Suno prompt

A tender country track blending blues with high energy and a swung feel at 125 BPM. The low end is electric bass playing root-note anchored, under an acoustic drum kit with a rimshot-forward snare and sparse dark cymbals. Acoustic guitar carries the harmony, fingerpicked. The arrangement follows verse-chorus. A warm male vocal delivers a restrained and conversational performance. Tape saturation adds texture, with a slapback delay on the vocal. Mixed in a warm and analog style, foregrounding harmonic warmth and melodic lead, built on simple triad chords, leaving a calm and settled atmosphere.

Paste this into Suno's style field. It describes the sound only — adjust anything that does not match what you are after.
