BETWEEN BONAMASSA AND THE KINGS


heat from a 12 bar fire
the horns were blowin jazz
the blues were oozin
outta every move that woman had
ya lost her somewhere
between bonamassa and the kings

screamin, slidin six strings
a bass strong and low
a rhythmic, shufflin backbeat
that never let's ya go
ya lost her somewhere
between bonamassa and the kings


some howlin wolf, a little bb
preachin from larkin poe
albert, freddie, the girl was ready
for some blues with her rock'n'roll
ya lost her somewhere
between bonamassa and the kings

no-no-no no girlie pop songs
no top 10 radio jive
stevie ray vaughan
the thrill is gone
that's what brings the girl alive
she's lost somewhere
between bonamassa and the kings


she knows what's cool and trending
but won't give up control
singin bots and ai slop
no heart, no soul
so she'll stay somewhere
between bonamassa and the kings

hot - a 12 bar fire
the horns were blowin jazz
the blues were oozin
outta every move that woman had

ya lost her somewhere
between bonamassa and the kings


Have at it.

Hi, floyd jane.

Well, now I know how to pronounce Bonamassa's name properly. wink

It's blues played by a hot band with an excellent lead guitarist.

Love it!

Bonus points for a whole lot of name dropping. laugh

Vocal control, you say. Never heard of it. Is that some kind of ProTools thing?

I check the forum often just in case something like this gets posted. My kind of music! You named quite a few of my favorites - for most of my adult life, blues was the only genre I listened to (and played). Great singing, great playing, love the lyrics, a total winner!

Well, you know I'm going to love this! Right up my alley.

Fun write, great groove, and nice playing too, you have come a long way since you started on this adventure. Good tone, phrasing, and note choices, right in the pocket.

Perfect!

Floyd,

Unlike some of the others who've commented, I have to admit to not being a blues girl and yet, I know a good song when I hear one. This was smokin'. Love the character, love the shuffle. Love your expressive voice on it. Great line: "singin bots and ai slop no heart, no soul" I appreciate your artistry.

Hi Floyd,

Love shuffle blues! A really nice lyric. Very creative use of words. But that's what you do. And it so damned good.

You might consider giving that lead guitar guy a raise - he outdid himself.

Everything is A++

nice!!!

Alan

High-class namedropping and a mysterious woman - an excellent base for a blues song. Great grooving rhythm provided by BIAB, the organ fits perfectly. Excellent guitar playing honors the masters. And good vocals show that the thrill is not gone, it has just arrived.

Amazing blues, and if you had written that the solo was by Brent, I'd say "Of course it was Brent".
Really well played, all the right notes and nothing more, with a great tone.

First piano, now guitar – if you keep going at this pace, you won't need BIAB anymore soon.
Floyd the drummer.
Ha!

Floyd, an excellent wordsmith/story teller, arranger, vocalist, and now an outstanding guitarist.
You can do it all my friend.
As usual everything is perfect.
Loved that groove and the song

With just the right amount of delay & reverb....keys to the kingdom.
You've come a long way it a short time...though I've no idea of your real starting point.
I did anticipate a horn section at some point due to the lyric but that was neither essential nor missed.

Wailing on the way out too.

A dance track in the best sense.


Cheers

Brilliant song lyrically and a great production. The theme totally demanded the 3 solos which I 100% enjoyed. Excellent stuff.

YEAH!! Your guitar playing is bringing this to a super high level. And I really like howyou mixed the B3. WOw, what a fun song. Love the feel and your always perfect lyrics. You kow how much I enjoy your vocal, but, man, you really are doing a fine job on guitar. Same FJ gret taste and your tone is engaging. You have a real finesse in playing each note. Bonamassa and the 3 Kings, BB, Albert, Floyd.


Enjoy whatever happens!

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.

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.
