Janice sounds great as per usual, as do you.

Nice take on an old classic, enjoyed!


Thanks!

Stellar vocal and mix - outstanding instrumentation and love the way the band kicks in for the last minute or so.

Keep these old PDs coming...

Nice recording. Good arrangement. Everybody performs well. I love how the electric guitar kicks in at the end. Nice touch. The doubling of Janice's vocals sound wonderful.

Good collaboration to all.

Give my regards to the BIAB piano player too.

Thanks Marty - the piano player was a nice fit for this one.
Janice always brings out the best in these PD songs.

Peter and Janice:

Really well done—super cover! That piano is so perfect for the tune. Great vocals, great harmonies. And love when the full band kicks in at the end, with that rocking electric guitar solo. Outstanding work!

My best to you both,

Deej

A good breath of modern bringing this oldie to life!

As always love the vocals.
Some hot guitar action to boot.
Arrangement and mixing all spot on.

Standing ovation. Janice, what on Earth is going on with your voice? I thought it couldn't get any better, and now - both in "Emerald" and here - you seem to have gone up yet another notch and broken a few barriers that no-one thought could be broken, in the quality of vocals, yet again.

The arrangement is stunning. Superb surprise at 3:45 or so.

Congratulations.

Love the arrangement. Killer guitar work, Peter. Excellent mix.

Wonderful.

Thank you so much for mentioning the vocal and especially the harmony!

Janice

Thanks for your noting of the piano. The sound is from Logic Pro’s large library - Grand Steinway. The processing is via Waves ClA Unplugged.

Very cool to keep these songs alive. I had never heard this song before. Lovely lyric and backtrack. Loved the vocal Janice. Loved the piano supporting the vocal. Excellent outro Peter. Guitar was very cool. Loved the tone and feel. Well done.

I just sat back in my chair and let this fabulous rendition wash over me.

What a vocal. Oh, that sultry tone!

I was wondering where Peter's guitar was, and then around 3:30, it comes in and kicks my a$$. Wow!!!

The MST was well suited to this one, I think they generally sound a bit better than the piano RT's in the mix.

Team,
Sorry, late for the party.
Excellent take on classic! Stunning arrangement. Peter, amazing guitar playing, outro shines. Janice's vocals and harmony sounds very powerful and natural. Bud, Peter super mix. Enjoyed it! Hmm, I think I should steal that piano smile Thank you for sharing.

Thanks Janne much appreciated.
