Man, that guy Ken can sure play guitar! Biggest takeaway I had. Everything else was good as well. The song reminded me of Ride Like the Wind by Christopher Cross. Nice work.

chulaivet,

Like the tune a lot—“I’m a roadman running” is a nice hook; really resonates. Nice harmonies as well, particularly on the “And I am told”. What you call a chorus, I would refer to more as a bridge, but six in one hand, half dozen the other. The mix is solid—really like the lead guitar and those descending riffs throughout. Nice work on this one!

All my best,

Deej

Ha....oh yes, a few come to pea brain now that you mention it.
I'll certainly try to keep my distance from that critical perception. smile

Thanks again....and for the chuckle.

Tunemonger....Howdy.

I liked that Chris Cross tune.
When it came out long ago (IIRC 1980 or so) I wanted to learn it and bought the sheet music.
Not much to do on that for a rhythm guitar player like myself though. smile
Hence, I moved on to more active songs to learn.
Yep....Ken is a great guitar player and am fortunate he like the songs well enough to be a part of.

Deej56....Howdy to you too.

Yes...your comment is valid regarding it being 'bridge' of sorts also.
On my original lyrics sheet I have it described as a 'pre-hook' which I forgot to format it the same way on the original post....both work for me....good catch on that.
That 'descending riff' was only at the intro when he sent me his tracks.
I felt they should be repeated periodically as a riff hook so I took those bits and added them in the other places.

Thank you both for taking the time to listen and favorable comments.
I appreciate them all.

Have a great day gents.

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."
