I really like the slow rockin' feel of this particular style. It would be the perfect inspiration for a dozen great country songs. The only addition to the style was the RT Mandolin and my Telecaster for fills. BIAB tracks were exported to Reaper for vocals, guitar, and final mixing. Thanks to PGM for the most inspirational style package I've seen. It really got me writing and recording. Hope you enjoy what we did with this very nice style. Thanks for listening, ~Bob Xtra Styles 3, Country _BLUEST.STY **** Song Summary ********* Title: Don't Call Me When You're Lonely File:Dont Call Me When Youre Lonely.SGU Key=D , Tempo 120, Length (m:s)=3:00 8 bar intro, 26 bar chorus, from bar 9 to bar 34.

I got this old beat up Martin back in Denver It just feels right in my hands We’ve spent all these years together on the road Playing beer joints with the bands There ain’t nothing I have written could last long No one cares cause it’s just one more hurting song So don’t call me when you’re lonely I can’t say when I’m coming home.

The choice of style is top class, and the vocals have put all the polish needed to make this a winner. Good luck with the contest.

The drums are part of the STYLE created by the PG Music guys. They sound fine to me and I haven't heard that comment from anyone else so you might want to pose that question/comment to PG Music.
