It can happen to the best of us, Marty.
I can always tell when you and Dave are enjoying yourself. You sing with a smile.
It sounds like the band are in my room.
Good one.

Bluesy version of a protest song. Great song, great singer, great guitarist, great band. You've used a rather unusual rhyme scheme (at least for me) that works fantastically for the song. I think that's one of your best  ![[Linked Image - Only viewable when logged in]](https://www.pgmusic.com/forums/images/icons/default/thumbs_up.gif) Thanks, Brain. You always ask me to check your lyrics and yet I think you're one of the best lyricists I know, so it's extra special seeing your comment on mine. You two gentlemen certainly can make some fabulous music. Dave smokes the strings while you put a mean bass line perfectly in place. And your vocal ain't too shabby, either! Hard yo go wrong with a power Blues number. Nice - seriously.
I paid off all my credit cards last year. I was almost $19,000 in debt with those things. Now, I owe a grand total of $87.00 on my credit cards.
Really nice!
Alan Thanks, Alan. So now you are a fresh target for those looking to take another piece. This song is oozing all kinds of goodness- in the style, the lyric, the RT’s and yours and Dave’s performances. “All they are is a runaway car careening off the track. I'm belted in here with no way to steer.” Yeah! Dave’s solo is smoking hot. We were thinking of a Kenny Wayne vibe when listening and then saw the vid had a strat guy that kinda looked like him. And the vid images nail the narrative. Your vocals are standout and the vocal tag was cool. Nice mix and arrangement also. Simply a great package. Enjoyed it! J&B Thanks, you two-who-are-one. Yeah, first thing I did when the new BiaB came out was check out the new Styles. This one grabbed me and said write me. Dave joined in and made it soar. Kenny Wayne --yeah, he's outstanding guitarist, too. Special thanks for all your kind words. It can happen to the best of us, Marty.
I can always tell when you and Dave are enjoying yourself. You sing with a smile.

Good one.
Vic Thanks for inviting us all in your room, Vic. Yeah, the best of us are probably the main (easier) target, although the worst of us wouldn't hold back from taking from each other.

You need to spend, spend, spend. I wonder what would happen if everybody only bought necessities for one week?
Cool song, spot-on lyrics, and an electrifying guitar. Right on, Brother Marty!

Marty & Dave, Unfortunately that is the reality we live in. Strong warning message wrapped in amazing music with some bittersweet humor. Excellent playing both bass & guitar. Vocals - perfect. Mix is super clear. Good job on the video, feel sad for the guy in the can. Enjoyed my listen and thank you for sharing. Misha. P.S. Missed your team. Have a lot of catching up to do

Maybe there are two problems more threathening to our species than overpopulation: money and politics. Marty & Dave, Unfortunately that is the reality we live in.

Very cool groove to this tune Marty. I agree with Dave would be very cool to play over. He did a great job. Excellent vocal and of course bass runs really made the groove.

What a rhythm! What a bass player! What a guitar player! What a chord progression! Love the instrument selection, the piano and the percussions are just perfect! I am so amazed by your creativity, whatever the style, there's another smash hit from your jukebox. And the lyrical output hits home also, we are just pieces in someone else's game. I love how your vocal interprets the message so vividly. Wish there was a backdoor out of this evil plan. Those guys on the backseat look really scary You and Dave, or should I say brothers Marty & Dave King are true entertainers, smiling even through the darkest waters. Enjoyed every beat. Janne

Yeah, it would be fun to play those changes all day with you two. I often think it would be cool to have a song (probably an instrumental cuz why use words) with both you and Dave. What a rhythm!

Janne Thanks, Janne. Of course you get it. Yep, it's someone else's game. But I sure do like to play our own little games with the folks who really matter --like here. Ai really consistently comes up with some wonky images; wonder if they program them that way on purpose. Thanks again, my friend. Great one guys. I just loved this one. That is about all I can say!
Very excellent in everything dudes. Quite the treat. Awesome playing and lyrics as always. Thanks, David. Nuf Sed was a bartender in Boston known for his succinct style of ending arguments in his establishment. I also like what you said after saying that is about all you can say. Thanks, David. Gotta go hear the one you just posted.

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!
