You will have to pardon me for not having heard the original. I am from 65.

But I can hear that this is an excellent production, and you have the voice for it.

Also, that Sax 2017 RT is wonderfully produced and mastered.

Nigel, I knew this was an old song, but I'd only heard Hank Jr.'s version before. This song is right up your alley, as if it should have been written for you. Great job on it. I especially liked the way you sang out the ending. It was a fun listen.

Nigel, you absolutely nailed this one.

Outstanding sax and vocal

Super mix

This as good as this song can get IMHO

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.

You rock, Nigel. What a wonderful rendition. Heard so many versions and this one soars to share the top. I like the feel you gave it, and of course your vocal takes it to that next level. Love that 420 bass, and that sax.


Enjoy whatever happens!

Hey Nigel ...

Love this old swing tunes. You absolutely nailed it. You have the perfect voice for it. Nothing but great sounds here.

Asa I listened, I was thinking another great from the past who would have done a great cover on this is Louie Armstrong. But, that said, your version is simply great! Always enjoy your work.

Nigel,

An excellent rendition.

I really like your vocal.
Super Cool Bass!
Nice sax, a just-right piano.

Excellent mix - very "present". Everything sounds good and the vocal shines.

Well done.

Yeah!

I've heard this song many times over the years by many people, played it in a band myself back in the day.

You nailed it I think, Nigel, excellent vocal and your band is right on the money.

Great!

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."
