Styles Disk #23: ‘Contemporary Country’ TM

Styles for Band-in-a-Box

Introduction and Overview
Thank you for purchasing Styles Disk #23 – 20 great new ‘Contemporary Country’ styles for Band-in-a-Box.

Note: As these styles use some of the newer Stylemaker features, you must have Band-in-a-Box Version 8.0c (or higher) for
these styles to work properly.

With Styles Disk #23, Contemporary Country, we've continued from where we left off on our original and very popular
Country Styles Disk (#15). Once again, we enlisted the assistance of Nashville session player Mike Harrison.

This set features 20 great new contemporary and classic Country styles with MIDI-input guitar sounds and authentic
piano, bass & drum feels, in a variety of styles; contemporary Country Rock, Ballads, Honky-tonk, Rhythm & Blues, Waltzes,
12/8 and 6/8 styles as well as Classic and Retro Country styles such as Rockabilly & Southern Rock. A 'must-have' addition to
your Band-in-a-Box styles library.

Most of the styles use 5 instruments and many feature multiple guitar sounds, inputted from a MIDI guitar controller.
Many of the styles cross over into the Pop/Rock genre

More detailed information about each style is available by pressing the Memo button of the Demo tune. The Demo tunes
for these styles follow the same naming convention as the styles themselves. So, for example, the DEMO song for
C_NYOUNG.STY is C_NYOUNG.MGU.

We invite you to visit PG Music's home page on the Web at www.pgmusic.com. You’ll find lots of interesting
downloads, demos, magazine and customer reviews, even radio interviews with Peter Gannon who describes many of the
features found in our 38+ programs. Review your favorite products or stop by the Styles wish-list page, where you can request
specific styles or leave feedback and suggestions. Drop in – check it out.

We hope you enjoy these Contemporary Country styles.

Have fun.
