Well... Don't know what's got into me but this is the third song in a month. I'm creatively spent.  I had an old one written/recorded in 1988. I'm still pleased with the original for that time but wanted to bring it into the 21st century. So....I was fortunate enough to collab with Ken Lasiane again and record an updated version. He does lead guitar and the rhythm guitar panned left.I played rhythm guitar panned right. It's called Roadman...is there such a thing as a light rock story telling song? Maybe...maybe not. The style: _CDRIVIN.STY CountryDrivin8s w PedSteel[150RS Country Drivin' 8ths pedal steel, electric guitar and electric bass, joined by strumming acoustic guitar & the NashvilleEven8ths RealDrums style. (El.Bass, PedalSteel, El.Guitar, Ac.Guitar, Drums=NashvilleEven8^6-HiHat To any that give a listen I hope you found it worthy of your time. First song on the list: https://www.soundclick.com/artist/default.cfm?bandID=897733Roadman
Verse 1Street lights shining down on me. I need to cover ground Got to find an alley before the hawk is out And I’ve been told, I’m a roadman running....out on the road. Verse 2The midwest cold chills to the bone. The south sun has burned my skin. Well I've known worse addictions, all I know is where I've been. And I’ve been told, I’m a roadman running....out on the road. Lead Break Verse 3Where I'll be I could not say. What I can carry, is all that I've got. Still I keep my self respect, I always find a job. And I am told, I'm just a roadman running....out on the road. ChorusAm I chasing freedom, in fear of being trapped? A way of reaching forward or running from the past? I won't wear out my welcome....and I always watch my back. The Roadman' Code.....know when to make tracks. You've got to know when to boogie. Verse 4I guess it's time to jump this train. I got a message from some old friend. (She said) You've always got a place to stay, only a fool would not accept. I left the road...but I still think about running. Out on the road. Lead Break
Chorus
Vamp to end....© Wayne Evans: music & lyrics 2/14/88

A nice driving rock song, with some very nice guitar parts (some fancy quick licks that sounded very good).
A good write and well performed.

I thank you for taking the time to give it a listen. It's not a genre of appeal or popularity here but it may provide others that write in the same vein that BIAB is a very capable program. I confidently endorse it with others. Thanks for the very kind comments and have a great day.

Howdy Scott, Tunemonger and David.... I thank each of you very much for giving a listen. The kind comments are certainly a plus too. Scott.... Appreciate that...I do concentrate on lyrics and it turned out to be story telling rock song.Oxymoron....possibly. The vox is always a difficult recording hurdle for me. That damn red light go and m diaphragm tends to seize up and be uncooperative. Tunemonger.... Yes...Ken is a great guitarist...especially for my light rock writing propensities. Met him some time ago on this forum: https://www.tdpri.com/forums/I got lucky he liked the song (this is the 4th song over the last year) well enough to contribute to. David.... I'm lad you gave it a spin and commented....knowing it's not the most popular genre here. But...we all evolve in our writing preferences and thanks to this stunning program we're all able to pursue our creative interests. Thanks again gents....have a great weekend.

Man, those guitars really lay down a great bed for those harmonies. Welcome to the 21st century, Roadman. You made the trip well. Excellent rocking song for travelling down the road --any road. Great collab, Wayne & Ken.

Hello chulaivet 1966,
The melody is very nice and lends itself really well to your lyrics. Roadman is a name that resonates and gives a feeling of freedom despite the chains of life that keep us from being perfectly ourselves. I apreciated, it's well mixed and the lead guitar is great.
Kindly regard

Well howdy JJF..... Yes....it does have the 'freedom' vibe to it. Like the old movie from 1969 called Easy Rider when I had my motorcycle which was a Honda 450. Pretty cool to feel that way when we're young....and I'm not young anymore. I much prefer a home base and quiet life. Thank you very much for stopping by and giving it a spin. Have a great weekend. clv

I agree completely and I couldn't say it any better. That is one hell of a guitarist, great chops man. Your vocal is perfect for this song and the mix was spot on. Loved it.

Loved it. Howdy Mario..... Many thanks for chiming in with your comments. He's is a good axe player....makes me want chop up my guitars (only 3) as they would be best used as kindling. Appreciate your kind words. Have a great weekend everyone.....

Good write.
Guitars sound great though, I have one suggestion, bring the panning in just a bit.
The wide spread detracts from the enjoyment at times.
Love the multitracking on the vocals!

