Sky King, funky tune! Those guitars sound GREAT, and that break is Neil Young-crazy. Your vocals are wild and you and...just perfect for the tune. Super mix and master. Don't know if you're really going to Alaska, but I'm really liking this song. If you go, I hope you can see Russia from your back porch, 'cause that would be SO cool. My sister lived there with her family for a few years. Her hubby would go back, but it would be without her. So...not happenin'

Hi, David. Funky and loud. David, Gotta ditto the other David's comment. Sounds like any one of several rock bands of the late 70s and early 80s. Nothing, to nitpick on this one. It's all good - with that bag of chips and a bag of pretzels, too! Welcome back! Alan

That guitar riff sounds awesome. Quite a gutsy rocker. I haven't visited Alaska but I would like to. Don't know if I would like to live there in the winter with all that darkness. Cool song.

Cool song .
I was wondering why you missed the meeting and now I know.
We took a family vacation to Alaska before the girls had graduated from school. That's a great place. I'd hate to be there in the winter though. More than 12 inches of snow at one time is something I don't want to deal with as well as temperature much below 25°f. I hear they get multiple feet of snow and temps below zero so...... Not for me. When we got off the cruise ship we ended up staying in Vancouver for 3 nights and explored the city around the historic hotel we stayed in.
We had a great time, met some great people, and saw things many people will never get a chance to see. Expensive trip but you only live once.

Oh, we loved our time in Alaska, and I love this song, David. Hey, if you're moving up there, you'll need your own float plane and a pickup with a huge tank for trips to town for more water. Ironic, huh?
Dang, I like the way you write, and present these gems. No holds barred, and you definitely hold the listeners attention. I'll never tap out, you know. Hey, I won't ask the stupid question why, but you know BiaB still works up there, so keep 'em coming.

Good raw rock'n'roll

North to Alaska - up north the rush is on. In this instance the rush courtesy of the wild man with guitars. That chaos section of guitars is FUN.
Cheers

Wild - but for someone going up into the wilderness, it's quite appropriate.
Love the roughness of your voice, you can be quite a rocker when you need to be.
Enjoyed my listen a lot!

Very cool rocking riff and rolling rhythm. The guitars sound great and the mix is tight. True stadion rocker.
Your voice just gets better, you are really stetching your vocal cords to extreme, Mr. Jagger Snyder!
But please don't move to Alaska, the world needs your music and your attitude!

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.
