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.

Thanks Bob! I truly appreciate your comments! TB

Thanks Dan, your comments are so appreciated, especially coming from such a talented composer/writer/singer etc. TB

"Stop Complaining" is pretty harsh lol!
No complaining here, just stating facts that are very frustrating at times!
Nevertheless, thanks for giving it a spin and a comment! I really appreciate it

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!

Thanks so much Mario, this is my favorite song I've ever written and recorded! I have edited the original post deleting the vocal comments because I have repaired/re-recorded/re-uploaded what I wanted fixed! TB

Another fabulous piece of work Torrey. The words really hit home for us from small towns. The production is stellar and it really lets your talent show. It was a great listen.

Thanks for having a listen and commenting! It certainly is a bittersweet trip down memory lane on these types of songs! TB

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.

Vic

Good mix.
A good listen. What more could we ask?

Thanks Floyd! I went all out to keep the backing soft and out of the way of the Lyrics/vocals! I appreciate your time to listen and comment! 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."
