THIS OLD TOWN A song about lost love and regret! A big shoutout to Greg Johnson for reminding my about the Backpack Cajon 8 Folk Trio set! I wanted a James Taylor type sound for this song and that is a great set to get things rolling! Ron Helm assisted in the writing here! Thanks for listening, I always appreciate it!

Hi, Torrey.
This sounds great.
And despite your protests about your vocals, they sound good to me. Loving the harmonies!
Nice work by you and Ron on the lyrics.

Hi Torrey,
I agree completely with David. Everything sounds near-perfect to my old ears. I'll reiterate what David said - "Loving the harmonies"!
Sounds like early to mid-70s JT. (Back when he still had hair!).
Great song - great listen.
Best to you,
Alan

Sensational vocal <-- those are two words synonymous with Torrey Bliss. Great harmony are two more. Excellent write. Very much enjoyed, Torrey. Love your style and execution.

Torrey,
This is a beautiful song... The production is excellent and it sounds like a record. So well done.
Your vocal is awesome and feels to me like it has a touch of J. D. Souther - a very good thing.
Loved everything about this.
Bob

Torrey...man this is so mellow and very James Taylorish (which is super IMHO)...I agree with Bob wholeheartedly...for those of us who grew up in small towns the lyric evokes lasting memories of familiar faces and lost loves...as usual you've produced a stellar piece of music...well written...well sung...well performed...and well received (that's my part)...I think we're a great team!

Nice work by you and Ron on the lyrics. Thanks, David, for your comments! It's just frustrating when I can't sing certain lines with ease like I normally would but have to settle for something sub-par! TB

Stop complaining about your vocals, it would take more than "some touch up" to get my vocals there!
I love it, especially your harmonies are ace!

Torrey, fabulous write and production! Sensational vocals, too. Those BGVs and harmonies are like a masterclass in vocal arrangement though. Really next level stuff. Love it!

Coming from a small town I can relate to this song. I disagree with your vocal statement in your original post as I think your vocal is great. Super harmonies. Great groove. I really liked your chord progression. I think this is our best to date!

Lovely song. It reminds me of a poem I wrote in the 70s after returning to my hometown for the first time after a few years away. Decades later and I now live just down the road from it. As in the song, "So much has changed it's just not the same" and "Old friends have passed on". And yes re my first rue love way back in 1969, "… you’re still in my heart / Oh you're still in my soul". Impossible to not relate to. ... PS: great vocals.
Some favourite Waoist Adages: #1: Play on the Way. #17: Ask not for whom the flower blooms, it blooms for you. #69: Bring consciousness to it. #74: On the road to effortlessness, effort must be made. #105: Be Love Now, the rest will come on its own.

Very cool stuff. This is reminiscent of the soft rock from the 80s. The Chris Rae song Fool if you think it's over ..... Especially the harmony parts was brought to mind as I was listening.
Nice

Hi Torrey. Nicely done with the mix, tracks and vocals. If you don't mind a suggestion, I would cut the unnecessary lyrics to give more room for the music. For instance, "Tonight I'm back here in this old town It's the place I left behind years ago", could be "Tonight I'm back here in this old town. The place I left behind years ago". There are other lines that would give you breathing space with small cuts too.

This beautiful song is melancholy and yet comforting too.
Like James Taylor, your voice is smooth and sounds effortless. And your layered harmonies always remind us of the Beatles.
Great performances by you and the session guys.
The mix sounds good on the KRK’s with a nice live band feel.
Enjoyed it!

This beautiful song is melancholy and yet comforting too.
Like James Taylor, your voice is smooth and sounds effortless. And your layered harmonies always remind us of the Beatles.
Great performances by you and the session guys.
The mix sounds good on the KRK’s with a nice live band feel.
Enjoyed it!
J&B Thanks J&B so much for your kind words! It's always appreciated! TB

Nostalgic and bit sad in the end, yet enjoyably emotional. I can hear The Eagles there, the folky band sounds excellent, very smooth and takes me back in time, although I'm yet to return to my old town for a longer visit.
Very pleasant vocals and harmonies, "like a leaf blown with the wind", that's the exact feel I heard in your voice.

Good work Torey. We particularly like the smooth blending of the harmony vocals in the chorus. The song also has a gentle "New Kid in Town" feel. That's a good thing because "New Kid in Town" is one of our all-time favourites. So it's really easy to like your song Rob and Anne-Marie

I definitely had the song you mentioned in the back of my mind When arranging this one! I was going for that soft laid back sound they had! TB

Torrey,
It reminds me of American pop music from the 1970s. It definitely feels like James Taylor. This type of song is also great, although it's a little different from your usual style. The vocals and harmony are very nice. Enjoyed my listen a lot.
Best regards.

My 1st thought was that the bass is a little overpowering at the intro...I can't be sure as I'm listening on a new set up. The song is wonderful.

That issue had been nagging at me for a while and your comments inspired me to go back in and reduce it! It has now been updated on Soundcloud with a new mix! TB

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."
