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

Upgrading to Band-in-a-Box® 2020 is Easy!

Did you know... anyone who has owned a previous version of Band-in-a-Box® is entitle to upgrade pricing - you do not need to have your old version installed!

Maybe you used to own the Windows version, but you now have a Mac... that's not a problem either!
(or if you owned the Mac version, and now you have a Windows computer)

In both cases, you would purchase from the "Upgrade from 2018 or earlier or crossgrade" row here for a new Mac version, or here if you want the newest Windows version. Just need to upgrade your 2019 version? Use the "Upgrade from 2019/2020" row.

When you purchase your upgrade from either of these rows, you will receive a complete installation - just follow the steps of the setup, and your Band-in-a-Box® will be ready to use!

PG Music Inc. shopping cart accounts were not required to purchase from our website prior to October 29, 2014. With that in mind, you may have to create an account in order to upgrade - that's OK! You'll still be entitled to upgrade pricing.
