Listen:  You Ain’t Goin’ Nowhere

Band In A Box has a feature called Real Drums. They hired some live players to play beats and variations, added some fills and set it all up so you could scale it, tempo-wise, at least to a degree. The results can be very good, as long as you follow the limitations of the concept.

Here is one song where it worked well. It’s an old Bob Dylan song, recorded by the Byrds. I used the arrangement from my acoustic trio, Summerfly. it gave me a chance to play some slide and sing some harmonies. Both bass and drums are from BIAB. I play rhythm, slide and sing.
