We got the band back together again for a cover from Bob Dylan's Blood on the Tracks Album - 1974 (... tell the truth if you never heard this piece) . But you have to know Miley, right?
Nope, I have never heard that one before, but this version is really good!
Super vocal and mix.
Steve did a great job on the bass.
I really enjoyed this.
You two should be more collaborations.
Mario, in 1974 when this released I had this album on auto-repeat on the turntable. Bobby was singing my truth. Thanks for kind words, glad you liked it and I am so happy to share it.
Steve and I are talking about expanding our horizons and pushing our boundries on a follow up project.

I never heard of this one either until Dan approached me a few days ago. I'd say his ice shanty and set of pipes are running on all cylinders!
And thanks for the kind words . . . could be my first song with no sour notes
https://soundcloud.com/user-646279677 BiaB 2024 Windows For me there’s no better place in the band than to have one leg in the harmony world and the other in the percussive. Thank you Paul Tutmarc and Leo Fender.
There's something slightly odd ad the end of "the refrain": You have chords for five bars posted but nine or ten bars play & there's some change at the end that doesn't quite come off. Could it be that there's confusion over the F#sus as to whether it's 2 (F# G# C#) or 4 (F# B C#)? Otherwise it cool, good fun and nicely mixed.

Ya could be a bit off - it was a challenge for me. I did the BIAB chord chart mostly by ear since Mileys Chords differed a bit from Bob's original. On top of that the BIAB version was only done Quick/dirty so it is not a "finished" version. I can say in my case much was done by ear.
I can tell you that Miley sings this with a heavy emphasis on the B Melodic Minor scale (i.e., Flat 3rd) since she interchanges the natural D and the D# freely. I tried to do the same.
Thanks for the input.
Here is what was available for Bob's original over the refrain/chorus:
I listened with focus to the refrains after seeing Ray's comments. So what I hear is the bass doesn't resolve to the proper place in a timely manner on REALIZE in the first refrain. Everything else in there sounds fairly good on the first refrain. However, in the second refrain.... your vocal melody clashes with the chords and goes off the rails at.... You're gonna make me... which is the halfway point in the second refrain.
Shouldn't both of the refrains be the same melody wise and chord wise?
You need to work out a fix for the refrains.

The magic you are looking for is in the work you are avoiding.
Great feedback, we are considering sending this back to the band to reconcile these discrepancies. And yes, for me the refrains were the most difficult to fully articulate and reproduce and I can hear vocal imperfections related to pharsing and timing.

One way to work through this is to put the melody of the verses and the refrains, or choruses down in a fixed format such as playing it on a piano keyboard. Lay that over the music in it's own track so that it fits. You can then mute it or let it play as needed. NOW.... sing the proper lyric for the verses and choruses along with the melody line. Since it is "fixed" in place and is the same for each verse/chorus/refrain, it will keep you singing the right melody and in the right timing or phrasing. You will quickly see where you're going off the rails. You can then either fix the lyrics or the melody that you're singing to match what you should be singing.
I had a co-writer some time back who was a nit picker about the number of syllables in a line. It had to be consistent in each of the verses and follow the same pattern for each. Counting syllables is a quick, easy way to see if you're even in the ballpark before you go to the trouble of playing the melody into a track. Often, the syllable count will point you directly to the problem each time. One tiny syllable difference, can easily throw the entire thing out of whack and often does.
Hope that helps you get it on track.

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."
