I was gonna mention, individual things I enjoyed about the song. But I then realized would simple have to link back to the song because everything is near=perfect. Kind of moody, like so many Dire Straits songs as Chris' vocal bring outs that mysterious and captivating vibe of Sade's fabulous vocals.

The drums and that Godin simply shine. And the bass lays the foundation for everything else and does it so well.

Great song and presentation. Excellent!!!

Alan


Really appreciate that, Alan, thanks!

Chris' vocal is sublime with such a light delicate feel.
The scats are most cool. Nice harmony.

The drums and whoever that bass guy is work together wonderfully.

And perfecto guitar chops for the vibe.

This is a great addition to a mighty fine catalog!

Yeah ... we enjoyed it,

J&B



Yeah that bass guy is not too shabby! wink

Thanks, guys!

When the song started playing I had to think of Santana, Oye Como Va. Same vibe there.
Than you went on your way making that lovely laid back song.
The drums are the only ones 'noisemakers' with a smacking beat once in a while (if you understand what I'm saying here).

You never disappoint me with your songs and you know that.
I always enjoy Chris's vocals. They stay on the same high quality as years back! Admire that and love them. You can tell her!

Have a nice day,
Hans



Good to see you here, Hans, thanks for the listen and comments!

Chris's vocal sounds really good.

I think somebody might have already said it, but this recording sounds pro all the way: the guitar, bass, vocal, and mix. Good songwriting too.


Thanks for the listen and the comment on the mix!

just the right song after the coldest May for decades over here...

Nice tune, it rolls like the waves (ha).

Chris, your vocal is always great (nice BGV, too, Dave!). Good choice of RTs and BEAUTIFUL work on the guitar..

Marty, could a bass line be any more solid? NO !

Stay safe, y'all,

Stefan


I wasn't sure about the BGV so thanks for mentioning that. Good to see you back here, Stefan!

Snare is a wee bit loud for my ears but no biggie. Nice cheerful easy listening song .You guys and gal have a chemistry happening which creates an attractive unique sound .
. Kudos
Gary.


Thanks, Gary!

This is fabulous.

It transitions from a pure Santana intro into the song song that Fleetwood Mac never wrote.

I've said before that Chris can sound very like Christine McVie (or Christine Perfect as we used to know her)
and this is a beautiful vocal performance.

A terrific backing track with excellent work by Marty, underpinning the whole thing.

Wonderful guitar from Dave, who never disappoints - cool sound from that Godin.

Loved it.

ROG.


Great review, thanks ROG!

My regards to you all,

Deej


A few people have mentioned the Knopfler thing. I listened to Dire Straits a lot back in the day, one of my favorite bands. Thanks, Deej!

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
Saturday, March 30: 8-4
