A Darker Shade Of Blue

There’s a bar just past our empty house down off Danners Rd

a double shot of Cuervo might lighten up my load

All I’m trying to do tonight is rearrange my mind

I never was the all night drinkin kind


Through the tears you said you loved us both and I'll take that to my grave

I told you that you’d have to choose that's just how I was raised

He grew up right beside me close as one is to two

Never thought that he would play me for the fool


No forgiveness or new beginnings That’s it we’re at the end

It’s an ugly situation since you run off to be with him

It’s one thing to lose your best friend never mind losing two

the sky just turned a darker shade of blue


I just can’t forget the past I just can’t move on

feels like I’m stuck inside some old country song

your cheatin heart yeah play me blue eyes cryin in the rain

Maybe one more round might help to ease the pain


No forgiveness or new beginnings That’s it we’re at the end

It’s an ugly situation since you run off to be with him

It’s one thing to lose your best friend never mind losing two

the sky just turned a darker shade of blue

Hi Tom.

Great title and nice the way it featured at the end of the chorus - a real hook line. I just know I'm going to be singing that song for the rest of the day!

Great backing, wonderful pedal steel and first class vocals from you and of course, Janice.

A bit of classic country.

Hi Tom ...

Love this good ole country sound. I (Alan) grew up playing this kind of music. Your pedal steel playing is superb ... perfect for traditional country. As I listened, I was thinking, who might have had had a hit with this (it's hit-worthy in the era!), then it dawned on me ... Vern Gosdin! I can hear it now. But we sure did enjoy hearing the Tom Adams version!!! Of course Janice tops off everything she does like a cherry n a hot fudge sundae.

Great stuff, Tom ... Seriously!

Just love that!! A clever little irony and homage all wrapped in some sincere emotion. This is another A-1 production and song. Easier to say what's wrong (nothing) than what's right. It all works really well. Janice is always a great addition, and as good as the RTs are, some custom guitar always sweetens it just a bit more. As a bonus, I got to listen to "That Night", and "A perfect match" again. You had a great year Tom, and now you're opening up '16 on a great note!! Take care. Greg

Great delivery Tommy.

This is some of the best "cryin' in your beer music" I've ever heard ( wink )

No, seriously, this is really nice. Great lyrics, and style. And Janice on harmonies, well, no wonder it's good.

Tom,

About as "classic country" as it comes.

"feels like I’m stuck inside some old country song"
HA! great line. The chorus is nicely structured...
"No forgiveness / or new beginnings / That’s it / we’re at the end "

Production is so nicely "crisp" start to finish. Steel work is superb!

Harmonies are perfect (of course).

Classic.

Classic country classically done. Nice pedal steel playing for sure. Well done and a fun listen .. about a sad subject. The harmonies are mighty fine. Some well placed references to other classic tunes.

Awesome country tune. Wants you to get up out of the chair and commence two-steppin. :-)

Well done.

Greg, That second verse shows the power of the rewrite. I really think that the magic in songwriting lies in the ability to put it away and then come back and take another look. Most of my rewrites have been very successful in making the song better. Thanks for your support, Tom

Thanks for the great review. I was trying to capture the time period that the incident took place. There was a little 10 seat bar five miles down the road from the farm where we lived that had the best jukebox in the world or at least in the county. I listened to many a Tear in your beer 45's there. Thanks again, Tom

Really nice song.

This is, without a doubt, my favorite style of country.

There's soooooo much to love about this..... from the lyrics to the strumming acoustics that are laying down the groove, to the superbly crafted lyrical phrases..... oh yeah, and that steel guitar playing.

My first thought when I heard the steel guitar was...OMG, I gotta know what RT that is. You need to call Peter G and make a deal to get some of YOUR playing into the real tracks that come with future versions.

Absolutely loved it.

Edit: still letting it play as I do other things.... love that chord at 3:14 I was expecting a key change but you resolved it nicely to the same key. Wasn't expecting that. Nice

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! 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.
