The Man I Love Janice and Bud kindly agreed to collaborate on a blues track. I had a blues written by Leon called the Woman I Love which following a quick change of sex became The Man I Love. The vocal is absolutely stunning and a superb example of blues singing. It was beautifully recorded by Bud and just dropped straight into the mix. Once I received it I was in a bit of a panic not sure how I could do justice to the quality of Janice's performance. Anyway here it is and I hope I have appropriately showcased the vocal. The BandVocal Janice Merritt I played various guitars and the solos Leon Sewell wrote the lyrics Bass, Electric, TexasBluesRockSlow12-8 Sw 060 Guitar, Electric, Rhythm TexasBluesRockSlow12-8Brent Sw 060 Guitar, Electric, Rhythm TexasBluesRockSlow12-8Sol Sw 060 Organ, B3, Background Blues Monday Sw 065 RealDrums BluesRock128 The Man I loveWell, the man I love, he can make me feel so bad Yes, the man I love, he can make me feel so bad Sometimes I feel like that man gonna drive me mad He got me thinking I can’t do nothin’ right Baby’s got me thinking I can’t do nothin’ right He always blames me whenever we fuss and fight You know, the man I love he can make me feel so small The man I love he can make me feel so small Sometimes I wonder if he cares for me at all The man I love he can make me lose my mind That man I love, he can make me lose my mind Oh, but when he’s good, he’s the best you’ll ever find

Sweet! Through and through.
What an amazing thing that we (on this forum) get to hear one of the best living blues singers - on a regular basis.
A bunch of nice "singing guitar" happening in this, Peter...
Nice mix. The drums sound great! Nice job of bringing the organ out, too..
Blues. Oh, yeah. Sweet.

Hats off to you Peter, Janice and Bud. Some great singing on this, Janice. Great voice. Truly enjoyed the track as well. Ha! I think this must be the kind of blues that the blues plays when it wants to hear the blues. Good job! -Carolyne

Hi Peter, I enjoyed this, besides Janice’s great singing, the blues package came together with that Organ,, now I was no longer just ‘listening to the song, I was ‘visualizing it, right there, at the club, smoky and whisky laden. Did it for me.
