Nice song, all your elements worked really well and brought the BIAB components to life. I can imagine that outro solo building and building in a live setting. Cool stuff. _________________________ Cheers rayc "What's so funny about peace, love & understanding?" - N.Lowe Pop on over to The Recording Rebels for positive, honest commentary, critiques and support. https://therecordingrebels.com

Always enjoy Leon's lyrics and vocal, also really like your vocal contributions on this one. Tasteful leads and I like your tone too, a little less distortion than you normally use I think. A good listen! _________________________ Dave Blue Attitude Website Blue Attitude YouTube channel

The simpler middle section is a nice touch. Works well. A really good mix. The bass is nice and punchy, with good definition. The drums are crisp and clear. The acoustic is at a good level to allow the vocals to sit where they should... Enjoyed the listen. fj _________________________ 150+ Songs produced using BIAB RealTracks And 50 more... and some more...

The strummed guitar carries the relaxed rocking feel. Really good intro & outro accents and solo also. Taking it down a notch is working well! Robert

A solid throwback to a classic country style. I loved the switch up on the last verse too. Kept it sounding really fresh and engaging. Thanks for sharing! _________________________ Cheers, Deryk

Band-in-a-Box® - Boxing Clever - Sound on Sound #TBT

Did you know that Band-in-a-Box® is more than 30 years old? I stumbled across this 1990 magazine article explaining the relatively new program, and think it's an enjoyable read for any Band-in-a-Box user - it really shows that we are always listening to user feedback when developing our program!

Read the article: Boxing Clever: Band-In-A-Box Software

A few of my favorite statements:

"The intention of PG Music's Band-In-A-Box package is to couple that speed and convenience with the improved flexibility of the personal computer. Versions are available for the Atari ST, Mac, and PC compatibles. Have the programmers succeeded? And can they rid themselves of the stigma of the auto-accompaniment section? Given the above state of affairs, the first hurdle that the program has to overcome is one of acceptance and, frankly, a name like 'Band-In-A-Box' is a bad start."

(I think our name was a great start!)

"The final results are, to say the least, impressive. Band-In-A-Box achieves something that most hardwired auto-accompaniment sections have never been able to do - inject a degree of feel into the music. It really does sound more human than so many of the computer generated pieces I've heard."

"...I'm quite convinced that PG Music will have a winner on their hands. This is one piece of software that you can get more out of than you put in."