Love the multitracking on the vocals! moto Hey Cap.... I will revisit the panning aspect.that's an easy fix. I usually pan at 10:00/2:00 but my ears may have overcompensated at bit. Just the kine of nuances that us song writers need to hear. Singing is my biggest confidence hurdle to overcome on every song I've recorded. As soon as that red light goes on....you how it goes. I recall when I started recording my originals back in the early 80's and felt the same I figured I'd just bath my less than confident vocals in reverb. OMG....what an early learning experience that was. I'm sure I'm the only one that has ever tried that one. Many thanks for taking the time to listen and the very generous comments. All are appreciated. Have a great day everyone.....

Wayne, Very solid tune! Sounds great throughout nearly 5 mins Ken's + your guitars work very well together. I think you kept it right were it supposed to be. Modern, but not "too" modern, still has a lot of classic rock presence. Vocals are clear, but I would prefer them just a little louder. Thank you for sharing. Misha.

"It's called Roadman...is there such a thing as a light rock story telling song?
Maybe...maybe not." After listening to your song the answer is yes! Very cool song. Something about it seems "Dire Straight-ish". Thanks for sharing it. Really nice to listen to!

Howdy RS#.... Very kind of you to give a listen. I know I pushed the listening interest duration to the limit at pushing 5:00. I liked the story line and for it to culminate I had to let it run it's course. "Vocals louder"....admittedly, I'm a bit self conscious of my vocals...my biggest recording hurdle. HTL....howdy. I thank you also for taking the time to give it a spin. Funny you say that...one of my latest ones a few months ago called "You're Looking For A World" is right there ins the DS vein too. Guess I like his style. I'm glad the 'story' seemed to work in spite of pushing 5:00. Thanks again gents for listening/commenting....AND, a resurrection from page 3. Have a great evening all....

Hey, it's a great style IMO. I dig it. I'm glad the 'story' seemed to work in spite of pushing 5:00. Well, I think we all know those 3 minute songs that went on 4 minutes too long. Personally, when a song is done well like this, I really enjoy it. Again, really great job.

RealBand® Works Great in Windows® 11!
Here's an introductory look at RealBand® running on the preview version of Windows® 11!
Watch the video.
Customers LOVE Band-in-a-Box® 2021!
Check out some of the latest Band-in-a-Box® feedback we've received:
"There's a saying 'Give a man a fish, feed him for a day. Teach a man to fish, feed him for a lifetime.' That's exactly what my friend did in 1990. He taught me how to use BIAB and I've used it hundreds of time to do arraignment and to jam with any style band."
"Love BIAB. I use it daily. Their support is great too!"
"RealTracks are amazing!!! I use BIAB for backtracks in my solo act... Still using the basic package and it's all need..."
"I have used Band in A Box for many years. If it would have been around when I was young, I would have been a much better musician. I use it for all my songs I have written and recorded. With Band In A Box I can sit in my room and sound like a whole band without having to put up with them!"
"If you know something about music and take the time to learn the program, you can make it do some amazing things. It is a great help to songwriters who want to demo their song without paying for studio time. It makes changes and tweaks much easier as well."
"Been using it for so many years. It's a great tool. The instruments that I don't have or play make up the void and it saves so much time. I use this program for every song I write."
"Great tool for the songwriter!"
"An essential part of my studio! I write songs on piano, but I'm not a pianist by a long way. BIAB is like having a roomful of session players in your studio, and just the simple act of taking your basic idea and hearing a skilled pianist play it presents so many new ideas and options you hadn't thought of."
"Powerful, easy to use, inexpensive and they even split the modest payments up if you want. No complaints. Lots of satisfaction."
"I added a steel guitar to a fully produced original. He followed every change like he was in the studio reading the chart. Fascinating technology!"
"I have used it to make backing tracks for six CD's with about 12 songs on each. They make a great gift!"
"It's simply a necessity - buy it now - the staff and support do a great job as well!"
"A great tool for us songwriters!"
"I LOVE Band-in-a-Box!"
"I see it as a very worthwhile investment. In fact, from initial purchase about 8 years ago, using the backing tracks I have made, my income from that investment has returned over 5,000% on the investment!"
continued...
Do you have something to say about Band-in-a-Box®? Post your own thoughts for Windows or Mac version today!
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."
