Peter / Janice & Bud.
Super cool! A lot of drive in this tune. Janice, excellent vocals! (a bit jealous again smile ).
Peter, guitar playing is great and you got some signature tube sound, which I initially thought was a bit dry, but when solo came in I totally got the texture you were after. Production is top tier. Congrats to you all and thank you for sharing!

I really like the arrangement on this, Peter, the way you start off with just the piano until the third verse. Nice way to bring in that solo at 3:24! And nice to hear you stretch out a bit there too.

Guitar sounds great, and of course Janice sounds great too.

Good job on the mix, love those drums! What are you running that midi piano through if you don't mind my asking?

Very, very good smile

Thanks for those comments appreciate them all. I used the True Pianos soft synth in Sonar for the midi piano.

Wow. smile

Good is so many ways.

I expected Janice's sultry vocals and excellent production, and was not disappointed. Piano sounds great.

I didn't expect the guitar solo - icing on top of an already scrumptious cake.

Vocal control, you say. Never heard of it. Is that some kind of ProTools thing?

A classic song and a searing guitar line against Janice's smokey vocal - it does not get better than that.

The arrangement and mix is so beautifully textured. You all have remade a classic and made it yours.

More of this please!

Bob


Thanks Bob - hopefully more to come.

excellent cover, great song!

Janice, super vocals

the mix is top notch

Peter, I've never noticed before but I heard some ec (eric) influence in those solos

fine playing

I've been watching Peaky Blinders (early 1900s English crime drama)

and this song would fit in beautifully.

btw, I've played this one before, years ago in a club band.

I was just the quiet bass player in the background.

This is one of my favorite songs and you really kicked butt (PC version) on this!

The arrangement was perfect. The mix was perfect. Janice's vocal and Peter's guitar were phenomenal!

This version is as good as or better than most of the commercial versions that I have heard.

You all should be very proud of this one.


Me, it's not about how many times you fail, it's about how many times you get back up.

Everything in this is excellent Peter! You must have spent a lot of time tweaking and getting this one ready to go! All the instruments are perfectly placed and mixed well (loved that growling organ) and of course the guitar sounds great as well as that perfect vocal! Thanks, Torrey

WOW!

If there's a better version of this old classic anywhere out there, I've never heard it. That piano just weaves its way throughout the song like the subtle current of a meandering stream. This is so good in every possible way. I can't think of much else to say other than "WOW!" The talent in this forum is mind-boggling and this is a fabulous example of that. I'm stunned with the way this song overtakes me as I listen. Again, WOW!

Not a thing I'd change - thanks for sharing smile

Love this song!! My son's jazz band plays this one....love the dark feeling of it. Never knew it had lyrics. You guys just knocked it out of the park!!! Janice can sing the hell out of this kind of tune (and probably about any kind!), and the guitar playing is sweet. Production/mix are tops!! Great job by all!!! Take care. Greg

Peter (and Janice):

Superb. That piano is outstanding—really sets the mood, and it’s mixed so well against Janie’s excellent vocal. This touches all the blues bases and then some . . . really impressive collaborative production. Enjoyed it a lot!

My best to you both,

Deej

The lyrics on this are good - makes this non-jazzy guy curious about other versions.
Janice`s vocals are so right.
A fine,fine collaboration.

Thanks Robert. There are quite a number of versions out there. Certainly worth a "google".

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."
