Great song Herb. Glad you dusted it off. "We're just good old boys, having our fun don't call the cops we'll let you know when we're done". These lines pretty well sum up the vibe and drive of this good ol' macho rock'n'roll song. Love the Neil Young-style vocals. Cheers, Mike

Guitarhacker (and David);
Very rocking tune . . . the guitars totally shine on this—really well put together. Nice to hear a BIAB harder rock song—almost makes me think of what a tune might sound like if AC/DC went country—if that makes any sense, lol! This was a cool listen—great job!
All the best,
Deej

A good driving beat. The ZZ guitars hold together well with the bass and drums. Mixed well. (some harmonies would give it a little sparkle).

Herb Enjoyed that. The guitars sound excellent as does the band.
Nice work.

Herb, you had me by the first measure. Good old kick @ss ZZ Top loud blasting blues. Perfectly mixed by the way.
What else can I say, LOVED IT! Had you at the first measure...... that's a good compliment. Glad you loved this

Great rocker, there's always room for smoking super sounding guitars, in the spirit of Sharp Dressed Man and some Gimme all your lovin'. Excellent mix and vocals.
Janne Thanks.... ZZ has been a favorite band sine the first time I heard them.... rocking on down the road of life... they are an influence on me to this day.

These lines pretty well sum up the vibe and drive of this good ol' macho rock'n'roll song. Love the Neil Young-style vocals. Cheers, Mike One of my first major rock influences was Neil Young. I loved the early stuff he was doing....country rock and folk stuff.... try as I might, his influence always seems to sneak into my vocal phrasing. Another singer that you might hear in there is Willie Nelson from time to time..... really loved how he phrases his lyrics. Thanks for listening.

My co-conspirator and compadre in the music business..... You sent a great idea that we eventually morphed into a song of sorts. A BIG thank you for the lyrics and the ideas.

All the best,
Deej I'm glad you heard the AC/DC influence in this. I was actually thinking as I was working on this that it did have the simplicity and driving bass/drums that are in many songs by Angus and the boys. No frills, straight ahead hard rock played simply. Thanks for listening and hearing that in there.

A good driving beat. The ZZ guitars hold together well with the bass and drums. Mixed well. (some harmonies would give it a little sparkle). I always appreciate your viewpoint on my tunes. I had considered harmony but opted not to include them in this mix. In fact, I normally layer the vox tracks 3 deep however, this is but one simple, lonely vox track. My mission or goal on this was to do this song with as few tracks as possible. There were 5 basic tracks..... bass, drums, two guitars, and one vocal..... and then for that extra thump in the chest, I added a deep, powerful, 4 on the floor synth kick. Yep 6 tracks..... A lot of my mixes end up with 12 or more tracks but this was an exercise to keep that number as low as possible and to do it without a lot of punch-in and overdubs.... When I screwed up, I would delete the entire track and start over. The purpose of that was to keep this feeling organic, fresh, and a feeling that it was "live" vs being studio perfect. I appreciate the comments. Thanks.

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."
