BYE BYE BABY

[freddy j]

Some where way down  on that  SoundClick  list, of what I am calling songs, is one called Bye Bye Baby Bye Bye.  Well, I borrowed 3/5's of the title and the lyrics and was determined to set these to a different arrangement.  Below is the result of  this effort.  I found the "train" drum beat  (prominent in many rockabilly songs)  rather difficult.  Sooo,  I imagine that my timing problem will be even more pronounced in this number (toward the end especially).

Therefore, as usual I would appreciate any comments, crit.'s, and suggestions.

Thanks!

"I found the "train" drum beat rather difficult."  IF there is a "problem", I didn't notice it, too busy enjoying the tune...

Hi Freddy, 

This was an interesting / eclectic listen.   Very signature take on blues, for sure.  
 

My main issue is that the vocals need to be in a better shared space as everything else.  They seem to be super dry and very forward.  Maybe that’s the intention?
 

nicely done…

I love that opening note, excellent tune 🍺

Love the oh man and the expressive vocals, a fun heartbreak song.  Really enjoyed it.

Yeah maybe a little timing issue here and there but doesn't take anything away. Boy I really like the bluesy solo guitar in there. As always a great story done in the blues style.

Hi Tom,  Thanks much  for listening and commenting.  I am always grateful for your support and suggestions!

Hi David.  Thanks for listening and for your comments and suggestion. I do have difficulties in mixing and recording  vocals.  Back in the old days of the forum I was constantly encouraged to cut back on the use of reverb used on the vocals.  I tend to respond with over indulgence in the extreme.  I'll keep on working on it and hopefully reach a balance.  Again thanks!

Hey Old Joad.  Thanks very much for the listen and kind comments!

Hi Treesha.  I love doing the 1940's -1950's style Blues.  Not just because I am a Bluesahoclic  but it is a fun music to play (even if you have got the blues).  Thanks for your kind comments and for listening.

Hey KSband.  Thanks very much for listening and your kind comments.

Hey Nigel.  I am very glad that you liked this Bluesabilly number.  As B B King once said -- even the Blues can be happy music. I really appreciate your kind words and encouragement.  BTW, I really enjoyed and was impressed by your last posting!  I hope the album is doing well.

Hi Steve.  Thanks much for the input and kind words.  ( bit of trouble on the double tracking ?   Yes indeed!  I love playing but  recording and mixing is not my strength.  I'll blame it all on my growing up listening to all those scratchy,  LoFi  R & B and Blues numbers.🫠   Thanks again.

Hi Bjorn.  Other than the need for some musical skills , I think that my use of loop/clips for drums gives me problems.  I have tried the Cakewalk drums, addictive drums, and others.  However  to me they just don't sound like the acoustic drums that you might hear in a small club venue.  You know -- the kind of place that you would go to to hear some good local Blues.  Although, I'm sure those MIDI type drums would probably help my timing.  BTW I enjoyed your recent post with video!
