Blues All Over You All night drinkin’ actin’ the fool, Gamblin’ my money till there’s nothin’ left to lose. Wake up in the front yard, stankin’ like sin, sleep all day, get up and do it again. Oh the things you’ll do, when you get the blues all over you. Go out chasin’ womans, and makin’ my play, Don’t wanta catch em, it’s just the thrill of the chase. Don’t want no woman that wants to get caught, Done got one at home that I can’t run off. Oh the things you’ll do, when you get the blues all over you. Come home late, wife ask, where I been, what kinda’ mischief you been getting’ yo-self in? No time to think ‘bout what to say, said I was abducted by the CIA, and she agreed, That I had the blues all over me Oh the things you’ll do, when you get the blues all over you. ( Solos ) Gonna wake up in the mornin’ $hit, shower, and shave, Haul A$$ off to work, and I won’t be late. Gonna clean up my livin’, gonna’ try to be good, Go to church on Sunday, just like I should. Oh the things you’ll do, when you get the blues all over you. It’s plain to see, That I’ve got the blues all over me. _________________________________________ BiaB - Drums, AC Bass, Harmonica, Pedal-Steel Me - Guitars & Vocal

Great blues song, bloc-head, lyrics and vocals, and especially the the whole band and how you mixed them in so perfectly. I got the blues all over me, under me and through.

We got some blues going round the forum..... Good one.
I enjoyed the story line.... sounds familiar.
A really good job all the way around from the writing of the lyrics to the instruments to the mix.

REALLY cool. The 1st Oh "the things you’ll do" seemed a bit rushed & collided internally but the subsequent ones were smooth. I'm not a fan of the kick drum - but I seem to have a problem with BIAB kick tracking generally.

A really neat song, great lyrics, the percussion drives this really well.
The harmonica spells 'blues' throughout, and the breaks fit so well.
Great job, no question.

bloc-head
You have got to be one of the most creative people on this forum! I am always blown away by the incredible work you post every time! Anyone who says a musician can't produce a professional sounding work with BIAB, needs to listen to your work!
A fan!
Thanks, Torrey

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.

Plus, dedicated "cymbal fills" RealDrums provide an added layer that work very well with low-key folky styles with other percussion.
