Darned, all the superlatives are already taken. Everything is great, but that vocal... so good.

Yeah, this REALLY good y'all. I too felt a little Don Henley, but it was totally original. Was that you guys playing? Killer song!!

This is great Alan and Greg! Love the eagles vibe happening on this, very cool indeed. Great progression and arrangement, and that lead guitar is right on the money. Loved the lyric, and man, those vocals! Outstanding collaboration!

Alan Here ...
A big thank you to all who have commented so nicely. Greg really put a shine on this one! To have such a voice ... sigh. And again, a big thanks to Greg for working his magic with this! I've been kind of hit and miss lately ... life got in the way. But, should be back more often real soon.
Again, thanks to all ...
Alan

Compelling well written story song. Y'all created a wonderful collab. The vocals, arrangement and that guitar solo really made the hotel california vibe your own. Kept my attention throughout. As Mario likes to say this one is a keeper for sure. Impressive!

I'm always happy when an instrumental is "converted". This is a grand job by all concerned - including BIAB.

Greg/Alan, I can only endorse the previous comments here. This is a corker of a song, great backing tracks and a superb lyric fabulously sung. I also loved the vocal harmonies, not to mention the great arrangement. Wow all round! Well done guys.
John Thanks John! Listened to your new one...blew me away!! Take care. Greg

What a tune! Incredibly ear-catching right from the opening chords. Someone else mentioned the Eagles - and that is a formidable comparison. It flows gorgeously, and really has some outstanding progressions. And that chorus - I was sold. I wouldn't change a thing - thanks for sharing Thanks Deryk! Appreciate your very kind words! Take care. Greg

West Coast in sound and title.
All kinds of influences from some of the best of that sub-genre and era. Very Henley like phrasing and that is always a good thing.
Love what Tangmo said "he vocal is outstanding and delivers this sad and seedy tale slowly and with such a sense of inevitability." Yeah!
Beyond the phrasing it's just a great vocal and harmony. And write, and arrangement and mix. Super cool melody.
We love forum collabs and this is one of the top ones showing off the talents of two forum members and the power of BiaB.
Kudos!
J&B
THanks J and B. LOVE your new one with Floyd!! Killer! 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."
Happy Easter! Holiday Hours...
2024 is well underway - it's already Easter Weekend!
Our Customer Service hours this weekend are:
Friday, March 29: 8-4
Saturday, March 30: 8-4
Sunday, March 31: closed
Regular hours resume Monday, April 1st - no joke!
