Hi all. Wrote this a little while back.
The style comes from the recent "EXTRA STYLES 7"
All comments welcome.

Good Enough For Me


Wont be fooled by your lies I see through your disguise.
Oh baby your still good enough for me.
Though Ive done nothing wrong I know I must be strong
Oh baby your still good enough for me.


I know you go out dancing you love that rock and roll.
The love I have for you will only grow.
You can see the fool I am I'm such a broken man.
But baby your still good enough for me.

Bridge

Like a moth to a flame you drive me near insane.
Ive not shed my final tear as you can see.
Wont be going out to night
you'll not see my burning light
But baby your still good enough for me.

I know you go out dancing you love that rock and roll.
The love I have for you will only grow.
You can see the fool I am I'm such a broken man.
But baby your still good enough for me.

A fast rockabilly folk style that features a classic rockabilly electric guitar playing blues and rock 'n' roll licks. Two acoustic guitars strum similar patterns but one has six strings and the other has twelve. The acoustic bass plays "in 2", often alternating between the root and fifth. RockabillySwing^ RealDrums play in their first variation, which includes simple toms in the A section and tom 8ths in the B section. This song is in the key of A and uses pop and dominant chords that change every 2 to 8 beats.****** Song Summary *************

A catchy tune, Rob.

Nice use of the BAND. You use a lot of styles that other folks never go near... I like that...

Good vocal. Nice mix.

Rob,
It's a cracker!
That 12 string on the right needs a little more balance left of the image. I can hear the electric rhythm over there but it could be louder.
Good vocals, good writing...GOOD!


Cheers

As usual your vocal shines on this number...
And you've put together a great production & mix...
It feels a like a classic combination of rockabilly & rock and roll...
Something akin to some of Carl Perkins tunes...
Another well done job...
I like it!

Rob, I must confess that some of those Realtracks are new to me but they sure do work in this! Great song that sounds like it should have been a big hit back in the day...like something from Elvis's early years! You did a super job on this! Thanks, Torrey

Rob,
You sound great on this, having fun - I can see you on stage- as the dance floor fills up.
Love that 12 string playing swing.
A very well written and performed song!

These lyrics paint a really pretty but sad picture. You did a great job! Lovely song.

Great vox as usual, liked the placement of the guitar figure after the lyric "you love that rock and roll.' Good package altogether.

I really like this - it sounds just like it rolled off the vinyl presses. You've really captured the rockabilly swing and style, and the vocals are spot on and very smooth. Well done!

202 New RealTracks Released with Band-in-a-Box 2026!

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.

The 2026 49-PAK is loaded with other great new add-ons as well. Learn more about the 2026 49-PAK!
