Nigel,

Excellent.

Great use of BIAB. Terrific mix.

Good vocal and BGVs. Tasty licks from the dobro. Bass is nice and punchy.

Really enjoyed the listen. Very well done.

Midnight Special as sung by Antoine Domino Jr.
This version has that almost talk/acting vocal style that Fats often employed with different degrees of success.
It can make the song seem more personal and connected to the listener.
I like the almost country blues of this one.


Cheers

Wow Nigel, you did some research on that song!
I only think you forgot to mention one other musician; Nigel Spiers...

Who can't love this song?

Surprisingly not mentioned is the first version I heard by Johnny Rivers in 1964 when I was in high school. As I recall it was a major hit.

Nice mellow interpretation.

Hi Janice and Bud,

Yeah he did a version but not my favourite. The one that really grabs me is (of all people) Bobby Darin:

For pure showmanship and feel this is my #1

Have a listen.

Best Regards

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!

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."
