SO SOULFUL!!!! SO Authentic and organic sounding........love that you combined a live hand clap......I immediately wondered where you got the claps. Janice absolutely knocks this out of the park, and Peter's guitar is dark and sweet!! LOVE IT!!! Take care. Greg

Hi there J&B + Peter.
Well first of all, it sounds fabulous.
I could write reams of superlatives about the usual things - Janice's superb vocal, Peters clever guitar work, the excellent mix, but what impressed me most of all about this track was the arrangement.
I mentioned how professional your arrangement was in my last review, but even since then I'm amazed at how your skills have developed and matured. Too many productions fail because the backing doesn't change at all throughout the song and the interest wanes, but this song has textures. It's the attention to detail, all the little bits which appear and then are gone again, the various mood changes, all these things take time and effort, but are what ultimately make the track professional, as well as enthralling.
Yes, it all sounds fabulous.
ROG. Rog, your thoughtful comments are greatly appreciated. Thank you for mentioning the arrangement. We listened to a lot of versions early on trying to decide where to take it. Knowing your expertise in performance and production makes your review even more special! J&B

Hello Janice and Bud,
Superb composition. The solo voice is superb as well as the choirs. It's really professional. The guitar is really in its place and intervenes just when it is needed. Very very good job.
Kindly regard
Dero13 alias JaniJackFlash
Thanks for listening and the nice comments! J&B

J&B (and Peter),
Really, really cool take on this. Terrific listen, outstanding production. The clapping in the background, accentuated with Janice’s terrific harmonies, give this such depth and richness. Peter slays the solos. Slick stuff!
My best to you all,
Deej Thanks Deej, we all three had a blast with this! J&B Dang, Y'all. Love the simple, groovy and gritty backing. Luscious bass and handclaps, guitar chords and fills. Janice carries this old gospel thing with a reverence and grace. The background vocals take the whole vocal treatment into the fields. Sweat.
A special note on Peter's part: As much as I love it when a lead line provides a different take on a different melodic idea, I love it when a guitar player just takes the melody on. When Peter's part came in, my goose-bumps got goose-bumps.
My favorite from the three of you. Thank you so much for your thoughts on the vocals! And your mention of Peter’s guitar is greatly appreciated as we felt the same way. And your continued support is appreciated as always. J&B hi J&B Peter great job I agree Janice can sing anything I can hear a spiritual fire behind this indeed great mix love it thanks for sharing Eric Thanks Eric. Spiritual Fire is a great way to describe what we had hoped for! J&B

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."
Happy Easter! Holiday Hours...

Our Customer Service hours this weekend are:
