[ LuckyThis song is a random collaboration for the 50/90 songwriter challenge. Doug Haberman provided the lyrics and I did the music. Band In A Box mad it so simple to throw this tune together in about a day. It would have taken me much longer to do a demo of half the quality if I hadn't found this program. This song is done in a traditional bluegrass/country style and uses all Real Tracks. The final arrangement, vocals and mixing was done in Cubase. Tempo: 88bpm Real Tacks Used: 592 Bass, AC, Bluegrass 598 Guit, Ac, Bgrass 589 Banjo, Bgrass 595 Fiddle, Rh, Blg 599 Mandolin, Rh Bgrass 434 Fiddle, Soloist, Bluegrass 436 Mandolin, Soloist, Bluegrass 433 Banjo, Bluegrass (Soloist) Lyrics: (V. 1) Don’t have a butler Don’t have a maid Seen some polo horses But I ain’t never played Be nice to own a Bentley But I’m partial to my truck And every day I wake up grateful… For my good luck (Chorus) I’m lucky and I feel it Cuz I know where I belong I love my old hometown And those good old country songs So many folks are lost out there But I learned right from wrong And I’m luckiest of all… Cuz you came along (V. 2) I’ve been to New York Been to L.A. Too much steel and concrete I could never live that way But the beauty of the countryside Leaves me thunderstruck And every day I wake up grateful… For my good luck (Chorus) I’m lucky and I feel it Cuz I know where I belong I love my old hometown And those good old country songs So many folks are lost out there But I learned right from wrong And I’m luckiest of all… Cuz you came along (V. 3) I was unlucky When it came to love Like a trusty tractor Stuck in the mud Then you walked into my life Now I’m no longer stuck And every day I wake up grateful… For my good luck (Chorus) I’m lucky and I feel it Cuz I know where I belong I love my old hometown And those good old country songs So many folks are lost out there But I learned right from wrong And I’m luckiest of all… Cuz you came along

Good one, Sammy. Well mixed. The BIAB bluegrass RTs really do make putting these type songs together a bunch of fun...
A good set-up in the lyric - goes where it should...
You have a terrific "natural Country" vocal sound. (That makes you even "luckier" still..)
Good job.

Samuel, Great alt. bluegrass song. Outstanding lyrics, performance and vocals. Reminds me a little of the Zac Brown Band, and that is not bad.  Welcome to the forum!! Keep 'em coming. This is one of the hottest genres going right now and you're right on top of it. Keep going.

Very entertaining - fun lyrics with a catchy chorus which you deliver like a natural ,as Floyd said.
I`m enjoying checking out other good songs over there on your SoundCloud site.

Thank you everyone for listening and your comments. I'm really enjoying BIAB and the forums here. Everyone seems to be very helpful and responsive. I look forward to listening to more of everyones creations when i get some free time.
Rob & Anne-Marie this is actually my second post but they were both posted within 24 hours of each other. My other post is titled Tired, Drunk and Stoned.

Sam, a bright and lively delivery. The song has a great vibe, and the mix is particularly good. Not too busy, but not too light-on either.
Great effort.

You nailed this, Samuel! There isn't a thing I would change about this. The composition is incredible, and that chorus is perfectly catchy. The vocal performance too is just perfect. Thanks so much for sharing! Can't wait to hear your next one

Medium tempo bluegrass is not easy to pull off...live or with BiaB.
You did a good job getting those RT's to cooperate and give
a band sound to the project.
And you have a nice fluid voice that weaves around the arrangement
as good BG should.
Oh, and the write ain't shabby either!
Enjoyed it.

Our "Band-in-a-Box® 2019 for Windows®! New Features, RealTracks, and other content!" video is now ready! Get to know all about the newest features in Band-in-a-Box® 2019: Click here to watch...
We have listed a table of contents for this video, you'll see it within the YouTube video description, or by visiting this forum post.
RealBand 2019 - A New Look!
Have you opened up your RealBand 2019 yet? You may notice that we've given it a fresh new look! In fact, there are now 3 different looks to RealBand.

Band-in-a-Box® 2019 for Windows - Choosing to Run 64-bit or 32-bit
We heard you! With the release of Band-in-a-Box® 2019 for Windows we've included the BRAND NEW 64-bit version of Band-in-a-Box®, which works well with the latest plugins and 64-bit OS features! Because not everyone has a 64-bit computer, we include both the 64-bit and 32-bit versions with your purchase - you choose which one to use!
By default, when you install your Band-in-a-Box® 2019 for Windows the 32-bit version will run.
The steps to run the 64-bit version are simple! Just head to your "bb" folder and choose the "bbw64" icon - you'll notice that the Band-in-a-Box® "splash screen" will state "64-bit" as the program opens.
(and if you open the 32-bit version, the "splash screen" will state "32-bit")
Still not certain which version you're running? Within the program, go to Help | About Band-in-a-Box - it'll either state:
Band-in-a-Box® for Windows
Version 2019 (604) <--- the number in brackets is the build number - this will change as new patch updates are released
64 bit application
or:
Band-in-a-Box® for Windows
Version 2019 (604) <--- the number in brackets is the build number - this will change as new patch updates are released
32 bit application
We hope everyone who can is enjoying their Band-in-a-Box® 2019 64-bit version for Windows!
NEW! Style-style-style Additions and Enhancements in Band-in-a-Box® 2019 for Windows!
With over 64 new features and enhancements in Band-in-a-Box® 2019, we've made sure to add to, enhance, and update some of the Style features within the program: StylePicker, StyleMaker, and Song Titles browser within the StylePicker!
StylePicker Enhancements:
-If the style list needs rebuild, it tells you that within the StylePicker, instead of a message that requires a response.
-The rebuild is faster than before by 75%. It takes 1/4 of the time now.
-While the style list is being rebuilt, you can see the progress inside the StylePicker.
-The style list can be filtered by a specific RealTracks/RealDrums/MIDI SuperTracks or RealTracks/MIDI SuperTracks in a certain number range.
-You can filter the style list by a specific Xtra Styles PAK.
-The dialog to select an Xtra Styles PAK has a button to take you to the PG Music website that shows information about Xtra Styles PAKs.
-The StylePicker can list all styles (including N/A styles) in the default display.
-The Set number display is improved, including sort by type and Xtra styles.
StyleMaker Improvements:
-The new MIDI velocity offset allows you to make styles with altered loudness for MIDI tracks.
-Styles can be saved with information like a memo, examples, genres, and more, which will be displayed in the StylePicker.
-You can import information from another style. This is useful when you are making a similar style.
-A style can have a huge number of RealTracks (up to 70!) because the StyleMaker now supports RealTracks multi/medley feature, which allows a single track to have up to 10 simultaneous playing of RealTracks.
Song Titles Browser Enhancement
-We’ve added 300 more song titles including requests from users, so there are now over 10,600 titles.
-The chord density filter is available, and it’s also displayed in the memo.
-The chord complexity filter is available.
