https://soundcloud.com/kfl44/long-way-from-gainesvilleLong Way From Gainesville © 2019 Kenny Leverett In a setting straight out of nowhere A towheaded boy with a dream Wanting to be like Elvis Buys some Black Diamond strings They said he’d never amount to nothing Not enough meat on the bone Sitting all day in his bedroom Trying to write a song It’s a long way from Gainesville Following a yellow brick road Of all the memories I’m keeping the good ones Just so you know Put my thoughts down on paper And then call it a day Pick up my guitar tomorrow And play Here in the city of angels There’s so many broken hearts Lost souls are out there Sleepwalking down the boulevard It’s a long way from Gainesville Following a yellow brick road Of all the memories I’m keeping the good ones Just so you know Put my thoughts down on paper And then call it a day Pick up my guitar tomorrow And play And in all of your journeys However far you go You’ll live here in my heart Just so you know

Kenny Leverett, YOU are KILLIN' it!!
ANOTHER INCREDIBLY good song!
An outstanding write. Amazingly good.
A terrific arrangement. Excellent BAND.
Top-notch vocal. Oozes sincerity.
Maybe your best mix ever.
I was expecting this to have a Petty sound (something I've always wanted to try to emulate with BIAB), but it's "all Kenny"...
One more HUGE WOW!

Yep... very good write there.
I agree with the things Floyd mentioned.
It had a hint of Tom Waits on the vox... kinda almost raspy but real. The music had a Springsteen groove from his early days when he was smokin good. He used piano like you do in this song.
Yep, like this a lot.

Wow - what a tune! Love the progressions, and it is perfectly catchy. As Floyd said, the arrangement on this is top notch and it sounds extremely professional. I wouldn't bat an eyelash if I heard this on the radio. You should be proud of this one - thanks for sharing
Cheers, Deryk

Kenny, Well composed ballad! Good balance of instrumentals and vocals. I liked this part: "Here in the city of angels There’s so many broken hearts Lost souls are out there Sleepwalking down the boulevard"
The vocal "ooohs" was a nice addition, but if you are up for suggestions, I think they end a little sharp, maybe small reverb tail would smooth endings?
Thank you for sharing! Misha.

Very nice melody and chording. "Of all the memories I’m keeping the good ones" - touching lyrics as well. Well mixed full powerful arrangement, I especially like the piano, maybe some section would have worked also with just piano backing.

Apart from being a cool story song it's a classic example of working with family rhyming - plosives, fricatives and nasals. Perfect rhymes aren't always perfect for a song - this makes that case really well.

Good write, kind of reminds me of a song the Eagles would write. Lots of musicians can relate to this story as so many try, but it's not in the cards. Love the melancholy but the appreciation and recognition.

This is really good Kenny. I agree with Floyd. You are killin' it.
Inspires me a lot man. Makes me want to play. I can't think of a higher compliment than that.
I know you have been compared to a lot of people but it sounds like Kenny to me. You are an artist in your own right, dude.
Great job.

Well thank you so much, I already offered to buy the first round, I may have to make it a case now. After TP died I wanted to write a tribute to say that he and his songwriting meant so much to me for so many years, I remember learning the chords and parts to Here Comes My Girl many years ago and it seems like he's been there for most of my life. Of course he's still there, so when I was repairing something minor in the yard it comes to me (seems like it always happens when you're not trying) the story of the towheaded boy from Gainesville, not a likely rock n roll hero. There's little nods to the verses in Free Falling. I'm humbled and so appreciative of your kind words, you're one of my favorite writers. Thanks man

Yep, like this a lot. Thanks Herb, I really appreciate it. Everyone hears something different which is great, You hear a hint of Tom Waits, it makes me chuckle, I'm trying my best to sing softly and not have that gravel in this song that I usually have. I'm glad that you noticed the piano and compare to another of my heroes I was afraid that I'd buried it in the mix, I bring it up after the last chorus.

