Below are three links to some of the best recordings you've never heard.

The California Raisins were a fictional rhythm and blues animated musical group as well as advertising and merchandising characters composed of anthropomorphized raisins. Lead vocals were sung by musician Buddy Miles. The California Raisins were popular in the mid-to-late 1980s through claymation TV commercials and animated specials, winning an Emmy Award and one nomination.


+++ Sweet, Delicious & Marvelous +++

+++ Sing The Hit Songs +++

+++ Christmas With The California Raisins +++

The nice thing about these is the songs featured in all three playlists include performer and production credits.

Blast from the past. Thank you so much.


Hearing Buddy Miles voice takes me Back to Hendrix's Band of Gypsy's and "Them Changes". Over 50 years ago that record came out.

His work with Carlos Santana was also excellent.

I can't say I've had any prior knowledge of these particular Californians, however from the material I have listened to, Buddy Miles has delivered the goods.

Great.

1987 I was stuck in Anaheim, California from the Sunday before (American) Thanksgiving to Christmas Eve. One Sunday I attended my first, and only, (American) football game. Once I arrived I found out the stadium has a free industrial museum.

The museum had four animatronic stop motion figures used to create the California Raisins commercials. The museum also had an earthquake room simulator and a McDonald's food preparation area behind glass.

I remember the first time I heard them singing I Heard It Through the Grapevine, I about fell over laughing! That visual was priceless. Still makes me laugh.

Such a fantastic band. Thank you for the links!!

The Band-in-a-Box® Flash Drive Backup Option

Today (April 5) is National Flash Drive Day!

Did you know... not only can you download your Band-in-a-Box® Pro, MegaPAK, or PlusPAK purchase - you can also choose to add a flash drive backup copy with the installation files for only $15? It even comes with a Band-in-a-Box® keychain!

For the larger Band-in-a-Box® packages (UltraPAK, UltraPAK+, Audiophile Edition), the hard drive backup copy is available for only $25. This will include a preinstalled and ready to use program, along with your installation files.

Backup copies are offered during the checkout process on our website.

Already purchased your e-delivery version, and now you wish you had a backup copy? It's not too late! If your purchase was for the current version of Band-in-a-Box®, you can still reach out to our team directly to place your backup copy order!

Note: the Band-in-a-Box® keychain is only included with flash drive backup copies, and cannot be purchased separately.

Handy flash drive tip: Always try plugging in a USB device the wrong way first? If your flash drive (or other USB plug) doesn't have a symbol to indicate which way is up, look for the side with a seam on the metal connector (it only has a line across one side) - that's the side that either faces down or to the left, depending on your port placement.

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."
