This is really good. Great arrangement and vocal.


Me, it's not about how many times you fail, it's about how many times you get back up.
Cop, that's not how field sobriety tests work.

Hi everybody! The actual style is Dickson pop country
75 bpm
Sorry I didn't write down the nylons solo and I saved it after I exported it under another name. But I just did a search for soloist nylon and pick the first one of two that popped up and edited it. Hope you guys like it.

I love it! Really original sound, a refreshing take on this! Your voice sounds relaxed and you have a calm delivery that soothes the soul. I love the choice of chords/harmony and RealStyle, too. Bravo!!!

An exceptional production.

The music is superb, and the vocal delivery is absolutely first class.

Everything about this spells out a first class production.

Every so often something comes along that is really outstanding. This is one of those events.

Hi Steve ...

I was really looking forward to hearing this. I grew up on the banks of the Missouri River ... literally. I could see it from my bedroom window.

This is really, really nice! You have a strong, pleasant voice and it;s one of the all-time great hits of the American Culture.

Excellent! Thanks for a great listen. Wishing you the very best. Be safe ...

Alan

Hey Mario, musician 17, Greg, Richard, tunemger, JP, Video and Al...
Thank you all for your kind words! I've always loved this song and felt okay putting it up here since it is a traditional piece. It took some editing with the nylon guitar solo but the other instruments just magically fell into place. It was almost like the steel guitar player was in the studio.
Barring any further distractions from this virus the new CD should be out in May.

This is an excellent version of the classic Shenandoah. Great use of BIAB, and very strong and dynamic vocals.

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."
