Just a preference thing; I was hoping for another superb guitar solo in the outro. Six minutes of this would not be too long.

Well done everyone.


Really appreciate the kind words, thanks so much!

Very professional song in every aspect. Simple story with stripped-down arrangement where every element shines, tight band, relaxed guitar playing (like Mark Knopfler), excellent bassline, enjoyable vocals, radio friendly mix.

Excellent bass, good vocals (I particularly liked the harmony sections), and then of course the powerful solo!

High praise indeed, thanks, Dan!

Great mix.
Bass comes through nicely. Not too elaborate.
All good.

Way cool! Y’all are really cooking on this song.

Yours and Kathy’s lyric is a goodie and then the melody and excellent performances get the song stuck in our heads.

We agree with Chris and Marty about that solo, Dave ... a definite keeper. And just the right amount of grit. Tom Adams calls it putting a little "hair around the edge." smile The sweet spot.

Chris always has such nice subtleties in highlighting the melody and lyric and she shines on this. Marty’s bass is excellent. It cuts through the mix perfectly with zero mud.

Nice work with that EZ thang.

Enjoyed it!

PS And please consider all the above also from Peter who is on a getaway for several days.

Dave and crew,
This is a perfect example that music does not have to be overcomplicated to be excellent. Everyone put up a great show, no need to dissect it. Clear mix & listens very well! Thank you for sharing,
Misha.
P.S. Kathy's lyrics worked very well.

Awesome tune Dave. Super vocal from Chris Had a couple of listens from the Facebook page. Excellent collaboration. Guitar was perfect. Loved the production and mix. Marty's bass lines really locked the song into a cool groove. Well

Hi Blue Attitude,

Very nice blues. The composition is well constructed. The voice is superb. And it's all very pleasant.

This is a really polished performance. You guys (and gal) seem so comfortable with your instruments and vox you make it sound effortless to produce these amazing sounds. Well done.


My music may not set the world on fire but if it causes a glow in just one person's heart, it has all been worthwhile smile

Yes, pretty much a dream team, no doubt! Thanks very much for the listen and comments.

Thanks, Mario!

Well done bell, bell, spruit & straub.


I don't hear the click myself so I'm not that bothered about it. Thanks, Ray!

So much to like about this!

First, it sounds great in my headphones. Nice balance, stereo imaging, and the bass and drums immediately set up the groove.

Vocals are excellent, as is the solo guitar. Love the structure of the song - the verse start and ends with the hook, so the form is immediately clear.

Love it.

Vocal control, you say. Never heard of it. Is that some kind of ProTools thing?

Hi Alan, The amp simulation software that I've been using for the last few years just released a free update that included an overdrive pedal, had to try it out on this song wink It adds a little dirt but still lets me play double stops and chords, pretty cool. Thanks for stopping by!

Oh, wait, that's not what was said exactly. My favorite quote here so far is from Ray: "bell, bell, spruit & straub" has a good ring to it.


Thanks for everything you do, Marty, always.

The harmonies are exceptional.

Nice that you and Kathy write together!
Some of your best guitar work ever. Love the tone. Love the solo!

(I thought the drums needed more reverb)

A Great Listen.

Writing is something I really struggle with, doesn't come naturally to me at all, so it helps when Kathy can come up with a line or two.

As far as the reverb goes, you are probably right, I think I trust your ears more than just about anyone. I tend to err on the side of caution when it comes to reverb on drums.

Thanks, Floyd!

Vocal is beautiful.

The song has the road journey quality to it.

Enjoyed it much!


Happy you liked it, thanks, Scott!

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."

Happy Easter! Holiday Hours...

2024 is well underway - it's already Easter Weekend!

Our Customer Service hours this weekend are:

Friday, March 29: 8-4
Saturday, March 30: 8-4
