Red Dress Baby I am ready I been workin all week long It’s time to go out dancing bout time we get it on I got a big fat Michigan bankroll Wrapped in a rubber band So get a move on I’ll come in there and give you a helping hand You sure do like to tease me I love it when you come on strong Man it sure gets hot in here when you put that red dress on Let’s go down to the Double Duece they blow the roof right off that place Last week they ate all the furniture Don’t worry girl I’ll keep you safe It gets a little wild at times they’re the hottest band in town But they don’t hold a candle to you Cause you’ll burn the whole joint down You sure do like to tease me I love it when you come on strong Man it sure gets hot in here when you put that red dress on

Love the groove happening on this one, Tom.
Nice changeup at 2:36!
Good vocal and great guitar work throughout, especially liked the solo and that little lick you played at the end.
Totally pro all the way, loved it!
Best to you and yours for Christmas.

Hi Tom,
A lovely swinging song!
Some challenge to use that Boogie style, but you did it very cool.
Good vocals, funny lyrics and I agree on all Dave said about the solo.
Nice days!

Whoa! This kicks some serious rear end! GREAT vocals and lead guitar work. Had to go back and relisten to the steel once I saw that was you. Wow, that's nice, too, and subtle, which I like. Neat the way the lyrics lead into the instrumental breakout ("sure gets hot in here..."). Now, about that bankroll...Ha! Great job, thanks for sharing!

"Honkytonk, Jukejoint, Roadhouse, Swing Shuffle Boogie Rockin Country Blues." I love it when you talk like that, Tom. LOVE THIS!! A fun romp. The kind of song that I'd see on our songlist and couldn't wait until the leader counted it off. Love the syncopation at around 2:30. Great band, terrific singer, and it gets everyone out of their seats to slap the floor with their feet.

Tommy,
Dang now that’s a lot of fine. Excellent production—crisp and clean. Good write with some nice details and specifics. Terrific BGVs. Love the solo and instruments part. Another outstanding tune from you. You make this songwriting thing look easy.

There are songs that announce from the first note that you're going to be in for a fun ride. This is one of those songs. Hot band, burning guitar, excellent vocals, solid write, clear mix... it's all there. Fun fun fun!

Wow, Tom, the red dress ain’t the only thing HOT! You are cooking on this one.
You said, “This one’s a Honkytonk, Jukejoint, Roadhouse, Swing Shuffle Boogie Rockin Country Blues”
Yeah man ALL our wheelhouse genres.
We can just see the roadside joint and smell the beer from here. 😊 I
It is clear that you’re having fun in your vocals and your guitar and pedal steel sound like they’re jumping with joy.
Your always great mix is hittin' the note and that piano gives a shuffle edge.
The entire package sparkles with goodness.
Loved it!

Tom,
Perfect Production and Mix. (your mixes outshine everything else around).
A good HonkyTonk write. Nicely sung.
Very much enjoyed your guitar work.
Nice steel (always jealous that you can do that).
Good Listening.
(I did want it to be just a bit faster)

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!
