Styles Disk #15 : Nashville Country Styles for Band-in-a-Box
Introduction and Overview
As usual, we paid a lot of attention to your requests for Country styles as posted
in the PG Music Forum - Styles wishlist. We enlisted Nashville session player
Mike Harrison to assist with our latest styles disk featuring these 22 great new
contemporary and classic Country styles.
Most of the styles use 5 instruments and many feature multiple guitar sounds
which were inputted from a MIDI guitar controller. Some of the styles cross
over into the Pop/Rock genre. Other highlights are: sparse and uncluttered
contemporary Country ballads a la Shania, Judds and GeoJones; classic Country
shuffles; an up-tempo fast pickin' guitar style; a drivin' Cajun style a la
Buckwheat Zydeco; contemporary Country Rock a la Judds or Shania; a train
beat style a la Vince G.; a Country honky-tonk style a la Hank Jr.; a Rockabilly
style a la Dwight Y.; a Hillbilly Country blues rock style a la Marty S. and much
more. ALL of the solos that are included in the demos (middle chorus) are auto-
generated by Band-in-a-Box. Only the melodies are composed by musicians.
More detailed information about each style is available by pressing the Memo
button of the Demo tune. Many of these Demo tunes were saved with some
added reverb, chorus and panning - mainly on the guitars. The Demo songs for
these styles follow the same naming convention as the styles themselves. So, for
example, the DEMO song for C_Cajun.Sty
is C_Cajun.Mgu.
