Peter, Janice, Dave and Bud, Congrats on creating this excellent sounding tune! This sits in upper 5% of everything I heard at Showcase this year in my book. There is absolutely nothing to add except for applauds.
Thank you for sharing!
Misha.

Hey Peter and gang, This song is really great! Excellent. I want to apologize for being so absent from the forum. Also, I will be candid that this part of the post is kind of a generic “form letter” to my old and new forum friends. In brief, work is very hectic right now and I am having a hard time keeping up with the forum and even writing new songs. There is also a lot of new material hitting the boards—more than I can listen to and reply. People are on a roll! Instead of backing away from the forum I want to stay involved by just giving the equivalent of a “like” as opposed to full-fledged commentary. This way, I can just keep listening, and enjoying and reply with a simple LOVE IT or something like that. I do listen, love your stuff and really want to continue following those who are so dedicated to encouraging others, even if it is only with one word. Hope this makes sense, thanks for your artistry and forgive my brevity going forward with massive time constraints. Also forgive me if you see this message more than once until I know I have covered all my bases. Peace!!

Peter what an awesome collaboration. This is a very cool song. Love the reference to Janice's vocal bending the notes. What a very cool way to describe her vocal. Such a great feel. Nice to hear you Bud playing the bass. Very cool indeed. The real fun part for me was hearing you and Dave playing together. You both have very distinct playing styles and the sound so good playing back and forth to each other. Very cool

Heavenly. I particularly love it when Janice sings along with herself. Terrific work by all involved.

This is a nothing short of superb production and achievement. Hats off to everyone involved, particularly Mrs Merritt ... stunning singing, like if it were something straight off an old country record (Tammy Wynette or someone like her). But well done ALL - what a team, what an achievement (loved the instrumental solos in between, too - this is what I call teamwork!).

Nicely done, everyone! I love the way it starts out on acoustic guitar, and ends up an all-rocker. Thanks David. Peter

Hi y'all,
what a treat that is !!!!
I may be the only one on this forum who didn't know the song, but I'm definitely one of those who think that this is just marvellous all the way.
Such a great collab of some of the most experienced forum members... Don't know when I last heard a Dobro (and then played so well), I'm a fan of your (Peter's) and Dave's playing anyway, finally had the chance to hear Bud grabbing his old upright bass - as dusty as it may have been: it didn't sound dusty at all.
Well, I've said it so often before: Janice, I adore your singing !!!!!!
So many fine musicians together - AWESOME.
And the productions sounds as clear and brilliant as can be - congratulations on such an outstandingly fine piece of music.
Regards,
Stefan

As usual - it's the human elements that make BIAB shine. Excellent effort al around. The Bull Fiddle sounds well loved and well played. Thanks Ray it was a coup getting Bud to play. Peter

Great stuff. While I'm listening to Janice I'm thinking Rita Coolidge - love those mellow tones. Impressive guitar work too! Thanks I'm sure Janice will appreciate the comparison. Peter

Wow - you all did a fantastic job here This is a rock solid collaboration. I loved Janice's vocals, and the mix work and instrumentation is gorgeous. It sounds lush and flows beautifully. You managed to completely modernize this tune despite it being over a hundred years old. You should all be proud of this one - thanks so much for sharing!
Cheers, Deryk

Hi Team,
Superb band all round.
Fabulous playing, Janice on top form as always and the whole thing wrapped up in a tight and clean mix.
And it's a blues - what's not to like?

Ok...I don't think you're supposed to smile as I just did during a blues song. I just REALLY liked it. There was SO much I didn't see coming. It was a combination of what was being done AND how it was executed. Fantastic! The lead and backing vox were sa-weet! Those guitars I were to die for! Tasty! My goodness, those tones! Sersiouly, those tones! I could listen all day! The bass sounded awesome AND I think Bud maybe hinted at a line for a song...something about "dust so thick I could write my name in it." The man has a brilliant way with words. (Even when argueing that very statement, his phrases and word choice are spectacular ;)) Dobro, Slide, Lead guitar...I wish I had THAT sound! I could hear Bud's influence on this. That's a good thing. A VERY good thing. I expected A LOT seeing the names involved. Even with high expectations; I was blown away. Really nice job! Off to smile some more. Carron, Well that made me smile as well. Thanks for the wonderful review, appreciated by all of us. Peter

When I was 18, I suddenly realized that blues was the number one music for me. I went into a record shop and bought a double album blues collection. Side one track one was Make Me a Pallet on the Floor. Never forgot it.
This track sounds like Bonnie Raitt with a passel of great SoCal session players. Excellent stuff!
