YOU make it look so easy. Come on....eight guitar tracks that seamlessly fit in the arrangement and the mix? I wanna be able to do that when I grow up. You're upping the RT numbers exponentiallyand making it work. While I'm paring them down to a, for me, manageable level...that'd be about 15% of your norm  And then we get to the lyric, the melody and the vocals. Eaglesque as mentioned but with the signature fj stamp all over it. IMHO, "signature" is a helluva achievement for a musician operating at ANY tier. You have it Mr. jane -- two bars and you know it's a fj tune....and I know at least 4 playlists this one is gonna soon be on (; Kudos!! J&B

floyd, Rockin snare sound! Love the eagles type oohs and harmonies. The first guitar turnaround fits like an old shoe. Great idea on the outro with guitar/slide interplay. The usual stellar pro mix/master. Once again you hit the mark. You are the one who makes it look easy! Tom

I couldn't remember if this one was from "On the Border" or "One of These Nights," but then it hit me that it's not the Eagles at all!
Wow, Floyd, what an awesome track!
I couldn't help but think Eagles after just a few seconds. But it actually sounds like a great original tune that happens to have a few Eagles-like characteristics (which I happen to love).
Hard to believe all those guitars are playing so well together and are all BIAB! Solid and driving. Great mix (maybe a tad more bass). But the vocals really seal the deal. Very smooth and tight.
Good start to the year! Third listen now...Thanks, Bruce Bruce - thanks for all of that... I would imagine we (meaning us forumites) were/are all Eagles fans... I did go back and up the bass - thanks... Hi Floyd - This is up to your usual high standard. Just as I have come to expect every time I press play on one of your new songs. Just love your mixes and your vocals are just wonderful. You keep us all going on this forum. You make it look so easy! Thanks, Joanne... this is such a terrific community.. Floyd, Here goes... One could hear a fairly straightforward song structure, lyrics, melody lines. Like the last one, just a simple song, a decievingly simple song that keeps playing it's tune long after the headphones have gone off. Floyd, I bet you had a lot of fun putting all these guitars in place, in line, in the right sequence. Vocals and mix nicely balanced. (and needless to say well sung) A challenge to showcase the possibilities of BIAB, putting layer on layer on layer... and making it sound all natural. That's the main goal of this forum I suppose, and you did a great job, again Don't like to be in the shoes of the storyteller tough  G Fred Thanks, Fred. I appreciate that. The best thing about this forum is seeing how everyone uses the software and how they put things together. Ideas flying around all over the place....

On a forum of such skilled listeners, it's hard not to repeat things when you don't there early. I also hear a lot of Eagles (And I love the Eagles). I think it really hits with that solo at the first chorus (I'm guessing that's the shining pop soloist), and the BGs really reinforce it. The production is excellent, and all the guitars work beautifully together. If I was going to play with anything, I might make the BGs a little louder and/or boosted in the highs, and/or possibly a little wetter. They sound great but I feel they could be brought out a bit more somehow. As for the songwriting....Masterful! Another excellent tune, expertly delivered!! Take care. Greg Thanks, Greg. The early guitar parts are all 1513:Guitar, Electric, Soloist CountryBrent Ev 065 - using it in Half-Time since it is 65 bpm in a 120 bpm song. I think that is the reason it seem to fit so nicely. The shining pop soloist is the "dirtier" one that comes later and in the outro... The BGVs are a combination of me and the BIABettes (generated harmonies). You can't let the generated harmonies get too loud or you start to hear those robot-chipmunk singers. If you add too much reverb to them, they fall back too far, so you have to raise the level again, and again start to hear the artifacts - so it's all a fine line you walk when mixing it all.... this was the best balance I could get from the combination of 2 of me and 4 of them... Superb lyrics, outstanding vocal performance and the mix is superb as usual. thanks for sharing! Thanks for dropping by, Robert! So many cool things about this.... Loved Brent's solo where he switched from solo to dual notes and back... something I enjoy doing as well...
The mixing of clean and dirty tracks was well done.
It's not easy to have 8 guitar tracks and end up with a clean well balanced mix as you did with this. the tendency of most folks would be to try to use the guitars more.... I like that you used restraint. The right thing at the right time. The interesting thing is that there were obviously so many different ways you could have mixed this and none of them would have been wrong, better or worse... just different.
The slide at the end was perfectly placed.
Overall writing was good as was the vox.
Great way to start the new year off the right way.
Edit: there was one thing that stood out to me. In the pause between the first verse into the chorus, everything's as smooth as it needs to be.... when it comes around again on the second verse...pause...chorus.... the first chorus chord is rushed slightly.
Oh yeah... that slide has a definite David Lindley vibe to it..... Jackson Brown... Running on Empty album..... If you haven't heard that album.... do yourself a huge favor....get it.
Edit 2: did I mention I like this song alot? Thanks, Herb. Any time you use that slide RT, it's gonna sound like Lindley... seemed even more so playing against the Shining Pop lead..

