Your voice is different (of course), but in terms of arrangement and great storytelling, your song reminds me a bit of Mark Knopfler's solo work.
Really well done!

Thanks WaoBand.
If you poke around in BIAB long enough you can usually find something that blends.

Man, I love the way you write 'em and play 'em, Vic. Such a well-told story and a well-sung song. I'm all for long solos (partially cuz I ain't a good singer), and this one is perfect for your song. The solo is a nice way of tell parts of the story wiht music, and the feel is perfect. Four sixes beats Aces and Eights.


Enjoy whatever happens!

Hi Torrey.
To my ears it sounds about there but my voice may not come through earbuds.
I will have to revisit to see what I can do.
Thanks for listening.

Hi, Vic.

What do I think?

Excellent chorus. Great write. Perfect arrangement. Vocal works even though your voice is soft.

That's what I think. smile

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

Thanks for your support, Marty. Coincidentally, you may or may not be aware but “Aces & Eights” was another story song of mine from a few years back.
Thanks again.

Inviting intro and then the nicely rolling rhythm starts, I enjoyed those guitars. A story about not so nice guy, interesting approach, kind of old way storytelling that works especially well with your dark voice.

You’ve got us wanting to watch an old western movie now, Vic. 😊

The band suits the lyric well and the solo was definitely not too long.

Your vocals told the story very well.

Well done,

J&B

Hi Janne.
I’m glad you liked that rolling rhythm start. Sometimes you get a happy accident with BIAB. This was one I grabbed before it disappeared.

Thank you,
