Soul Searchin' This song ended up being a co-write between Marty and Chris. I developed the initial song idea and sent the bed to Chris, who then developed the melody and added a couple of lines. Marty then came in and wrote the rest. The band:RealTracks in song: 3245:Guitar, Electric, Rhythm FunkyBluesSol ev16 090 Chris Spruit: Piano, vocal, BGV Marty Straub: Bass, BGV Dave Bell: Guitars, BGV I used EZDrummer2 to build the drum track. Mixed in Reaper, mastered with Ozone9. Soul Searchin' (2021, Marty Straub & Chris Spruit)Minnows swim to the other side of the pond outside where they came alive I'm waiting for the light to come and you know that you gotta go on I wave goodbye to the Summer light shine on my soul into what I'll find And I don't know what's goin' on. I don't know what's goin' on.
CHORUS: Soul searchin'. Lookin' for the answers. And I'm soul searchin', but nothin' yet.
Something stirs in the swirling wind and there's movement in my mind inside I listen for the voice to guide but you know that it never comes Hot pursuit of the hidden truth and there's nothing to be lost in youth Still I don't know what's goin' on I don't know what's goin' on
BRIDGE: Now. Now I gotta know Now. Now I gotta know what I'm gonna find when I look inside. Gonna change my mind when I know I lied? Gotta know. Yeah, I gotta know.All comments welcome!

Hi Chris, Marty and Dave,
Wow, we need a clean up on isle 5, there's soul oozing all over the place over here! And when you're finished you can take a funky break. The vocals and the playing are top notch on this tune. Thanks for posting, I enjoyed the listen.

'Blue Attitude', Mr. Straub, and Ms. Spruitt... This here 'funky blues' number you folks cooked-up is packed with so much soul that I think the title of the song, 'Soul Searchin', does you a disservice: you don't have to 'search' for it -- you've found it, already, and you're slinging it around like musical whips. Ooo, but it hurts so-o-o good, !!!

Great funky blues crackling with musical energy. Terrific guitar throughout, and the vocals, as always, are stellar. Well done!

Dave, you really wring that guitar until it rings.
Cool song - nice drive to it - that part walking part jumpin' bass really holds down the bottom end.
Chris' playing and singing are on point.
Terrific collaboration - you three drop into your parts like you've been at it since forever.

That bass and drums are working so well, great groove. Nice snare! That whole kit sounds great, which kit is it?
The lyrics, it's cool when the song could mean something different to every listener.
Vocals sound great.
"I used EZDrummer2 to build the drum track."
"Build", that's a good word to describe it, better than programed or sequenced. I've been looking for that word,thanks.

Hi Dave & Team,
This is a beauty!
All sounds great and particularly liked the choruses and the refrains.
Also - top guitar playing.
Only minor suggestion is to look at the verses - especially the first two where there may be too many words - it's a touch crowded.
Excellent - well done all of you.
Best Regards Nigel

Interesting lyrics, bit mystery and bit despair, nicely the swimming and swirling turn into movements of mind. Great vocals once again and I enjoyed the backing vocals in the chorus. Dave's guitar is alive and burning, nice riffs and solos. Marty's bass feels like gentle touches on the bare skin. Very relaxed work, a pleasure to listen to.

AWESOME!
Love this - such a great track with driving vocals by Chris. Blistering guitar and a robust bass line - they are all present here.
EXCELLENT!

Hi Dave, Chris and Marty,
You did it again! I really can't remember if you ever made an 'average' song. This one is also top! I enjoyed the song itself (Soul), but your guitarplay is really very very good! And of course so Chris with her beautiful voice and Marty on his magic bass!
Nice to read how this song finally saw the light. So now you have 3 writers for your songs. Had to look up what a minnow is. Now I know.
These EZ drums sound very good, by the way.
Tell the other two I loved the song! Hans

Excellent, great vocal, loved the harmony parts.
As always beautifully played guitar - really nice melodic stuff.
Marty's bass was accomplished.
You are getting to be a bit of a master at composing those drums, nicely done.

