Floyd,

That really swings!

Excellent vocal and delivery - I love the rapid fire vocal line - very effective.

As always, your mixes are the best!

Should be a hit by my reckoning, gotta get you more exposure somehow. You did this in 30 minutes? It takes me hours/days to write my lyrics, then I got the whole rest of the song to do as well. Pretty amazing, dude.

Is that it, Floyd? You have a way with a phrase, you know that?

When you gonna meet some nice women? smile

Strong song. Sounds very good on my phones at a bit over mid-volume. The kick is very powerful. Nice production. I liked the way the lead tucks back into the mix after it's turn and just pokes the coals till the end.

Floyd.... IMHO.... One of the best things you've done in a while.

It's got Brooks and Dunn imbedded in it's soul.

Solid job all the way around. It checks all the boxes. Into the chorus in under a minute, close to 3 minute run time, lyrics are fun, nice uptempo groove, and a fat mix. What's not to like about it?

I could hear this ON a B&D stage.

"She makes it look easy"; "She's tried everything" and in the end, you still tell her to "Wait Her Turn". Is she steadily working her way to "You Really Did It This Time"? wink

Great song, strong write, arrangement and production. Fun to listen to -- over and over

Enjoyed my listen.

Hi Floyd ...

My time is very limited for a while but when I saw you had a new one up ... I carved out some space in my daily schedule for a few listens ... didn't want to miss anything you you post. I listened to one of my favorite B & D songs last night as I was cleaning up the kitchen after dinner ... Neon Moon. You sure did capture their sound quite nicely. Thanks for the smile on my face ... my ears are smiling, too! Best to you & yours ...

Alan

30 minutes, three hours or three days...it's a heckuva song and
certainly lets one envision long necks and line dancing. And there
ain't nuthin' wrong with that.

We hate to use the word "pro" because, well, you are a pro...but, man,
the production value of this is just sky high.

A showcase for the use of RT's/RD's on the showcase forum smile

Take the above, throw in the always excellent mr jane vocals and lyrics
and you've absolutely nailed that B&D thang!

Superbly well done,

J&B

Very, very well done! You always shine when you publish your songs, because they are so well-produced and naturally born as ear-hangers. Absolutely love it!

I really enjoy your song. The guitar sounds AWESOME !!! Lyrics and music hang together nicely, and your vocals are spot on for the country feel. Great mix, harmonies, and backing tracks all work.

Nice job.

Floyd,
I think you saved the best lyrics for the last verse with that list!
There`s so much in the details I enjoy on songs like this you make with such ease - the sweetly placed doubled vocal, that little twang in your phrasing, the amazing punch of the drums...its all top shelf, sir!

What a cool song. Definitely hear B and D! Seems easy enough to do, until you try it. Because they and you make it look effortless.

RD is one of my fav singers, and you are right up there. There was a point a point I thought I heard a little Roy Orbinson sound going on. And as I type this, I am remembering RD himself does that on occasion. Impressive!

Your lyrics are never missing. Great use of the names. VERY fun to hear.

The song just sounds like it sound. It's clever, well delivered, and I feel is a great mix of the 90's and 20's country. I know younger kids would think this song is pretty cool! I think it's a really well delivered universal theme.

Well placed breaks too! That really ads to the lyric, doesn't it? I loves me a good break.

So, you did it again Ronnie. Another great song.


RD is an incredible singer! Have you heard his new solo record "Re-Dunn"? It all covers - and shows how versatile his voice can be - fitting in to a number of different genres...

Thanks for so many nice comments about the song and the production!

Breaks!... HAHAHA... I get it smile wink (chuckling still...)

As usual there's a story worth following and a melody that has hooks galore.
Your mix is terrific.


ray - thanks for all the nice comments... I am always interested in hearing if you catch anything "off"...

Love the hook, very memorable.

And your mixes are always right on the money, pure perfection.

Enjoyed the listen, I'm a fan smile


Thanks, Dave! I am a fan of your work, as well...

Janne


janne - thanks for listening. I haven't any sense of the verses being much different melodically, myself. They fall fairly naturally for my ear... thanks for the note, though...

One spot at 2:49. "your turn" phrase dives into a little. I would not have mentioned this, but since it is the theme of your song, and YOU said that it would NOT break your heart I will smile Otherwise, cool catchy song done masterfully. Thank you for sharing.

Misha.


Thanks, Misha. You are right..."turn" sort of disappears at the spot...I hadn't notice that before... I'll fix it for the greatest hits album smile

Classic man! Sounds like a hit to me. You are killer with those catchy hooks dude!


cool

Note: I am taking a different approach to getting re-involved and stay involved with the forum after a business-related absence. I listen to the forum in the background while I am writing and working, just to enjoy all the songs. Then, I will go to each one on a separate occasion and post the equivalent of a “Love It”—my version of a like. That is why all my comments might come at the same time, though I could have listened days ago.
This is the best way I know to stay caught up. If I feel I have to listen one song at a time and then offer a critique it makes my brain shut down. I just want to enjoy them—like I am listening to the radio.
If I post any new songs in the future, it will just be as a “radio” post—hope you enjoy it. If you do, that is cool. There is no need to post a lengthy comment.
I have been listening in my absence and all the new stuff sounds great. This will be attached to all my messages for a few weeks or a month until my new method is understood. Thanks!!

Hi Floyd,

Well I just blasted the whole street out with this fantastic track. Damn this is good country. smile

And I so envy your mixing and mastering skills. As someone said previously, it's a broadcast quality mix.

You gotta get this to someone, this is a hit.

Martin. smile smile

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."
