So Many Roads This is another co-write with my wife, Kathy. Marty Straub (BabuMusic) is on the bass guitar and Christiane (Chris) Spruit did the vocals.

I used EZDrummer3 for the drums and percussion. Mixed in Reaper, mastered with Ozone. So Many Roads (2022, Dave and Kathy Bell) So many roads, that you can take so many choices, that you can make Move down a new road, is this the way To make a life, for love to stay So many roads, that you can take
so little time, so much to see If you're gonna to do it right, you gotta find the key How far down the road till I suddenly wake and wonder what I have become for your sake so little time, so much to see
Mistakes were made, more wrong roads than right you gotta travel down the road sometimes, to find the light
So many roads, that you can take so many choices, that you can make At the end of the day, you gotta pay your dues and that is why , I play the blues So many roads, that you can takeAll Comments welcome!

Howdy Blue....
I like this one.
Clean vox, well recorded and cool axe tone and good lead lines. It has a haunting, appealing vibe. Harmonies are a bit subtle in the mix but they work fine.
Good job by all.
Have a good one....

Dave and team,
It's been a while since I have heard from you, but you came back in a powerful way! This track is awesome in EVERY way! Everything sounds tight and flows beautifully! I love that soft rhythm texture you have going on the guitar and the lead work is some of your best, I think! Marty and Chris's work once again is professional level! Great tune!
Thanks, Torrey

What can I say? Absolutely great, vocals, guitar, bass, drums and keyboard (and lyrics). Just a preference thing; I was hoping for another superb guitar solo in the outro. Six minutes of this would not be too long.
Well done everyone.

Thoroughly enjoyable! Indeed a nice and tight overall sound.
Excellent bass, good vocals (I particularly liked the harmony sections), and then of course the powerful solo!

Dave...this was like turning on a soft rock radio station and hearing a great song...it is so tight and professional sounding...first off a great recording begins with a great write...you and Kathy did a stellar job...Chris has such a beautiful clear voice and when the harmonies come in...well...I'm completely hooked at that point...Marty is ...well...Marty! and your lead work is (as usual) some of the best I've heard...this is a killer song and recording...well done all!

Nice song.... it has a Long Road out of Eden Eagles groove to it.
Tasty guitar solo.

Cool sound! Man you've got a good team to work with, from writing to the final mix. Everyone fits together so well, and it really sounds smooth. Loved it all. Your lead guitar fit in with that haunting groove perfectly. I like it the way it is, but I guess I'm greedy, because I too would have loved to hear it go on longer with a guitar outro. Well done!

I'm normally not a fan of a clicky kick but it works when playing along with Marty's bass. Cool song...everything works and the lead tone is fabulous. Well done bell, bell, spruit & straub.

Thanks for checking out the song and the positive feedback! Dave and team,

Thanks, Torrey Hi Torrey, That solo was just a one take improv designed to be a placeholder so that Marty and Chris would know where the solo went when I sent them the demo. But they both liked it so I kept it, sometimes best when you don't over think things I guess Thanks for your support over the years, very much appreciated!

Ah, thanks, Dave... and Kathy. You guys are writing winners. Please never stop. Thanks to those appreciating my small contribution, and I too would like a 6-minute outro. Oh, wait, that's not what was said exactly. My favorite quote here so far is from Ray: "bell, bell, spruit & straub" has a good ring to it.

Y'all are in top form here.
A good song. Really like the bridge. Chris does her usual excellent vocal. The harmonies are exceptional. Marty does his usual. Buttery AND punchy. Nice that you and Kathy write together! Some of your best guitar work ever. Love the tone. Love the solo!
(I thought the drums needed more reverb)
A Great Listen.

I really liked that solo. Wow. I had to "rewind the tape" to go back and have another listen to it. Just cool. That's all the vocabulary I have for it.
Vocal is beautiful.
The song has the road journey quality to it.
Enjoyed it much!

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."
