All my best you folk,

Thanks man. Those are very kind words that spoke to our hoped for objectives. Much appreciated!

Janice Bud & floyd

Beautiful delicate song. Lovely acoustic bed and superb lead and harmony vocals (you two always blend so well).

Nice remix Bud, clear and pretty.

Excellent song.

J&B and Floyd,

I really picked up on the FJ connection with the fist strains of the intro! IT's a beautiful tune that you really did a nice job updating! Wow what a wonderful job on the vocal Janice ( and Fj also). Bud you produced this in pro style once again!

Thanks, TB

Thank you Herb. Glad you liked it. Sometimes remixes work for us and other times, well … smile

Glad you liked it. We got lucky with that fiddle solo eight years ago and left it alone smile

Regarding the vocal arrangement. We appreciate your thoughtful comments. We’ve listened to this version off and on for eight years are are quite used to it by now. smile Plus it’s on an album release of Merrit/floyd jane tunes so changing it would be outa the picture at this point. The proverbial fork has been stuck. smile

Thanks Nigel. I was always a bit conflicted about the banjo so thanks for mentioning it.

Such an excellent mix, Bud. You surround those amazing vocals with such interesting accompaniment, and my listening can concentrate on any one of them at any time.

Such a good write. Way to go, Kollab Kids.


Thank you Marty! An all acoustic approach would seemingly be easy due to our bluegrass years but it has its own challenges so we are happy you liked it.

I suspect I heard this before, but I can barely remember my own songs.

Great vocals, excellent arrangement (I like how you held off introducing the banjo), but it's the lyrics that get me on this song.

That's one heck of a write. laugh

Hi Folks ...

I was almost positive I commented on this song yesterday - apparently not. Man, when ya get old, the circles your brain goes in aren't always perfectly round!

That was a real sweet listen. Loved the lyric! Of course, Janice's voice is a big plus. And that Jane guy was pretty dang good when he showed up.

Nice job!

Alan

Outstanding mix.

That is greatly appreciated Mario. That line came while sitting on the porch on a stormy morning. And floyd wrapped it in a lot of goodness smile

I love the acoustic sound. Fiddle is a nice touch. Fine performance and production.

"If you're hanging 'round to see if I'm going to fall apart
Way to go, good job, you're off to a damn good start"

Love that couplet.

Good song, guys. This sounds much better than what I have listened to live in North Texas, where a lot of Americana gets played. Sometimes live is better, sometimes not. Classic lyrical theme.

Janice is a better vocalist than most. I imagine this song will get picked up sooner or later.

This is a prime example of what can come out of BIAB.

Cheers,

Billy

Thank you. … a bunch. Everything we have learned about songwriting has sprung from our collabs with floyd over the years.

Glad the banjo worked for you.

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!
