I’d really like some Western swing drum, rhythm guitar, bass and rhythm piano tracks. The current ones just don’t get it. Would also really love some Western swing non pedal steel guitar.

Has anyone made User tracks of these?

Love western swing. Have always found the supplied RealTracks adequate to MY needs, but than again I'm not really a western swing aficionado.

The "Ray Price" reference is a nice reference for the developers though.

Looking forward to the next launch...

Bring up any of the Western swing styles and solo the tracks. In the guitars especially, there is no swing. Plus WS drumming and bass playing is not Jazz, it is a straighter dance style. Listen to any Bob Wills or any good Texas WS band. Totally different groove.

Also pedal steel is too smooth. Get a good player like Jeremy Wakefield or Eddie Rivers to record non pedal steel. Swings WAY harder!
