Awesome playing - mando, fiddle, dobro - it's got it all! Not sure I'd classify this as "bluegrass", but it's certainly country. More of an instrumental country ballad. Beautifully written, played, and mixed. Flawless! Great job Herb!! A+!

It's beautiful! It's a good endorsement for Band in the box too. I didn't think it could sound that good.

Hey Herb, do you mind saying which parts you performed and which were the "backing band"?

Clint: yeah...and that's not even the audiophile version
Walt: on this, all the parts are real band tracks.... I was working up something real quick and didn't have the time to set down and play the guitars or mandolin parts as I normally do.... so I simply kept those parts. It was my intention to replace the guitar parts but that hasn't happened to date.

Loved the Mandolin intro, you had me at hello!! :-)
Wow!! Herb, I am amazed at how far you have gotten and how good your playing is these days. And I mean worlds above anything I am playing or recording. Outstanding!!
My only complaint is it was a bit too short. I wanted to hear more!!
Either way, I enjoyed hearing this very much, I'm no mix master but it sounded PERFECT to me on the mix.

Well at least you don't have to practice at night on the commode, seat down.; ) Joking aside, this is a nice tune and pretty amazing what you can do with BIAB these days. I'm pretty tempted to buy it so I will never have to play rhythm guitar ever again ; )

Oleman... thanks Janet: yes and no. It was composed in BB but the tracks are from the real band samples. it's all sampled audio, edited and tweeked. Rik: it's easy to be lazy, but I do still drag out the 6 strings and play them. The secret to this (if there is a secret), or any other BB creation is the editing that goes into it and the entire process used. Generally speaking, you can't just take a BB track and use it unedited and expect it to sound "finished" in the final mix. Thanks for listening.

Guitar Pima...... thanks for the listen.... and the kind words.... audio editing & enveloping make that what it is.
Tim, thanks... you'll be glad to know that I have 2 songs about to be posted here in the next few weeks which both are vocal tunes.....
Ralph, good to see you back. Gonna stay around for a while this time? This acoustic style has really grabbed me over the past year or so.... I bought a new Taylor guitar and picked up a mandolin so they have both influenced my musical direction in an acoustic based direction. There is quite a bit more of this that I am writing but I don't post it all or even much of it here. Thanks for listening..... I continue to write country as well..... stay tuned....

Yeah, I plan on staying for a while this time  . I started writing and recording again, dusted off all of my equipment. I have a few new songs I'm gonna post. Yes, you've really come a long way in the acoustic style. Your music is very, very professional. Both in content and production. I actually have a couple of "country" songs that I'm gonna post as soon as they're done. More like Alt Country Rock but I've been moving in that direction. Looking forward to listening to your tunes!!!

Lynn, thanks....it's a long hard road but worth the journey. Not that it's worth much.... but, this tune has been at #2 on the sound click charts for over 2 weeks. Generally it will rise quickly as people listen, then, a day or two at or near the top, and it slides down rather quickly. Kinda surprised me that it's still on the top.
