Meet Me Down In New Orleans

I arranged the song with BIAB then recorded the vocals and mixed it in Sonar.
 
 
You are tender as a rose/ and I am a storm
You’ve had the moonlight in your eyes/ since the day you were born
There’s a south wind blowing/ the salt air in from the sea
Meet me down in New Orleans baby/ Meet me down in New Orleans
 
Come hear the Paddle boat calling/ hear it’s steam whistle blow
It’s playing just for you darling/ It misses you don’t you know
Come feel the rolling Mississippi/ Come find me on St. Peters Street
Meet me down in New Orleans baby/ Meet me down in New Orleans
Meet me down in New Orleans baby/ Meet me down in New Orleans
 
Don’t bother bringing your umbrella/ I’ll be your shelter if it rains
And I won’t wait to read your letter/ I’m headed there right now on faith
Were all of my mistakes so binding/ Am I ever to be free
Meet me down in New Orleans baby/ Meet me down in New Orleans
Meet me down in New Orleans baby/ Meet me down in New Orleans
I’ll be waiting there for you lady / in New Orleans
Meet me down in New Orleans baby/ Meet me down in New Orleans

Excellent....(it used to be 25, but glad to see it's only 5 now)....will check this out at home over the weekend(SoundCloud is a blocked site at work ).

Very well done Lawrence on the composition, vocals, and clean/clear mix........your vocals fit the style very well and as the song kept going, your voice warmed up nicely. I'd like to hear the bass a bit louder in the mix as that'll fill the low end a bit more .....but, that's just my personal taste. 
 
Enjoyed this very much (all 3 times)  :))

Vocals are pretty rich and wonderful. Nice job!
 
The reverb on the snare/drums in general doesn't quite match up with the fairly dry piano. They don't really sound like they are all in same room. I'd be tempted to dry up the drums.
 
thanks for the share - really well sung!

Good song. the slow pace develops power as it goes along. Not sure exactly how much "help" Band In A Box gives you, but you have a better selection of instruments in Sonar. Your vocal is good -- you've got a little gravel in it I'd like to hear more of. I really like this style, and I look forward to your future projects. Like I said, I don't know anything about BIAB, but you play an instrument, right? If so, see what you can do in Sonar.

Thank you for taking a listen glad you liked it.  I'm always revisiting the mix so I'll pay attention to the bass.

Thanks , it's always nice to know what peeps are doing to create their art . I wasn't sure if you were perhaps playing some lead guitar. I've not used BIAB before, but I heard what other peeps are doing with this amazing song writing tool.
 
Nice song you created too... I like your vocals

Thanks for the feedback.  I'll check out the verb a bit closer.

Like Tom said little less reverb on the snare but other than that you seem to have something reasonable cool going on, thanks for sharing. 

Thank you for listening and taking time to comment.

Larry, thank you for listening and commenting.  BIAB is one of the tools that I use.

Hi,
 
Really nice work on this!
 
Great job on the songwriting, arranging and especially the excellent vocals.  Perfect voice for this style of music and a nice clean mix.
 
I agree with Tom and Wookiee about maybe changing the reverb on the drums to possibly make the overall mix gel a little better, but effects are always a subjective choice.
 
Great stuff!
 
Have a good one,
Bob

Bob, thank you for the feedback and for taking time to listen.

Very nice tune and vocal performance. I enjoyed greatly.  Love that Delta Queen pic, I live right on the Ohio river and seen her go by many times.

very cool Gruverider - I hope you don't mind the comparison but your voice reminds me of Elvis Costello - no bad thing in my book.

I don't mind at all.  Thank you for stopping in for a listen

Very cool vibe with great slide work. Dug it a lot!

Thanks for listening. Glad you liked it.

Very nice song....  It's got a great vibe to it that suits the title, and your voice fits like a glove.
 
I bet you could get it sounding even better though if you were to redo the parts in SONAR.  
 

Thanks for listening Steve.
