It's a happy circumstance when Dylan, Willie, and the late John Prine are releasing new albums. This fits very comfortably in that vein. Nice one Gentleman. Love the fade out too.

Very good work Peter! That guitar certainly sounds pretty good to me! The song has such a great message and I feel you constructed a wonderful backtrack to carry it! Nice work on the lead and bg vocals! Thanks, Torrey Thanks Torrey. Peter

Peter and Leon,
A very good and thoughtful lyric with the repetition setting the flow up nicely.
I agree the opening acoustic guitar grabs the attention ( we get so used to the RT guitar sound it makes me sit up when there`s something obviously different).
Lovely outro solo fits perfectly.
Robert

Ain't it the truth...
Straddling that line requires a lot of finesse!
There is so much to like here.
- the both thoughtful and thought provoking write
- the very nice vocals - had Janice singing along from the get go.
- Peter's guitar
- the cool arrangement and band choices
Janice said it made her cry the first time she listened the other evening.
So many life situations can fit this lyric. The hallmark of a great one.
Well done y'all!
J&B

Peter & Leon,
Very nice folk style song!
The lyrics fit the melody perfectly.
The jacket picture on Soundcloud is very nice.
The vocals are wonderful. The harmony part is especially great.
Enjoyed my listen a lot.
Best regards.

Liked how you gave a slight punch to your main "It's a fine line" phrase with your voice doubling. The guitars were excellent, and the overall mix very pleasant. Enjoyed my visit to your music!

Had me smiling from the very first piano notes--boy, would I love to have you pull this apart for me so that I could understand how you built it up--super sound, loved it!

Nothing more to add to the thunderous praise you've all received already - except to say that I, too, loved it unconditionally. Well done.

Very nice lyrics, simple with a clear message but still giving room for thoughts. The picking guitar has very nice sound and fits the overall folk mood. Good selection of instruments and the arrangement has enjoyable variation. Great vocals too.

Peter & Leon ...
You two gentlemen create some fabulous music. I always anticipate complete listening satisfaction when I click onto one of your songs. I'm never disappointed. Love the drums with your acoustic arrangement. This is simply wonderful. Congrats to both of you for a job well done!
Best to both of you. Be safe ...
Alan Thanks Alan very kind of you. Peter Nice song. I do like that guitar. Your guitar playing is good. Nice tone on your guitar. Good lyrics and vocals. I like it. Cool concept. Appreciate the comments. Peter That opening guitar sounds good to me, Peter. Also really like your acoustic solo.
Always enjoy Leon's lyrics and vocals, nice melody line too.
Good song you two, enjoyed! Thanks Dave Peter

I like this. Nice work on the song and the lyrics, as others have said, are well written.
Yep... The kontakt guitar actually sounds pretty convincing. I have a third party acoustic guitar called Strummer. Sounds really good but it's a little bit stiff and sounds too mechanical as a result. Thanks Herb. The Kontakt guitar does sound very nice - probably a way to subtly change the repeating pattern to remove the mechanical result that you get from this as well (but it sounds like hard work). Quite a lot of options available. Peter

Peter, Leon Very nice tune. Lyrics and performance is ACE. Kontakt Picked is ok...works, but as soon as Peter's solo comes in, you can see why it is just "ok"  Congrats on this project! I would put this tune among top few I heard from you. Thank you for sharing. Misha. Thanks Misha very much appreciated. Peter

Hi Peter an Leon,

Your lyrics are cleverly made and very good performed in this nice melody with the pretty good sounding acoustics.
This is very well done,
Hans

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."
