Well.... I got just enough courage up to throw caution into the hurricane. This is my latest BIAB song being the 1st one on the song list. It's called She Sizzles. (my other 4 BIAB songs are in order below this one) http://www.soundclick.com/bands/default.cfm?bandID=897733This mix is on my KRK Rockit 8's. My (bass player) buddy listened on his JBL4208's and suggested two minor adjustments being -1.0db for drums and +.5 db on lead axe track. (I always agonize over my own vocal = quality/ability) I'm pretty happy with this mix but that doesn't mean I haven't overlooked something. So...I'm curious how this mix may translate to other monitor systems of the forumites here. To any that need a diversion and are inclined to give a listen and comment I'll sincerely thank you in advance. Of course, any comments are welcomed....you know...'the skin of a snow tire' thing.  =BBSF_GO.STY Shuffle Blues (120 RT) This blues swing shuffle features Guitar El Rhythm Blues and Organ B3 Background Blues. T=110-140 (M-Acoustic String Bass, M-Ac.Piano, El.Guitar, Organ, Drums=BluesShuffle^6-HiHat,HiHatOpen) She SizzlesVerse 1 & 2 She sizzles....hot to the tough. Every man's curse and every man's crush. Sizzles...she don't want much. I little bit of everything might be enough. A/G/D/A7 She sizzles....in satin & lace. Strolls on over with a cigarette case. Sizzles...she looks in your eyes and says 'hey stranger, how 'bout a light' Chorus She moves in close with sultry conversation. You don't stand a chance tryin' to fight that fine temptation. LEAD Verse 3 & 4 She sizzles....the talk of the town. Miss Cool is going out on the prowl. Sizzles...from here head to her toes and quite accustomed to silver and gold. A/G/D/A7 She sizzles....it's been verified. Once bitten by the queen of desire. Sizzles....she's super deluxe. I'd recommend that you buckle on up. Chorus Who could resist, blinded by captivation. As I recall, it was a very special occasion. LEAD Chorus (repeat) Who could resist, blinded by captivation. As I recall, it was a very special occasion. She sizzles.....she sizzles....end. Hope you found it worthy of your time.

Wayne,
"she don’t want much. A little bit of everything might be enough." <<< Good line!
A good write for a Stevie-Ray-type blues rocker. Stop agonizing over your vocals - they are perfect for this...
The mix is good. Guitars, bass and drums all where they should be. Vocal, too. The harmonies sort of "jump out atcha" - for this type song, I would put them (much) farther back (personal choice).
I enjoyed this. It rocks. Don't be shy - bring 'em on...

Wowsers....
90db....
Me, on those screamin' guitars? Absolutely not!
I kinda got lost in BIAB as to who the axe players were on this one.
The real time vampire on this one was getting all the axe phrases cut up and positioned to my liking from (6) different guitar tracks....whew.
FJ....
OK...coming from a great vocalist like yourself that minimizes my personal criticism a bit. Overcoming 'shy'ness (in this context) is an obstacle for me.
I also thought about those harmonies being a bit too up front.
It's a worthy comment and I'll revisit that aspect.
The STYLE reminded me of SRV too along with a snippet of Brian Setzer.
rdean....
Thanks to you also for the kind comments.
I'm grateful to all for your listening time and kind comments.
I've worked on this muther steadily since 11/20/16 and it does feel good to get this one off of my creative plate.
I've got two others in the works.
Carry on....

Wayne, you definitely have a SRV vibe going here! I also feel the vocal works just fine. Take care, Torrey

Excellent work.
Nice playing or editing on the playing.
That B3 rocks!
I could hear ZZ Top throwing their interpretation on this.
You can find my music at: www.herbhartley.comAdd nothing that adds nothing to the music. You can make excuses or you can make progress but not both. The magic you are looking for is in the work you are avoiding.

Torrey.... Vocals are always my biggest challenge...never been very confident even though I've had to sing in bands longs ago. During those days, I was always surrounded by others who could sing better than myself and managed to squeak by. Herb.... ZZ Top didn't occur to me until you mentioned it....wouldn't that be an honor to have them do a version of one of our songs! Funny, that 'rockin' B3 was on the default style choice with first generation. I loved it too and immediately froze the tracks. No...all the axe playing is not me by any stretch. As I mentioned earlier, it took me a couple days to get all the axe parts in place and synced up. Thank you both for taking time to listen, commenting and the kind words.
