Nice P&W rocker for sure!
I'm old but I don't recall that hymn but then we went to tiny Methodist country churches. Heck I'm so old my grandparents were doing shape note singing in church...really.
Your guitar playing shines on this one!
We both always appreciate a genre smashing rework of an old PD song and, man, you delivered on this one!
J&B
BTW, Several times you mentioned wanting control over the drum kit. IMO, it's not difficult using volume and/or eq automation lanes to gain control or even remove a kit part. Once you've made the changes in a few select bars you can quickly comp up the new track from the bits you changed. Logic Pro makes it even easier as it will remove a tom or kick or snare allowing you to add yours to separate tracks for processing (not always perfect) - but as mentioned it can be done with volume shaping very accurately. . Logic also makes it easy via its "groove track" that will immediately and perfectly align all the tracks drum tracks you create with this process. As I'm sure you are aware all of the kit parts are at the end of each RD file for the respective track and can be copied for doubling or replacing parts on the original track. I like to find other samples sometimes. Sounds tedious but, at least for me, it takes less than 30m to double or replace snares/kicks. Volume shaping cymbals down or up takes more time but is, for me, sometimes worth it. Having the kit parts on separate tracks really opens up the RD options. All with a big ole FWIW!

"And Lord haste the day when my faith shall be sight, the clouds be rolled back like a scroll."
Got to be my favorite old Hymn, if only for this line alone. Powerful version that raised goose-bumps on me. Loved this. Goosebumps.... I guess that means mission accomplished. Thanks!

Herb ...
This is a really nice production. The backing tracks are a perfect fit and your guitar work, as usual, is excellent. This is one of your best vocals ... of the ones I've heard.
Excellent in all respects!
Alan THank you for the kind words. Glad it was good to you.

Guitarhacker:
This one worked really well for me—rich and compelling production. I’m not familiar with the source material, but this version resonates. Some great guitar work and the vocals are heartfelt and genuine. Thumbs up from this end!
Regards,
Deej Source material: The Baptist Hymnal. This is a classic old hymn of the faith.... I'm surprised you aren't familiar with it. Regardless, I'm glad you liked my interpretation of this old song.

Excellent rendition of "It is Well,"(written in 1873,) Herb.
When I think of that one, I naturally think of Hillsong's version and the impact their arrangement had on contemporary Christian. That, and the incredible life story of writer Horatio Spafford, which may be found on You Tube. Something not often mentioned is that Mr. Spafford had a falling out with his church, left and started a new one. Fitting, don't you think?
I was especially interested in the way you handled the drum track. I've listened to your version several times.

Really like this rendition, Herb. One of my favorite hymns. I like the arrangement, and the grittiness of your interpretation. I was familiar with the back story on this hymn, born out of severe tragedy, revealing great trust. It is a very humbling, yet inspiring song.
Bob Sorge wrote a book called Exploring Worship some time back. There is an interesting section about the contemporary styles of praise and worship. Here is a brief excerpt:
"A prominant American glergyman compiled the following ten reasons for opposing the new music trend of his day:
1. It's too new, like an unknown language.
2. It's not so melodious as the more established style.
3. There are so many new songs that it is impossible to learn them all.
4. This new music creates disturbances and causes people to act in an indecent and disorderly manner.
5. It places too much emphasis on instrumental music rather than on godly lyrics.
6. The lyrics are often worldly, even blasphemous.
7. It is not needed, since previous generations have gone to heaven without it.
8. It is a contrivance to get money.
9. It monopolizes the Christians' time and encourages them to stay out late.
10. These new musicians are young upstarts, and some of them are lewd and loose persons.
These ten reasons are adapted from a 1723 statement against the use of ---- hymns!"
So, even though my dad would not appreciate modern instrumentation/arrangement of this old hymn, I say - go for it! Give us some more!

Now, that's a church I want to go to!! Great rock vibe here and I think it suits the song very well. Excellent vocal on this Herb!! And guitar!! A great twist on a hymn!! Take care. Greg I had done a version of an old hymn rocked up, at my church before ( it was kind of jazzy.... on my sound click page) ..... they actually liked it. I like to hear the hymns the way I think they should be played. Sounds like you approve. thanks

Shape note singing.... wow.... that's ancient. I figured even the old timey methodists should know this one...... Oh well.... now you do. Thanks for the info and the listen.

Hillsong has some fairly hot versions of hymns and their song writing skills are extraordinary. Thanks for listening.

It sounds like you had a lot of fun with this one! Nicely done. Thanks for sharing. Yep indeed.... I did have fun. One of the things I did that worked nicely (I thought) was the reverse guitar at the end of the second verse. thanks for listening.

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."
