Hi everyone, I made a Bluessong shortly after I had posted another song, but I had to; It is based on a true story. The girl in this song asked me if I was able to make a song about her and my son. I couldn't refuse, of course. So here it is. I enjoyed making this song, because of the story, but also because of the way the chorusses worked out and that nice baritonguitar. It's a pity that they can't meet because of the Coronavirus. but I don't sing about that. The song's title is a nod to that famous James Bond movie, but also because of the girl's hometown. I hope you like this song: https://soundcloud.com/user-296497130/from-mexico-with-loveHans Berkhout Some information about the style and the instruments I used: Style: _BTGAMP.STY (Amplitube Bariton Blues Shuffle) RealTracks: ~1546:Bas, Electric, Country Swing Sw 85 RealTracks: ~673:Organ, B3 Gel 85 RealTracks: 2624:Guitar, Bariton, Blues Shuffle Bas En Licks Sw 085 RealTracks: 3246:Guitar, Electric, Blues Shuffle Sw 100 RealTracks: 3248:Guitar, Electric, Solo Blues Shuffle Sw 100 RealDrums :FunkSwing: a: Snare, Kickb: Snare, Open HiHat The lyrics: From Mexico with Love (c) HWBerkhout, 03/31/20 Verse Feel I'm in love now, the whole day long Had an encounter, it was so strong I was on a beach in Mexico Then saw you; you were planning to go Quickly dressed and packed my things I had to hurry, see what it brings Chorus You woman, swinging hips and sexy as can be Walking right in front of me It was like lightning that blew me to the ground This long haired lady I just had found I had to draw your attention, we must meet! It's you I need! Verse I was dreaming of a steaming relation That would be a whole sensation Never had fallen in love just like that But when I saw you; my heart was beating so bad Thought about this while rushing your way I had to hurry, this could be my day! Chorus Solo Chorus Chorus 2: You woman, swinging hips and sexy as can be Walking right in front of me It was like lightning that blew you to the ground You saw my big smile when turning around I had all your attention, Kind of....

Hans, Wonderful riffing from the baritone moves this and your raspy vocal tones are right for the song. I like the energy pickup on the chorus with the bgv. Interesting back story... dad making a songwriter`s "see what it brings" contribution to his son`s romance!

Robert Hi Robbert, Thanks for the compliments with those kind words! And yes it was a bit unusual to make songs my son had to do himself. But since he only listens to songs and can't make them I do it for him. She knows it could be he thoughts... I like to make a Blues once in a while. And if I could include a bariton in it, that makes the day! Brings the passion of the story to life. Very good! Some hot licks.
Hello Captain, I thought about doing a JB imitation, but gave me too much problems to crie that 'Yeahhh' you did so well. But thanks for your comment on the song. Hans,
Super Cool! Love the BAND. Nicely arranged and a good mix. A good passionate vocal. A hot solo. Nice! Good write, good story. Might be my favorite from you. Well done...
fj Wow Floyd! That felt great to read this could be a favorite of you. And I am not teasing at all (this time)! Thanks for your very nice words. Stay save, Hans

Hi Hans ...
This is my very favorite of your songs that I've heard. This is just so cool!
The backing tracks really move this along. Love the drums in particular. And the bass really drives! The background vocals on the chorus are really sweet! And that's a smoking lead guitar!
You outdid yourself! loved it!!!!!
Best to you. Be safe ...

This suits your voice really well: the right register, pace & everything. Cool Bvox too. Well done. Hi Ray, I think you are right about this kind of songs and my voice. But in my head I want to sing all kinds of songs. i am working on a Dutch song at this moment ( a poem from my mother), although I find Dutch a super difficult language to sing in. I think you must have the same problem if you would try it too ;-) But thanks for your nice compliments on the song! My favourite genre. Boy what a cool backtrack. Your vocal is perfect for the song. One of favs of yours. Guitar is very cool Hi Scott, I could say the same things I wrote to Ray. I try to sing some more Blues this year, but be prepared for other styles! And I hope you listen to those as well (as you have proven you do). Even if it would be that Dutch song I'm working on :-) But thanks for your comments. Nice vibe to song. I love the Fx on the chorus. It really add depth to it. Good one. Hi Jptjptjpt, please tell me your real name... This sounds like the singing of a bird. Wonderful, but a challenge as a name. I am also very pleased with the result of the vocals in the chorusses. It was a wild guess. And your (and others) words proved it turned out well. Thanks for your judgement! Floyd nailed it!! Super catchy chorus! Stay safe Hans! Take care. Greg
Hi Greg, yes I am also very happy with Floyd's words and now with your words confirming that. Thanks! To all of you: Stay safe and thanks a lot, Hans

What a great band for a nicely swinging (hips) blues love song! Everything works perfectly, the solo guitar is hot and the mix has edge. I really enjoyed your voice with backing vocals in the chorus. Maybe I would have added some Mexican musical reference like an accordion or some other Latin element, but of course it works without any, as a pure blues rock song.

Hi Hams,
yeah - finally a new Haarlem Shuffle...
Like I already wrote in my e-mail I really like this one a lot. First of all it's a blues tune so I am attracted anyway. But this one is one of the really good ones, so I couldn't help but like and enjoy it a lot.
Great backing track (how come you always are so successful in finding the perfect ones?) - nice lyrics and passionately sung - couldn't ask for more, I guess.
Really, really well-done, Hans,
Gezond blihven, hoor !
Groethes,
Stefan

Alan Hello Alan, this is really a very kind reply! And I know you as a very serious man, I take all your words for the real truth. That's why I showed your post to my son (the lover in the song). Now he agree I can make -some- nice songs. I'm happy you helped me achieving this! And I'm very pleased too you liked the song, so thanks a lot! Be save, Di and you, Hans

Love the baritone guitar! What a great sound. This is great, Hans, love everything about it. Definitely one of your best. Hi Dave, thanks for this big compliment from one of the kings of Blues! I had a broad smile the whole day through after reading your words. But you also raised the bar for me now. How can I make a new song that let you say these words again? But I take the challenge!!! Very nicely done! Very creative and flows tremendously well. The effects on the hook really breathe life into it. Decently catchy too Thanks for sharing! Hello Deryk, what kind words you wrote. I liked the idea seeing you dancing around your table (you work at home now I presume) on this song! Don't tell me you did not... What a great band for a nicely swinging (hips) blues love song! Everything works perfectly, the solo guitar is hot and the mix has edge. I really enjoyed your voice with backing vocals in the chorus. Maybe I would have added some Mexican musical reference like an accordion or some other Latin element, but of course it works without any, as a pure blues rock song.
Janne Hi Janne, it crossed my mind adding some Mexican sounds in the song, but I was convinced this would have killed this Blues. I had an image in my mind of a sexy walking woman on the sidewalk while my son was following her with longing eyes (not stalking of course). But that was rejected too. So then I thought about the rhythm in that fabulous Black Velvet song to symbolize that image. And there was the song. It also worked out nice to make a chorus like this and it was fun making it. I certainly will add this fx in other songs. So thank you all for judging the song, Stay healthy, Hans

Hey, Hans:
Digging the opening to this, and the thereafter—kinda Doors-like. Great vocal, really hits the right tone and sits nicely in the mix. Very, very cool—very, very slick. Without a doubt, my favorite tune from you—HOT! Well done!
My very best to you,
Deej

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."
