Dave & Team,
Thumbs up! Nice groove, flows into ears like butter. Two spins, easy listen. I've saw some tech comments, but did not read the closely. I thought mix was great. Especially I liked Chris vocals, how the sits in the mix. Even her more aggressive parts sound smooth. A+ for Guitar work! Marty is bass is perfect fit. Enjoyed this and thank you for sharing.
Misha.

Cool uptempo blues with great work from all 3 of you.
And there are some pretty good Gary Moore guitar licks.
Me likes! Appreciate that B.D., thanks very much! Very smoothly done, Dave.
Nice clean sound you have here.
Vic I know blues is not your thing, Vic, so thanks for checking out the song.

Howdy Blue....
Very cool track.
A good write with great bluesy vibe.
Good mix and great job overall by everyone.
Enjoyed the listen.
Well done! Thanks for checking out the song! Dave...I marvel how how good you guys are as a trio...this is such a clean, tight and professional sounding recording...so tastefully mixed and so well performed...Chris has such a beautiful voice....it cuts through the mix exquisitely...and of coarse your leads are always unique and perfect for your songs...Marty...well Marty is Marty (that's all good)...and the song is so well written and a great melody...you guys are top-notch writers, arrangers and performers! Really appreciate that, Dan, thanks!

Oh, yes, we do have time for these blues! Awesome y’all! Chris always sings with such conviction and soul. Dave’s guitar was a little reminiscent of Santana and that was nice! Marty’s bass always nails the bottom end with never too much or too little. The cool vid is perfect for the lyric. As always this is a HIGH bar production ... write, vocals, guitar, bass, arrangement and mix. Love it! J&B PS As we say, perhaps too often, mixing is never finished - just abandoned. 
Our albums and singles are on Spotify, Apple Music, Amazon Music, YouTube Music, Pandora and more. If interested search on Janice Merritt. Thanks! Our Videos

Well I can listen to the kind of blues anytime. Assume tune Dave. Chris's vocal was super. Marty's basslines gave the song such a cool groove. Drums were perfect. Loved your guitar tone and excellent phrasing. Well done

Rolling down nicely the bluesy road. Excellent groove and the players/singer are perfect, nothing to add, nothing to remove. Even has some nice, slightly surprising chord variations (like one after the last 'dues'). And congratulation for so many YouTube listeners for the song, seems to be the most popular Blue Attitude song already, you are clearly closer to the breakthrough Janne

Greg Thanks Greg. I haven't got back to the mix on this one yet, working on another project at the moment. But when I do I'll certainly check on the B3. Great tune! As we are used to hear from you. Thanks

Dave and the gang,
The first thing that caught my attention was how much I liked the sound Of the Toontrack drums, Dave, you did a great job working with those and of course the great sounding guitar parts! I think this is the best sounding vocal by Chris I've heard (she's always great though), Marty's bass work is so solid here! You never go wrong having him playing on a track, it's always professionally done! That BIAB organ sounds good in the mix! TB

Great work by all of you. I agree with Torrey about those vocals, man she really did well with this one. I always like hearing the way you pick Dave, and Marty, well I've always been a fan. I really loved the simple writing and the groove through the whole song. You all gelled just perfectly on this one. Thanks for giving me a listen,
Brad

And for big, bold arrangements, we have uptempo soul horns (4) featuring a three-part hip horn section with options for a full mix or stems of each individual horn — plus an accompanying rhythm section (4) of drums, bass, guitar, and electric piano!
Rock & Pop (Sets 476–482):
Our new rock & pop RealTracks bring a powerful mix of requested favorites, fresh genres, and modern chart-inspired styles! We have more of our popular “Producer Layered Acoustic Guitars (15)” featuring Band-in-a-Box favorite Brent Mason. We’ve continued our much-requested disco styles (10), and added new Celtic guitar (5) with a more basic, accessible approach than our previous Drop-D or DADGAD offerings. There are also highly requested yacht rock styles (17), inspired by the smooth, polished soft-rock sound of the late ’70s and early ’80s — laid-back grooves, silky electric pianos, warm textures, elegant harmonic movement, and pristine production aesthetics. Fans of heavier styles will love our new glam metal (13), capturing the flashy, high-energy sound of ’80s arena-ready guitar rock. We also have a set of rootsy modern-folk rock (18), with a warm, organic sound combining contemporary folk textures and driving acoustic strumming. And we’ve added lots of new modern pop styles (16) — the kinds of sounds you’re hearing on the radio today, featuring exciting new drums, synths, and cutting-edge RealTracks arrangements.
Country, & Americana (Sets 483–488):
Our new country & Americana RealTracks deliver a rich collection of acoustic, electric, and roots-inspired styles! We have new country pop (9) with legendary guitarist Brent Mason. There is also a potpourri (14) of bouzouki, guitars, banjo, and more, perfect for adding texture and character to contemporary acoustic arrangements. We’ve added funky country guitar (5) with PG favorite Brent Mason, along with classic pedal steel styles (5) featuring steel great Doug Jernigan. There are more country songwriter styles (8) that provide intimate, rootsy foundations for storytelling and modern Americana writing. Finally, we have “background soloing” acoustic guitar (12) with Brent Mason — simpler, but still very tasty acoustic lines designed to sit beautifully behind vocals or act as a subtle standalone solo part.
Check out all the 202 new RealTracks (in sets 468-488)!
And, if you are looking for more, the 2026 49-PAK (for $49) includes an impressive collection of 20 bonus RealTracks, featuring exciting and inspiring additions to add to your RealTracks library.

There are also new indie-folk styles with guitar, bass, 6-string bass used as a high-chording instrument, acoustic guitar, and banjo. Plus, dedicated "cymbal fills" RealDrums provide an added layer that work very well with low-key folky styles with other percussion.
