Hi all. I really like the lazy groove to this style. Songtradr was looking for a song about going home. As I was working on this song at the time I rewrote the lyrics about heading home through a storm. Unfortunately I was unsuccessful with Songtradr. All comments welcome. Rob4580 The Desert Drive Going no where on an twisted desert road my eyes are staring at the lightening. Only one head light to illuminate the dark feeling weary and I am tiring. Chase a tumble weed it disappears from site dust is dancing cross the road. I see the full moon from a break with in clouds I beg it take my heavy load. Chorus I do not Know with any certainty why your on my mind I do not Know what the answer is to be but I love you so. Bridge Chorus I do not Know with any certainty why your on my mind I do not Know what the answer is to be but I love you so. A clap of thunder takes focus my thoughts the rain is splashing on the windscreen. The wind is swirling and is wiping at brush makes wonder where Ive been. Oh so lonely on this twisted desert road ****** Song Summary ************* Title: Slow Folky Swing w/Strings File:The Deserd Drive.SGU Key=D , Tempo 75, Length (m:s)=3:44 2 bar intro, 64 bar chorus, from bar 3 to bar 66.

Very good singing as usual, I like how you used the lyrics as a guide and tweaked them as you sang to better fit the melody. Nice skill to have. Moody piece.

Good song, well put-together. The band is great and your low-and-lonesome vocals gave off that sense of parch. Nice little bit with the guitar wandering the lonely stereo field, too.

Their loss. This is terrific. Love the vibe and those backing vocals.
A professional sound to be sure.

Hello Rob4580, I found this very easy to listen and I really dug the timbres. Thoroughly enjoyed the banjo to harmonize everything. Well done!
Cheers, Joe

Rob, Very nicely done. Everything is high standard. Probably this would make one of the top songs I have heard of yours to my taste. Would not change a thing. Enjoyed this much, listens very well!
Thank you for sharing!
Misha.

Another good song... Sounds like you got 2 songs for 1... Perhaps you'll showcase the original song & lyrics in another entry... It would be interesting to compare the 2 of them.

Hi Rob,
This sounds really excellent. I thoroughly enjoyed everything about this presentation -- your singing, the songwriting, your arrangement, the mix, and the final production.
Really pleasant listening.
All the best, Noel

Rob,
I love everything about this song... You have that faraway sound in your voice that matches the arrangement perfectly.
Great track selection and mix.

Rob, everything about this is great: the song, the "band" (and the guitar licks), the vocals and the mix. I like the banjo in the background too. I could imagine Chris Rea performing this. Great job. Cheers, Mike

Your voice rides this song like a long haul truckie. Nothing to pick at - top shelf.

The groove flows really nicely from the very first beats to the end. Great arrangement, I like especially the bass and the resonator guitar. And your voice is always pleasure to listen to.

WOW!! Great moody piece! You've created a very cool sonic experience here which is perfectly enriched by the lyrics. Reminds me of Chris Isaak. Well done Rob!!! Take care. Greg

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."
