You Can’t Shape My Dreams Our latest is a simple “two verses, chorus and I’m outta here” little ditty. But it was fun and we hope you find it to be also. If interested your time to listen and comment is most appreciated. Thanks to PG Music and our music partner Peter. Janice: lead/harmony vocals, melody and arrangement Bud: arrangement, mix, mastering, lyric and photo Peter: guitar solos/fills, guitar mix, and arrangement Vocals: Rodes mic > Scarlett interface > Izotope Nectar (Izotope Vocal Doubler on harmony) Drums: RealDrums NashvilleRadioShuffle > Waves CLA Drums Snare (doubled) > Waves Magma BB T Cymbal (doubled) > Logic Pro X ChromaVerb Bass: RealTrack 3566 Electric, NashvilleRadioShuffleA > Waves Bass Rider > Izotope Neutron 3 Rhythm Guitar: RealTrack 3702 AmericanaShuffleBrent > Logic Pro X ChromaVerb Piano: RealTrack 2124 Acoustic, Rhythm CountryShuffleJohn > Waves CLA Unplugged > Ozone Imager Mix: Logic Pro X Mastering Chain: (Ozone Modules) Dynamic EQ > Vintage EQ > Imager > Maximizer > Tonal Balance 2 > Logic Pro Loudness Meter > www.loudnesspenalty.com Other stuff: We were auditioning a few BiaB Americana based styles when we ran across a demo for which we much liked the progression … so we appropriated it  A first for us as we typically work up our own. And, yes, there is an unusual chord present The lyric is on SC.

Catchy bouncing groove. Nice tasty guitar links. Good harmonica in the vocal lines.

Janice, Bud & Peter,
What a great song! Love the tempo and arrangement. Some very cool instrumental & vocal phrasing - really awesome.
Crisp and clean production - perfect and completely suits the song.

That's some great writing!
Loved it!
Bob

A nice you-won't-keep-me-down-woman-empowered song. Nobody will clip your wings
https://soundcloud.com/user-646279677BiaB 2025 Windows For me there’s no better place in the band than to have one leg in the harmony world and the other in the percussive. Thank you Paul Tutmarc and Leo Fender.

Hey You Three ...
As always, a stellar song and production. Exceptional lyrics. Bob already commented on the lyrical portion that really appealed to me. Peter just plays the heck out of ya'll's songs. Everything is spot-on. Of course, there's never a doubt of that being otherwise.
A real nice, peppy empowerment song. This is a little different than your typical production, but different in a delicious way!
Lots to like here. Best to all of you.

That's one spirited song. Peter's interjections really add to the UP vibe.
Terrific writing & performance all 'round.
COOOOL.
It gave off some of the vibe of the "other" tracks on A Night At The Opera.

Janice, Bud, and Peter, when I see these three names together I know I'm in for some really great ear candy!
Outstanding vocal, guitar, and mix.
Peter always knows what to play to enhance your songs.
We all know that Janice could sing the dictionary and it would sound great!
Bud's mixes are always professional.
What more could we ask for?
Another winner.
Loved it.
Unclear if the pianist is a total beginner or a professional jazz player?

I guess this is thematically the country version (I hope it's actually country) of my song "A world is waiting for me" Very catchy, gets my feet moving. As always, Janice's voice is what I love the most, but the production and guitars aren't bad either  Great work by the three of you!

J&B....well that was fun! no blues here...I love the bounce and tempo...the chorus has a Mamas and Papas vibe...love it! Peter is seamless with the track and the solo is typical Peter stuff (tight and pro)...great vocals and harmonies and another pro sounding mix Bud!

Hey, you guys, I have a request. Take a random page from an old phone book, and you folks will turn it into a hit. What another beauty you have here. Such enthralling vocals and a pleasingly fun guitar in an excellent mix of a wonderfully uplifting-in-spite-of-the-apparent-anchors song in the "a simple 'two verses, chorus and I’m outta here' little ditty" style. You make it sound easy, but we know it as incredibly good work.

Janice and Bud,
Pretty fun ditty all the way around! Great solo guitar to match the awesome vocals. Love the surprise slide vocals in V2! My ears were expecting a different rhyme scheme for the chorus (AA-BB) but it didn't take away from the song. Great job!

Wowf. That left me off-kilter.  I love the bouncy feel and the mix, and the guitar is inventive. And Janice is always a delight to listen to. But the song refuses to play by the rules, and I'm a lazy listener. Still, a fun listen, and well done!
