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® 2021 for Windows Reviews!

Head to www.gearsltuz.com for the latest Band-in-a-Box® reviews by Sound-Guy and CoolGuitarGear!

Band-in-a-Box continues to evolve into an expansive musical tool-set for both novice and experienced musicians. You can produce not only new compositions and arrangements, but also perform them with excellent musical “talent”. It’s easy to use the basic functions, and challenging enough to keep you occupied for years. As it has been for years, it’s an amazing program.
-Sound-Guy

From my perspective, as a long-time user of BIAB, the above improvements, changes and additions definitely take the program to the next step. The new elements and audio upgrading are fantastic and I’m even more excited to work with this version than some others in the past.
