I play music for a living. I have three different projects and one of then is a solo country act wich i use baking tracks. The way i look at it, not every venue (especially the smaller ones) can afford to pay for a full band. So if i can provide them with an entertaining performance that simulates a full band at a price they can afford it's a win for both parties.

I do have an acoustic duo as well for smaller venues but many places in my area (touristy Florida) prefer the backing tracks. It probably has something to do with the drums and bass making it more danceable.
