Hi all,
Here's a french blues for young children.
I've composed it 30 years ago.
And I've re-arranged it with Band-in-a-Box.
Philippe Janin is singing.

https://soundcloud.com/christian-devienne/le-blues-de-la-camionnette

Here's an approximate translation :

I was driving too fast in my van
That's what the cops keep telling me
This will never happen to you on your scooter

I punctured a tire of my van
Without my spare wheel I look rather stupid
This will never happen to you on your scooter

I’ve no more gas in my van
I'm going to break down, so I'm worried
This will never happen to you on your scooter

I lost the keys to my van
Soon I'll totally lose my mind
This will never happen to you on your scooter

Christian,

I really liked the sound of this one. Thanks for posting the words in English because I don't understand French well at all. Nice vocal, and I really liked the BGV's on it. The bass seemed a little muddy to me, but I'm no expert. Somebody like Marty "BabuMusic" would know much better than I. Good start to the new year!

I find it amazing how well your French lyrics work in genres that are anything but French. Good job.

Mix-wise almost everything is in the middle, I would place some instruments left/right to give the vocals a bit more room to breathe.

Thanks Brad and B.D.Thomas,
I've lost the mix with all the tracks of my instrumental.
I've no more just one track for the instrumental.
So, I do what I can!
Here's another try for the mix...

Really cool blues tune...I love the vocals...to what B.D. was addressing, if you have a stereo expander in your DAW"s software package it can widen the audio's stance and fatten the stage (so to speak)...at any rate really nice sound and song!

Chris, I love the blues and you more than did blues justice with this one.

Fantastic vocal.

I personally liked the mix.


When you are at the checkout line and they ask if you found everything say "Why, are you hiding stuff?"