Thank you for sharing! Misha. Hey Misha, Thank you for the listen and kind words, I don't ever mind hearing a critique from someone, I listened again with my focus on the oohs and heard them cut off a little abruptly in one place, so it probably happens more than that in the song. It's always better to have a second set of ears on something. I wasn't paying a lot of attention to them, what I hear is all the vocal parts that could be better. I don't like doing vocal punch-ins if I can help it. I decided that the emotional feel captured was worth keeping. Anyway, thanks for the input.

Kenny ...
You are simply a tangle of excessive talent on two feet. This is wonderful. To me it doesn't sound like anyone but Kenny L. And that's one helluva great sound to have. So many great lines and the production and delivery are impeccable. This is what good - no great - music is supposed to sound like. I'm in awe and appreciation of your many talents. Wishing you the best ...

Everything sounds "right", just another great song from you.

Just when we figure you can't raise the bar any higher along comes this! You just set the piano on fire and exited the stage It's a real gift to have your talent but when you ice it by having such a signature sound...man! As a friend says "this is as strong as a garlic milkshake!" I think we're gonna have to watch the Petty documentary "Chasing a Dream" again...soon. We could pick out all the goodness and list it but it's all good - every big and small part of the performance, write and production. Wow! J&B

Janne Thanks Janne, I appreciate your kind words, I did try a verse stripped down to just piano, bass, and drums it didn't work as well to my ear, so I dropped the piano out towards the end and then brought it back for a build on the overall sound.

Hi Kenny.
You seem to be on a roll at the moment - everything you do just gets better and better.
This is the sort of song in which you just get immersed and lose yourself for four minutes or so. I found my self drifting along with that super-relaxed backing track and being absorbed by the lyric.
Fabulous stuff.
ROG.

Hi Kenny.
You seem to be on a roll at the moment - everything you do just gets better and better.
This is the sort of song in which you just get immersed and lose yourself for four minutes or so. I found my self drifting along with that super-relaxed backing track and being absorbed by the lyric.
Fabulous stuff.
ROG. Thank you so much ROG, I appreciate your listen and comments. love your 57 Chevy song

Kenny,
Very nice melody! Great vocal as usual. I agree with Janne. I especially like the piano, maybe some section would have worked also with just piano backing. Twin guitar solo is also nice. Enjoyed my listen a lot.
Best regards.

Shigeki Adachi Hey Shigeki, Thanks for the listen and kind words tried the piano backed verse, it just didn't sound very good to me

Hi Kenny,
What a terrific listen! I loved the journey that you just carried me along on. This is such friendly-on-the-ear music and it's a style that I relate to well.
Everything about this gave me goosebumps (and I mean that in the best way possible). You really do have the knack for coming up with excellent compositions and presentations.
All the best, Noel

Handy flash drive tip: Always try plugging in a USB device the wrong way first? If your flash drive (or other USB plug) doesn't have a symbol to indicate which way is up, look for the side with a seam on the metal connector (it only has a line across one side) - that's the side that either faces down or to the left, depending on your port placement.

Band-in-a-Box® 2024 Review: 4.75 out of 5 Stars!
If you're looking for a in-depth review of the newest Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows version, you'll definitely find it with Sound-Guy's latest review, Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows Review: Incredible new capabilities to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs.
A few excerpts:
"The Tracks view is possibly the single most powerful addition in 2024 and opens up a new way to edit and generate accompaniments. Combined with the new MultiPicker Library Window, it makes BIAB nearly perfect as an 'intelligent' composer/arranger program."
"MIDI SuperTracks partial generation showing six variations – each time the section is generated it can be instantly auditioned, re-generated or backed out to a previous generation – and you can do this with any track type. This is MAJOR! This takes musical experimentation and honing an arrangement to a new level, and faster than ever."
"Band in a Box continues to be an expansive musical tool-set for both novice and experienced musicians to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs, as well as an extensive educational resource. It is huge, with hundreds of functions, more than any one person is likely to ever use. Yet, so is any DAW that I have used. BIAB can do some things that no DAW does, and this year BIAB has more DAW-like functions than ever."
