Wildflowers In Springtime Tom (tommyad) did all the heavy lifting on this one. He handled all of the production/mix/mastering, played guitar/steel, created the arrangement and wrote the lyric. Janice created the melody and sings. Bud engineered Janice’s vocal, took the photo and went along for the ride  Thank you Tom for inviting Janice in on this! And thank you forum folks for your time to hopefully both listen and comment.

I've listened to this a few times since I saw the upload a few days ago.
Can't really add to the comments I made over on SC other than to say that this song is one the best you guys have ever done, and you have done a lot of great songs!
Just a very special song, well done everyone!

Janice, Bud, Tom,
Stunning. Beautiful. Perfect.
The song, the production, and the performances - stellar! Top shelf. Radio ready.
This is going straight to the top of the PG Music charts.
Standing ovation.

Janice, Bud & Tom,
This is stunning and beautiful... A crystal clear vocal and arrangement filled with emotion.
There are not enough good things to say about this song...
It's like listening to a combination of Emmylou Harris, Amy Helm & Alison Krauss backed by The Band.
Tremendous!

Beautiful song, winning backing, and honey-smooth voice laying out a lyric that makes me either want to go kiss somebody, or want somebody to come kiss me. Don't fret, Bud. I don't cut in. Misty eyed and smiling here. Thanks all.

Just a very special song, well done everyone! Thanks Dave. Tom and Janice have done several collabs where he hands her a vocal free production and lets her create a melody. All of them have been fun and we are happy you like this one! J&B

Starts with a neo folk feel but soon sounds like something trad Emmy Lou Harris might do. Very nice!

That is just DAMN BEAUTIFUL!!! Some wonderful lyrics, a great arrangement, great vocal, and knockout production! Just got back from a day trip to check out some wild flowers about an hour ago. They were beautiful but paled in comparison to this song! AWESOME!!! Take care. Greg

I knew when I saw the names of who did this in the title that I was going to like this song, before I ever heard it. Three of my favorites working together to produce another fine example of good music.
There is something special about this one. The message, of course is very powerful. The arrangement and mix are spot on. The vocals are very emotive and excellent, as usual. The delivery, and the haunting melody are so compelling and memorable. The mixture of all these things make up a recipe for a most delicious serving of song.
The bar keeps getting raised around this place.
So good!

Really nice. Easily one of the best I've heard from you guys.
Nice production job too on Tom's part.

Hi Jannice and Bud,
I must have missed this post, but here I am... and impressed.
You managed to make a beautiful countrysong with an Irish touch.
Even my wife loves this melancholic song. And I'm always fond of using violins, fiddles or whatever and you did it very nice.
I don't mention your fantastic voicequalities anymore. That becomes boring I'm afraid.
Normally I am not such a lover of steelguitars or all of that kind, but in your song it fits so nice that maybe I'm gonna use it myself.
On Soundcloud I will 'like' this song aswell.
Cheers,
Hans

Tom and Janice ...
This song is the perfect example why we sometimes use the word "sweet" TO COMPLIMENT A SONG. It's well written. arranged, mixed and delivered. It's captivating, endearing and such a treat for the listener. Awesomely awesome! Still smiling after a big sigh of appreciation for this treasure. Wishing all of you the very best.
Alan

I just let this beautiful melody flow over me and saturate through me. Quite lovely. Of course, the vocal matches the melody. I enjoyed all aspects of this production.

Very beautiful folk song, I really like that fiddle, it has that nice mourningful Celtic sound. And on top of that other carefully selected instruments, nice chording, Janice's excellent interpretation and simple touching lyrics…

Hi Jannice and Bud,
I must have missed this post, but here I am... and impressed.
You managed to make a beautiful countrysong with an Irish touch.
Even my wife loves this melancholic song. And I'm always fond of using violins, fiddles or whatever and you did it very nice.
I don't mention your fantastic voicequalities anymore. That becomes boring I'm afraid.
Normally I am not such a lover of steelguitars or all of that kind, but in your song it fits so nice that maybe I'm gonna use it myself.
On Soundcloud I will 'like' this song aswell.
Cheers,
Hans Hans, thank you very much. Janice much appreciates your comments about her vocal and Tom did an amazing job with BiaB and loops to set the stage for his fine lyric and Janice's melody. We appreciate you listening and taking the time to comment. And we are happy your wife likes it! Bud