Hi, Floyd !:))
I simply love everything
about this song, it is so
well written, sung, played,
put together and produced !
Especially I like the vocal
harmony parts, they are just
great !:))One of your best if not
the best ? :))
Just great Floyd !!!:))
Cheers
Dani the Spaniard in spe
LOL - muchas gracias, Spanish Dani.... Hey Floyd,
This is just great - sounds like it could be on the radio. My favorite of your songs so far...
Bob Thanks, Bob...appreciate that... Hi Floyd,
I'm a fan!
No time for commenting. Must get back to listen.
Guenter thanks, Guenter... Hi Floyd,
That is some achievement and probably my favourite song so far in my short time on these forums!
I echo all the other positive comments. I am also amazed at how you make it sound like it was played by a band rather than a bunch of RTs strung together. Great skills. Thanks for sharing.
Rec Rec - Appreciate you droppin' by for a listen... Thanks for the very nice comments. None of this would be possible without BIAB - it still amazes me that it can produce seamless studio quality tracks to allow us to do what we do... +1 Always a sucker for those Eaglesque oooo's. Great listen FJ.
Josie Thanks, Josie...

Great material there. Really like the country rock feel, and the choice of instruments.
Great vocals and especially fantastic lyrics.
Definitely a bit of America and Eagles happening here.

Here I go for the 10th time in a row "This is your best to date"!
Man you are setting the bar so high that I'm a little intimidated to post anything!
As I have said many times "You should be signed"! Have you given any thought about trying out for TV show "The Voice"? I'm sure Blake Shelton would pick you in a heartbeat.
This is a keeper.
Life is short so make sure you spend as much time as possible on the Internet arguing with strangers.

Hi Floyd. These Productions just seem to flow out of you.
You certainly do make it look easy.
Which is not easy.

Floyd, how could it be that you aren't all over the radio yet? I'll tell ya who makes it look easy.. YOU DO! You pop these radio ready hits out like toast! And I guess its because you understand the "rules" so you can recreate different manifestations of them over and over... the interesting thing is that your songs don't sound like cookie cutter knockoffs... they may all have every element a good country song needs... but you make them all sound unique and interesting. One of the things I liked about this one is the fact that "you make it look easy" is usually a compliment... but in the song's context, if it is a compliment at all, it's a back handed one. Interesting spin that engaged my cognitive dissonance and got me interested. This might be my last commentary on your songs Floyd... you're in a class by yourself here. Most of the song writers seek objective analysis in order to hear their song through new ears... for most people that's a necessary part of getting a grip on the craft. But there is no observation I can make about your songs that you don't already know. I actually feel foolish trying to say something that adds a perspective you haven't already considered. I'll continue to check in so you know I listened and enjoyed your songs... but you are confident enough that you don't need encouragement, smart enough that you don't need analysis and busy enough that you don't need to spend time reading my long dissertations anyway.  But even in the absence of new kudos, rest assured that I am (and will continue to be) blown away by each project you post here.

Late on the scene here, so I can't really add anything that hasn't already been said, except a ton of admiration for your command of the multiple layers of inspiration, lyric-writing, music-writing, arranging, vocals, real guitar playing (sometimes), mixing and mastering. And you are able to create such a live studio sound with your choices and technical mastery of instrument mixes, shots, holds, etc. Lot's to learn from you bro'.
I am using BIAB on a MacBook and GarageBand for mixing, so I am not sure what you mean when you say you added BIABetts to the vocal mix. I do recall in RealBand on the Windows platform there was a feature to modulate your own voice into harmony parts, but RealBand isn't available on the Mac.
Anyway ... great song, great production, and like just about everybody here, I am a bit fan of the Eagles, and intentionally or unintentionally, you nailed that early Eagle's groove with multiple guitar tracks (Hotel California has 12 I believe) and those great vocal harmonies. Thanks!

With Band-in-a-Box® 2026, we've released 202 incredible new RealTracks (in sets 468-488) in a variety of genres—featuring your most requested styles!
Jazz, Funk & World (Sets 468-475):
Our new jazz, funk & blues RealTracks include a groovin’ collection of RealTracks and RealDrums! These include more requested “soul jazz” RealTracks featuring artists Neil Swainson (bass), Charles Treadway (organ), Brent Mason (guitar), and Wes Little (drums). There are new “smooth jazz” styles (4), which include a RealTracks first: muted trumpet, as well as slick new smooth jazz brushes options for drums. Blues lovers will be thrilled—there are more “classic acoustic blues” styles, including guitar (5), bass (4), and drums (10) with blues master Colin Linden, featuring understated and tasty background acoustic soloing, plus brushes drums and acoustic bass. There are also new electric blues RealTracks, including electric blues with PG favorite Johnny Hiland (3) and soulful electric slide guitar from Colin Linden (4). If you love funk & gospel, there are great new options this year, including gospel organ (3) from Charles Treadway, as well as new funk, tango, and rock ’n’ roll drums (3) and bass (1). 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. You'll get new country-rhythm guitar styles from PG Music favorites Johnny Hiland and Brent Mason, along with modern-pop grooves that capture today’s radio-ready sound!
