Howdy, Hi

Wrote and recorded this in about an hour one Sunday night
and immediately wondered if Janice might like to sing it.
Sent an email to Bud and Janice that same night, haven't changed
a thing except for the frog hair tweaks in volume (1-3 db) recommended
by Bud. Janice's vocal is more than I could have hoped for,
this simple, light-hearted love song soars with her voice carrying
it along. Love working with you guys, there's so much good soul,
good people, good hearts from these south GA folks.
Thanks,
Kenny

Thanks for listening

One Fine Day
© 2017 Kenny Leverett


The nights full of small conversation
I’m here with nothing to say
There’s moonlight
And all the stars are shining
Feel like i’m floating away

Fill my heart lift me up
l’m an overflowing cup
Darling see how you make me this way

Fill my heart lift me up
I say love will be enough
And darling
You’ll see that one fine day

Someday you’ll look out your window
And maybe feel like you want something more
Until then you know I’ll be waiting
Darling
Hoping you’ll open that door

Fill my heart lift me up
l’m an overflowing cup
Darling see how you make me this way

Fill my heart lift me up
I say love will be enough
And darling
You’ll see that one fine day

Janice: lead vocal
Kenny: harmony
Bud: recommending adjustments a frog hair at a time

Good song!
Janice's vocal performance reminds me a little of Linda Ronstadt, very pure with great tone as usual. Nice harmonies too!
Good choice of tracks, slide sounds great.
Good mix too, the "frog hair" adjustments did the trick!
Nice one guys, enjoyed the listen!

Kenny, Janice & Bud,

Loved it! Sounds like a summer song... Excellent vocal by Janice and some really good harmony with Kenny. Excellent production and mix as well.

Great job all!

Bob

What a tune, 44kfl! Definitely wouldn't have thought it only took you an hour to write this - and as always, Janice's vocals are absolutely perfect. I love the groove of this one, and the guitar solos too! Excellent mix as well - wouldn't change a thing Thanks so much for sharing!

Hi Kenny.

A great song with a fabulous feel-good factor.

Yeah, certainly sounds like more than an hour's work to me - boy you must work fast!

Janice could sing entries out of the phone book and I'd like it, but even allowing for that, this one shines through. A wonderful performance which she does so effortlessly.

Super backing, loved the slide and an excellent mix to finish it off.

Good work.

ROG.

"Someday you’ll look out your window
And maybe feel like you want something more
Until then you know I’ll be waiting"

This song is so cute! I absolutely love the lyrics, especially this part! Sometimes the person you want to be with just isn't ready for that sort of a commitment. You know it's true love when the other person is willing to wait until they are ready.

Keep up the great work!

Thanks Dave,

Ronstadt is one my favorites, and she does sound that good!
glad you thought the mix sounds good,
appreciate it

Kenny

Bob,
appreciate your kind words here and on soundcloud.
sounds like a summer song to me too

Kenny

Thanks Deryk,

Please don't think I meant it as a brag that it only took an hour,
I've been writing for many years, sometimes you get lucky and
some of your best songs just come quickly out of the air.
Thanks for the nice words about the mix.

Kenny

Kenny & Janice,

Super.

The rhythm/cadence of the chorus is exceptional - catchy in the best way! Nice write.

The band does a good job of being "just right". The slide is a good choice...

Sounds to me like Janice is "gettin' her Bonnie Raitt on". Just one more tool in an incredible kit.

Excellent job, y'all.

floyd

Well that was a fun listen! You know those songs where the first time you hear them, you feel like you know it really fast...there ya go. Not like it's been done before, like it just feels right.

Bright little tune and that I really liked. It shows how not over-thinking things can be a great asset at times!

Now, about the singer...I'll just say a perfect choice. I will "click on" every song I see her name attached to Which is getting to be a fair amount of clicks these days! There is an obvious reason for that. Really well done!

This has a really cool almost gospel style feel too it, with country mixed in.

I really dig the vocals by Janice and the all around production.

Great piece of work.

Hi 44kfl, Great collaboration between you and Janice! Fantastic work with the progressions. Well done!

well after all these very positive comments, we will add a few lines:
super production!
super vocals!
Your contributions never disappoint ;-)

Rob & Anne-Marie

Hey, Bud here, Janice said she was "overwhelmed and humbled to be mentioned in the same sentence as Linda Ronstadt." She is very appreciative of your comments!

Bud

Thanks ROG,

I agree about Janice's voice, she can sing anything and make it better

thanks for the kind words

Kenny / Janice

Great feel good tune - agree with all the positive comments preceding this one.
Janice sounds great and the harmonies are very nice.
Melodic and beautifully produced - great work all.

Peter

Kenny you should be very proud of this one! Super lyrics, great groove, outstanding backing tracks topped off with one very fine outstanding vocal.

Loved it.

Thank y'all very much for commenting on my vocal. Kenny really invited me in on a great song!

Janice

Hey You Two...

What a great song and terrific production. Not sure what you "frpg-haired" but this sounds super.

Great song, Kenny. Love the lyric, melody and backing tracks, particularly the slide guitar. And Janice's vocals are always top shelf. This is another great job by her. Terrific in all ways. Standing "O" for all involved!

Alan & Di

Thank you ROG! The first time I heard the song I realized that the lyric just sings. It was a fun project and I'm so glad you liked it.

Janice

Thanks Ember,

you summed it up perfectly, I don't know how cute it is but I'll take it

appreciate your kind words

Thanks floyd,

I love that chorus and Janice delivers it so well,

I didn't think about Bonnie Raitt but now that you say that, yeah, I hear it

Appreciate your kind words always

how did I miss this til now?

This song has the feel of a classic to me... like something you'd hear on an oldies station for 50 years in a row because it has such resonance with a generation!

Good call getting the Merritts involved! They should change their last name to Midas because everything they touch turns to gold!

But it helps to start with a good song in the first place, and that's surely the case here!

Thank you HearToLearn,

appreciate the very kind words, I think we're all in love with Janice's voice

and I don't think anyone's ever accused me of over-thinking anything .

Great job all involved
Super recording...Loved the 'feel' and performance
Spot on all the way around
great collab

John

Thanks Ember and welcome to the forum!!

Janice

Kenny/Janice, this is a flat out enjoyable tune! having Janice sing it worked great!! As I said on Soundcloud, not enough O's in the word cool for this one! Thanks, Torrey

Always love Kenny's stuff, and always love Janice's vocal!! What could go wrong? Nothing I can hear. Just a great feelgood, groovin' tune. Great job guys!! Take care. Greg

Thanks David,

Comes from that New Orleans style, it's got some gospel feel in there

Appreciate your kind words

Janice, Bud, and Kenny, you've delivered a real winner here. This song has got absolutely everything.

The rhythm section is keeping everything held together perfectly, lot's of drive, and all embraced in a superb set of lyrics delivered with Janice's usual perfection.

Hello, Kenny, Janice & Bud

Very nice collaboration!
Very happy tune.
Wonderful Vocal.
As Dave said, Janice's vocal performance also reminds me a little of Linda Ronstadt, very pure with great tone as usual.
Electric Vintage Piano is very effective.
Enjoyed my listen a lot.

Best regards.