WOW songwriting right there. A beautiful lyric throughout. A beautiful melody - classic sounding.
Everything about the production is gorgeous. The clarity of the guitar/fiddle/mandolin combination is stunning. An impeccable mix.
The vocal (needless to say) is flawless. And perfectly processed and sitting perfectly in the mix.
One of those songs that, from the first listen, sounds like you've known it all your life.

What a lovely song. Loved the intro and the backtrack felt like it was floating. Janice one of your best vocals. Tom what a beautiful lyric. The song was so professionally done. Well done. Steel was very cool Scott, thank you very much! J&B

Absolutely deserving of all the glowing reviews. That fiddle intro alone catches the breath. Wonderfully tender vocals, lovely thought behind the lyrics... the kind of song that just keeps giving.

Tom and Janice ...
This song is the perfect example why we sometimes use the word "sweet" TO COMPLIMENT A SONG. It's well written. arranged, mixed and delivered. It's captivating, endearing and such a treat for the listener. Awesomely awesome! Still smiling after a big sigh of appreciation for this treasure. Wishing all of you the very best.
Alan You are very much appreciated Al. Our best to both of you. J&B

I just let this beautiful melody flow over me and saturate through me. Quite lovely. Of course, the vocal matches the melody. I enjoyed all aspects of this production. Thanks for saying that. It’s much appreciated! J&B

Very beautiful folk song, I really like that fiddle, it has that nice mourningful Celtic sound. And on top of that other carefully selected instruments, nice chording, Janice's excellent interpretation and simple touching lyrics…
Janne Thanks Janne. Yep, Tom really made that fiddle loop a standout track! J&B

Janice, Bud and Tom,
This is a really stunning work of art.
If this were the Olympics, Tom's 'heavy lifting' would definitely put him in the gold medal position of his weightlifting category. His lyrics, his arrangement, his playing and his producing are stunning. As I listened, everything about this resonated with me.
Equally, Janice's melody is an absolutely wonderful treat as it travels alongside Tom's harmony. It's ups and downs carried me smoothly and felt very, very comfortable on my ears. Like Tom's work, Janice's vocals were also in a gold-medal category all of their own. Every syllable that Janice sang was crystal clear and so very easy to listen to -- Bud, your engineering is superb!
Truly, what a beautiful song!
All the best,
Noel

I'm late in listening to this top notch performance so besides quoting Floyd (I couldn't say this any better) all I can add is WOW this is freaking awesome!"Life moves so fast it passes us by
Lessons that we should have learned
Makes us forget that we haven’t yet
Gone back to the way that we were"
WOW songwriting right there. A beautiful lyric throughout. A beautiful melody - classic sounding.

Band-in-a-Box® 2024 Review: 4.75 out of 5 Stars!
If you're looking for a in-depth review of the newest Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows version, you'll definitely find it with Sound-Guy's latest review, Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows Review: Incredible new capabilities to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs.
A few excerpts:
"The Tracks view is possibly the single most powerful addition in 2024 and opens up a new way to edit and generate accompaniments. Combined with the new MultiPicker Library Window, it makes BIAB nearly perfect as an 'intelligent' composer/arranger program."
"MIDI SuperTracks partial generation showing six variations – each time the section is generated it can be instantly auditioned, re-generated or backed out to a previous generation – and you can do this with any track type. This is MAJOR! This takes musical experimentation and honing an arrangement to a new level, and faster than ever."
"Band in a Box continues to be an expansive musical tool-set for both novice and experienced musicians to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs, as well as an extensive educational resource. It is huge, with hundreds of functions, more than any one person is likely to ever use. Yet, so is any DAW that I have used. BIAB can do some things that no DAW does, and this year BIAB has more DAW-like functions than ever."