Hi Dave,
I listen to your song again, the day after ;-) At first I tried your side that I had saved on my browser, but that didn't work. So here I'm again. And I have a feeling you have slightly improved the song and the vocals, or not? If not, than the song is sounding even better than yesterday (almost not possible). It's like pasta. Taste better the next day, warmed up. A geat song, I want to say again (now listening to Cry a river)

Terrific collaboration - you three drop into your parts like you've been at it since forever. Chris and I have been working together since 2015, and have done more than 60 songs together. And when Marty joined up a couple of years ago he fit in so perfectly it seems like he has always been a part of our little group. Thanks very much, Ray, you made my day with those comments

BA team, Excellent collaboration. Very "live" and natural feel on this tune. From structure to performance, a very rounded song. Mixed very well. Enjoyed it! Probably the best tune this year from Blue Attitude. Thank you for sharing. Misha.

Dave, Chris, Marty...
Everything about this screams "Classic".
The mix is so good it's hard to pick any one part to talk about. SO cohesive. OOOh, that buttery bass!! Drums sound good. Killer guitar throughout. Wonderful vocals and BGVs. Nice keys.
This sounds like it came off one of the classic albums that we spent our entire lives listening to.
Classic. Killer.

Thanks to all for listening and commenting. I love this song, and working with these 2 gifted & talent musicians is such a treat. Really love reading all of the comments. A note for Nigel (Hey, wait. That's a good title: A Note For Nigel.) about the jam-packed lyrics. We all talked about that, but didn't change it. When Chris was working out the melody she sent us a quick track with some cool scatting. There were some actual words scattered in there, so I used them. Keep in mind that wonderful German accent in her beautiful voice, and how it's easier to scat than to sing words --especially in a foreign language. The plethora of words seemed to fit the urgency of the soul searching, and Chris stormed through them like a trooper. So, yeah, you're right, Nigel.

This is an awesome total package.
We love Chris's sassy lead vocal (and her piano) and the background vocal variations. No surprise that Dave's soaring guitar is outstanding or that Marty's bass lines most excellently glue it all together. Nice work on those drums too.
The fine write and edge of funkiness make for a heckuva enjoyable listen!
Way to go, y'all!

best/happiness/respect. om This is the first time you have checked out one of our songs I think. Thanks very much, happy you liked it! (mix is done at this point, already sent out to Spotify etc., but I'll check and see what I'm doing as far as compression goes on the snare on the next song we do) This is a really cool song. Great write, performance and top notch production. You guys have it all together.

Y'all rocked the rhythm, barbecued up the blues, and sauced it with soul to cook up what I think is probably your best yet. It was the kind of song that made me sing along with the background singers before it was over. You know he kind--just that groovy. Hugely enjoyed.

Wow what a killer sound you folks have put together here Dave! Chris's vocals are smokin! Everytime I try to put a bluesy lick in one of my tunes I'm just trying to be like Dave lol! Marty's bass work is so good it would be a step back to try to use realtracks for the bass! Great job, Torrey Thanks, Torrey! And man, when it comes to guitar you don't need lessons from me, that's for sure! Hello great song I especially like the guitar solo Great guitar sound Makes real fun Many greetings Andi ;-) Thanks for the listen, Andi!

Not sure it's our best, certainly right up there though. Thanks, Tangmo!

See.... That's what happens when you're away working on the tractor and cutting wood and just being busy with life on the farm.... You miss gems like this.
Really nice. Loved everything about it from that "buttery bass" as Floyd put it to the smoldering guitar tone, to the writing.
You guys have chemistry. Don't lose it.
You can find my music at: www.herbhartley.comAdd nothing that adds nothing to the music. You can make excuses or you can make progress but not both. The magic you are looking for is in the work you are avoiding.

You guys have chemistry. Don't lose it. I find it very hard to keep up with new posts these days, just about impossible to keep up unless you log in at least once a day. Thanks, Herb, appreciate it! We are still having fun, and at the end of the day that's what matters most I think.

Late to the party but glad I finally caught this one. Excellent write. Love the vocal (always love Chris' singing) and the playing is exemplary all round. You folks never fail to deliver the goods. Regards, Leon

WOW! I'm so glad I got to hear this.
I'm very late to the party but super glad I made it.
This is pro all the way and should be on the air today!
Loved it
Me, it's not about how many times you fail, it's about how many times you get back up. Cop, that's not how field sobriety tests work.

I like all the guitar bits, but I especially like the bit after the first chorus. And the solo at 2:45 is awesome.
Great vocals.
The rhythm section has a slinky groove going.
I enjoyed this one very much.

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."
