Now that's a toe-tapping, fun, rollicking number! I enjoyed this. Back to basics sounds good.

Great stuff - hear all the influences (Lay Down Sally, J J Cale & I'll add Jim Byfield).

A really nice listen and extremely well played.

I close my eyes and I can picture the combination of Waylon, Kris, Johnny, and Merle singing this, and even throw in a little Hank Jr. Well done!!

Hi Leon,
Singing along is a great complement, thank you.
Many thanks too for the listen and review.
Cheers,

Might have been interesting to do an outro with the singer repeating the title phrase—just a thought.

Excellent tune as is!

All my best,

Deej

Hi Deej,
Maybe I should point out that the "infectious drum" isn't any thing to do with Covid-19. eek
I like the suggestion for the ending - an opportunity missed I'm afraid.
Many thanks for looking in and the positive comments.
Cheers,

Great vocal and playing. Period.

And hey it's a 12 bar...yeah.

Not gonna parse this out ... just diggin' the live band feel and had rather listen more.

Nice 10th year anniversary indeed!

J&B

Hi there J&B,
I'm a long-time JJ Cale fan and remember being so impressed by his album "5" which I wore out and had to buy on again on CD.
I'm humbled at the comparison and many thanks for that and the kind review.
Cheers,
ROG.

Hi All,

Many thanks to all those who've suggested the many influences that have been
brought to bear on this track - I'm flattered and humbled to be mentioned in
the same sentence as all those. There is one lesser known musician though, who
has always influenced my playing and that is Robert Higgenbothom.
No it's not a joke and he's better known under his performing name of Tommy Tucker
who wrote and recorded the classic High-Heel Sneakers. I love most of his work, but
one of my favourites is Sitting Home Alone.
Click the title to hear it on YouTube - if you liked my track, then you'll maybe like Robert Higgenbothom
as much as I do.

Many thanks again to you all.
Cheers,
ROG.

Lead guitar style was a like like Fogerty's. There's some really good music to be made with just "the basics". I played in a four-piece group for a number of years and the basics covered a lot of ground.

As always, your mix was spot-on. Very nice listen, indeed!

Wishing you the very best ...

Alan

Hi Alan,

You're very kind with all your comments.
I enjoyed keeping the track count down and getting back to basics. With fewer instruments running, it's
easier to concentrate on getting the rhythms to work together, creating the "groove".

Glad you liked it and many thanks for the listen and review - much appreciated.
Take care and the best to you and Di.

ROG,

This sounds great! Everything "pops".

Great drum sound and a nice punchy bass. Terrific guitar work. And good vocals.

Excellent mix.

Much enjoyed!

Hi Rog
Nice clean guitars and the bass really pumps . Sounds like a mixture of the Stones and Dire Straits ,two of my favs so I had to like this . Not a fan of fade outs but that doesn't distract from the high quality of this song. I am also a 20+ year user of Powertracks and as you say ; "it's great for getting back to basics" and the great sound you achieved is testament to that.
"Maybe she lost her sat-nav signal and can't find her way back home"
LOL reminds me of my better 'alf who can't read a road map!
Fun song , well played and recorded and a pleasurable listen.

ps sorry for the late comment. Been awol like your lady.
cheers
Gary.

Hi Gary,
I like the Stones and Straits references - two of my favs as well!
I started using Powertracks because the first time I booted it, I found I knew how to work it. Couldn't
say that for any of the others. When you really get into the detail, it has more editing and mixing
power than most of the established front runners. It really is the "hidden secret" of DAWS.
Anyway, many thanks for the listen and review.
Cheers,
ROG.

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...

2024 is well underway - it's already Easter Weekend!

Our Customer Service hours this weekend are:

Friday, March 29: 8-4
