Wow, you must have done a lot of listening to get all the way down to Roll Daddy Roll (LOL)! It is all in that beat! That beat/backing track was composed and recorded by Rockit! (Rob Leach) for folks to jam guitars to. I cut and spliced it to make it longer and then added lyrics, guitar and vocals to it to round it out, but the soul of that tune is all Rob. West Texas Girl was derived from another Rob L composition called 1:09 (it was 1:09 in length). I used Band-in-a-Box to make it a full song -- but the original 1:09 still has more soul! I lost the recording tapes to that one, so I might re-create it back to its more original state.

I use BIAB a lot (that fiddle from Won and Lost is BIAB!), but I still do things organically, too. I hope you stick around, you have talent and perseverance (you put out a whole CD!) -- I think the folks around here like your stuff. Post one song at a time over in the MP3 forum and you'll gain a bunch of followers.
