I am heading out on the road again for a couple of months. Most of the places we go to are out of cell phone range. I will check back in when I can. Everybody stay well! I was going through my loop library and found this nylon latin guitar. I thought it was perfect for the song I was thinking of. https://soundcloud.com/tommyad/santa-fehttps://tommyadamsmusic.com/track/2462679/santa-feRealTracks in style: ~543:Guitar, Electric, Rhythm Dreamy Ev 120 Direct Input, Simple RealTracks in song: 1752:Accordion, Rhythm Pop8ths Ev 110 RealDrums in Style: TexMexCountryEv8^1-a:Groove, Shaker & Scrapper , b:Ride, Shaker & Scrapper Recorded in Logic Pro X Plug Ins : Nectar 2, Neutron 2, Ozone 8, Tonal Balance, Waves LinMB, Waves, L3-LL Multi Limiter, Scuffam Amps S-Gear, Waves Vocal Rider, Waves Bass Rider Royalty Free Loops Vocals, Acoustic Guitar, Electric Guitar, Tom Adams Santa Fe Once I had a settled life I thought I ‘d made a home A pretty girl with eyes black as night But a burr got under my saddle off I had to roam branded forever when she cried Desert wind keeps blowing in Thoughts of long ago Not sure how I ended up this way California’s Fine but she’s still on my mind Since I heard that Kacey’s back in Santa Fe There’s nothing like a sunset on a high desert plain To help a man see where his trail goes The cowboy life can rope you in in ways you can’t explain Make you give up everything you’ve known Desert wind keeps blowing in Thoughts of long ago Not sure how I ended up this way California’s Fine but she’s still on my mind Since I heard that Kacey’s back in Santa Fe Desert wind keeps blowing in Thoughts of long ago Not sure how I ended up this way California’s Fine but she’s still on my mind Since I heard that Kacey’s back in Santa Fe ©2020 Thomas Adams

Tom,
An excellent write. Simple, solid, saying all it needs to in short order.
Your usual excellent vocal. Distinctive - like the "distintive" greats - Willie Nelson, Merle Haggard, Tom T. Hall...
Great tracks all around. Your mixes always POP. They bring my speakers ALIVE.
And they always have tasty elements sprinkled throughout.
This one really "sticks with ya". The hallmark of "done right". In all regards.
fj
Have great (safe) travels!

Hello Tom ...
Totally loved this! Every nuance of the recording is perfect. And the mix is full without being busy. I agree with you about the nylon guitar loop. You have a very distinctive sound that screams "Tom Adams Here!"!
I do not understand one single word of this: Recorded in Logic Pro X
Plug Ins : Nectar 2, Neutron 2, Ozone 8, Tonal Balance, Waves LinMB, Waves, L3-LL Multi Limiter, Scuffam Amps S-Gear, Waves Vocal Rider, Waves Bass Rider
Royalty Free Loops
Well, the Royalty Free Loops is within my comprehension!
Wishing you the very best. Be safe on your trip ...
Alan

Hey Tom, I really like this. The acoustic sounds perfect in this. Nice work all the way around.

This is perfect - the melody and RT's, the story, the song, the vocal.
I was hooked in less than six seconds.
Standing ovation, Tom.
Careful on the road.

Great singing, great song, and I loved those guitar fills. I loved the way that it led into your chorus, and the all too brief solo. Stellar!

Bud's first thought was Marty Robbins meets Eagles. Janice's was, "It makes me want to watch a western movie or read a western novel." Man, that vocal and acoustic guitar are outstanding. And the write is equally top bar. "There’s nothing like a sunset on a high desert plain To help a man see where his trail goes" A fav of many great lines. The production? What's left to say? Pro studio sound ALL the way. Janice said she'll be singing it all day  J&B

Hi TommyAD,
Wow, what a cool tune!
Like a big ole bite of the southwest if I've ever heard it.
Such a complex mix of instruments that sounds so simple and clean.
"Since I heard that Kacey’s back in Santa Fe"
This line tells me that it's kind of a personal thing with you.
Otherwise you may have used Maria or Consuelo...
Well, at least you don't rust in the high desert...
I enjoyed listening to it. Thanks for posting!

The layers of guitars really stood out for me. A bit of mystery is felt in that sound.
Good vocal performance and tune. Very enjoyable!

Band-in-a-Box® - Boxing Clever - Sound on Sound #TBT
Did you know that Band-in-a-Box® is more than 30 years old? I stumbled across this 1990 magazine article explaining the relatively new program, and think it's an enjoyable read for any Band-in-a-Box user - it really shows that we are always listening to user feedback when developing our program!
Read the article: Boxing Clever: Band-In-A-Box Software
A few of my favorite statements:
"The intention of PG Music's Band-In-A-Box package is to couple that speed and convenience with the improved flexibility of the personal computer. Versions are available for the Atari ST, Mac, and PC compatibles. Have the programmers succeeded? And can they rid themselves of the stigma of the auto-accompaniment section? Given the above state of affairs, the first hurdle that the program has to overcome is one of acceptance and, frankly, a name like 'Band-In-A-Box' is a bad start."
(I think our name was a great start!)
"The final results are, to say the least, impressive. Band-In-A-Box achieves something that most hardwired auto-accompaniment sections have never been able to do - inject a degree of feel into the music. It really does sound more human than so many of the computer generated pieces I've heard."
"...I'm quite convinced that PG Music will have a winner on their hands. This is one piece of software that you can get more out of than you put in."
