My Walking Shoes A bluesy number about walking away the blues, featuring Janice Merritt on lead and backing vocals. Leon wrote the lyric and I played the guitar parts. Bud recorded Janice and mastered the track. RealTracks in song: 2734:Organ, Rhythm BluesSlow128Mike Sw 065 RealTracks in song: ~1136:Bass, Acoustic-Guitar, FolkSwing Sw 110 RealDrums in Song:JazzRideLewis^01-a:Brushes, Snare , b:Side Stick, Toms and Ride RealDrums in style:BluesRockShuffle^2-a:Snare, HiHat , b:Snare, Ride Kontakt Horn section My Walking ShoesI don’t need to lay down on your couch Don’t need no dojo, kick and shout Don’t need to buy more stuff, try to fill this hole Mountains of sugar won’t satisfy my soul Just need my walking shoes, walk away my blues Just need my walking shoes to chase my blues away It’s not hard to feel down in the mouth Riddled with uncertainty and doubt Don’t need to be a genius to know the world’s in trouble In my darkest dreams I see us picking through the rubble I need my walking shoes, walk away my blues Just need my walking shoes to chase these blues away This world is beautiful, so full of wonder Too many only see the riches they can plunder I don’t like to think about tomorrow I fear there is a prospect of more sorrow I’m waiting for a hint, a clue, a sign the tide is turning From where I stand right now, everything is burning I need my walking shoes, walk away my blues Just need my walking shoes to chase these blues away Darling let me lay down by your side I have a little secret to confide As long as we’re together I’ll still try In spite of all this madness, it’s alright Just need my walking shoes, walk away my blues Just need my walking shoes to chase these blues away I need my walking shoes, walk away my blues Just need my walking shoes to chase these blues away

Peter, Leon, Janice & Bud,
Excellent song!
Love the intro with the brushes and gradual build. Nice big guitar solo and outdo - Peter, your guitar tones are tight & raunchy. So good!
Janice sounds otherworldly. Such a strong, clear & nuanced performance. Completely in command.
Love the production. The whole song just jumps out of the speakers with an immense amount of swagger.
AWESOME!
Bob

The Bass, Drums and Organ are the perfect combination.
A good write. The world has gone to hellinahandbasket, but Love conquers all.
Stunning vocals and BGVs. Oozes emotion.
Nice solo. Cool tone - 70's-ish. Nice outro!
Excellent mix.
Good album cover!

Bob I so loved this song from the moment I heard it. That makes your comment very special. And I have to mention the inspiration from Peter’s guitar. Janice

Great work by all involved, starting with your guitar, followed by Janice vocals and perfectly presented by Bud.
There is nothing not to love.
Maybe a small nit: the horns sound a bit too clean and well produced for a blues. Doesn't has Kontakt any rusty horns to offer?

Glory be! When I first heard the bass opening I was thinking of Bud. What a wonderful song. Very interesting bridge, and, man, that solo is superb. Love the creeping blues feel with a sultry swing. Janice, no one does it better, and what terrific harmony ideas and execution. Dang, those horns with that ripping guitar are outstanding. Perfect lyrics, Leon. GREAT SONG, PETER!

Excellent lyrics flow naturally, and Janice's vocal make the words fly through the air so smoothly and with ease.
That bass is really walking the blues away.
I really like the jazzy verses, interesting chord progression and the bass/organ combination brings enjoyable depth.
Many nice surprising changes during the song, the bridge part is little bit pop and then the guitar starts its heavy solo. And the horns bring soul in the end.
Very interesting and professional sounding package.
Janne

What struck me 1st was just how RIGHT the placement & level of the vocal are in this dynamic setting.
The segue from vocal to 1st solo also stuck with me.
The more rambunctious solo & horn section was a treat too.
Everything works like it was ought and even better.
Cheers

Cool write, great groove, and I really like the arrangement.
Janice sounds fabulous, especially like the chorus.
You are sounding good as you always do, Peter!
Very cool outro!
Excellent!

Peter & Team, This is VERY good! 3 spins, still sounds fresh  First impression, it was a seasoned well known cover, the one that I didn't hear before for some reason. Got all the components of a hit song. Excellent set of lyrics and stellar performance by Janice. ACE guitars. Peter, you should be proud of this one. Congrats to everyone involved! Enjoyed it very much, and thank you for sharing. Misha.

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."
