Using BIAB as the backbone, we added 1 guitar and couple of vocals. Enjoy CLiff OK here are the lyrics Southern Rock, using Classic Rock as the style and one bad a-- president. HA I'm still debating my run. I'm gonna run a campaign for president, I'm gonna take control of the government My administration won't be giving it away easy street is over on my very first day If you want to get money, You'd better get a job Cause I'll be chopping off hands from politicians that rob Nothings gonna be the way that it was Network news is really gonna buzz Hard times are coming for those that want to go and desecrate the flag of the country we know. People are gonna be proud they sent me to Washington as President Super guitar instrumental using THU amp sim well on my 4th or 5th term and all the judges picked The Supreme Court will walk with a mighty big stick Radical change is coming your way Treat your neighbor nice, and watch what you say!!! Kings of nations will bow like they are bent When they come to this American President Repeat first verse https://soundcloud.com/cliftondykes/the-american-president

The intro lead guitar, (well all the lead sections - not the lick spots), is way too loud.
The vocals are cool but feel odd on the side - it makes it hard to focus on the words with so much going on.
I reckon a trad stereo image would help - as when the lead drops away the lyrics are easier to grab.
Cheers

Hello Cliff,
You had the shortest intro for your song I ever saw!
Nothing about the style, the used instruments or (most important) the lyrics.
The melody is a nice rock and roll, but I hardly heard the words. So I still don't know if you love this president or not. I have heard some words and the way I interpreted them I think it's the latter. And I hope I'm not wrong on that ;-)
So, please show me the lyrics...
I think your singing needs to be more upfront. In this kind of music you almost have shout your words. In any case don't give a hummble impression with the vocals. They have to sound more brutal (as we in the Netherlands would say).
But the song itselve has a good vibe and will undoubtedly make people swirl through the dancehall!
Hans

Good work, Clifton. Unlike bluegrass, traditional folk, and Christian, the Southern Rock style has not really been adapted to the "back to core values" movement. Yet. Maybe you'll be the one. Some are going to complain that title is click bait, in today's news environment.

Politicians are easy pickings for protest songs.....
Nice rocker.
Don't know if I'd vote for you or not though......

Very good basic rock'n'roll tune with good tight band and sharp sound. Nice lead vocal and backing vocals. I'm quite sure this president would be much better than many current presidents in the world  Janne

Hi Cliff,
Wow!
This is stepping outside of what I usually hear when I click on your links. I love it.
I'm sitting here, both feet tapping up and down and I'm typing in time to the music! What a great song, excellent write, outstanding arrangement and super production. You've pulled out all stop with this one.
It's thumbs up from me!
Regards,
Noel

Cliff, Y'all got an excellent Southern Rock sound on this. A good cohesive sound. (the vocal does seem to lean left a bit - even if the lyric doesn't ) Well done. Good rocker. fj

Hi Cliff,
Thanks for including the lyrics. Had no idea it was you running for president.
Better than what you face right now ;-)
But very funny lyrics. Had no idea this was what you sang about...

Fun listen. A bit different from others I have heard of yours... That is probably campaign itch talking. Southern Rock it is! Good recording & mix.
P.S. You still have 11 month to make that choice. Thank you for sharing.
Misha.

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."
