And of course he nails the guitar as per usual. And Janice always sounds great, love that swampy vocal! Good mix and good write too, Bud! Loved it you three, well done. Glad to hear you like Tony Joe. We love the vids of just him and the drummer. And his whomper stomper. 😀 Great that you liked it all. It was a fun revisit. Much appreciate!

OP Janice & Bud Veteran Joined: Dec 2011 Posts: 16,119 GA USA	Originally Posted by TuneMonger Gotta admit I don't know the genre except Dr. John (is he swamp music?) but when he mentioned gris-gris I thought it was cajun food! Sounded good to me, dark for sure, and if Janice is singing I'm there whatever the style of music. Good guitar, too. I googled swamp rock but it was way off base. Definitely different for you guys but I dug it. Good work, team! Thanks! Glad you liked our little adventure. Glad you didn’t eat any gris Gris. 😀 Here’s the best net description we could find of swamp rock. “Swamp rock is a genre originating in the late 1960s that fuses swamp blues, rockabilly, country, and Southern soul, characterized by a gritty, low-toned guitar sound and dark, rhythmic, and funky grooves. Primarily associated with Louisiana and popularised by artists like Tony Joe White and Creedence Clearwater Revival, it captures a rustic, moody atmosphere of the Southern U.S.” Thanks again for the nice remarks.

If Tony Joe White ever decided to ghost‑write a sequel, it would sound a lot like this. “Some Average Mojo” is the kind of track that makes me wonder whether I’ve just stumbled into a sun‑sweated bayou or a vintage‑tube‑lab where every knob is dialed to “just‑right.” The re‑imagining of this ten‑year‑old gem is a masterclass in tasteful over‑drive: fuzz‑laden guitars that bite, a piano that sneaks in like a mischievous river otter, and a new bass line that makes the swamp feel a little wider. The real show‑stopper is Janice’s vocal double‑track—2026 Janice singing with her 2016 self. It’s the sonic equivalent of seeing your younger self pop up at a family reunion, only cooler, grittier, and with a hint of mystic “gris‑gris” luck charm. Her voice, polished by a custom‑tuned Nectar chain, glides over Peter’s unchanged yet freshly‑positioned guitar‑and‑harp combo—a ghostly, time-travel duet that gives the song a haunting, layered soul. Bud's voodoo expertise with all the vintage‑amp, tape‑saturation, and compression wizardry is applied with the precision of a seasoned swamp guide—enough to make the mix feel hot, but not so much that the listener (me) got lost in the mud. The drums, with a snappy new snare layer, keep the rhythm as steady as a rolling thunderstorm, while the lyrical mantra (“just need some average mojo”) feels like a tongue‑in‑cheek prayer you’d whisper to a passing alligator. The lyrics are a charmingly humble plea for just a touch of decent luck, are elevated by the "gris gris" charm. It’s a song that understands the assignment:- to sound vintage, viscous, and utterly authentic. Bottom line:This isn't just a song; it's a sonic gris-gris bag for your ears. It is a masterclass in making "average" feel utterly essential. It’s gritty, it’s glossy, it’s got charm‑laden lyrics, and it proves that a little mojo—average or otherwise—can still make waves. I give it 5/5 (with a side of gumbo). Bravo team. Now, where’s my amulet? Izzy

Birchwood Veteran Joined: Sep 2016 Posts: 2,774 Netherlands, Haarlem	Hi Janice, Bud and Peter, Well, this is something completely different from what I'm used to from you! A dark song, dark (but fantastic) vocals, and fantastic guitar playing from Peter. I searched in Google translate for the meaning of "Mojo" but it came up with "Mojo" in Dutch...? Whatever, as I wrote; a great song, wonderful singing and solo. Liked the lyrics, especially: "met an old woman on the corner i knew she had my answer i saw wisdom behind her eyes she said quit listening to them lies" Janice, I also warned you for those wrong men you always sing about. Now she comes too! Hans Hans Berkhout (Birchwood) https://soundcloud.com/user-296497130

Everything about this production sits really comfortably in my headphones. I can't believe it's been 10 years since this was written. I think that's a pretty clever idea to have a vocal that combines Janice's voice from 2016 with Janice's voice in 2026. Time travel at its best Really nicely done! By the way, I love the opening verse. It's perfect for setting the scene for what follows! Originally Posted by J&B ain't praying for your health ain't praying for my wealth don't want much before I go just need some average mojo The song really has stood the test of time. Congratulations everyone on a terrific job. --Noel Noel, we much appreciate your time to listen and write such a thoughtful review. Those comments are all very meaningful to us.

Of course I know Janice was born with a beautiful voice, but man it is so good --doubled eh? I really dig the bass. A terrific mastering. Peter on theharp! Wow, this is another reawaken gem. Thanks. Love the drudgery feeling in this one. The average mojo from you 3 far exceeds the average attainable by most everyone else. Thanks for sharing it. Thank you for the kind review Marty. We appreciate it all and your mention of the bass is especially meaningful. I’d be embarrassed to to say how much time we spent trying to get it to sit with the grit. 😀 Thank you!

I do a lot of character voices - 32 on one tape I did for a beloved back in 1980 - and one character I created in 74 is called Swampbucket José, a near-in, downloose and intasight cowboy - and he'd probably comment something like this: "If any hootowl, bushwhacking, sidewinding outlaw was to say anythin' disheartening 'bout this song, well I theorise that in ma opinion I calculate that I think that I have a high-pothesis that that would make no nevermind on account that it's ma kind of music!" This is him: Attached Files (Click to download or enlarge) (Only available when you are logged in) SJ-CThill05nobadgeDC06trim1.jpg (12.44 KB, 31 downloads) Swampbucket José Some favourite Waoist Adages: #1: Play on the Way. #13: Ask not for whom the flower blooms, it blooms for you. #58: Bring consciousness to it. #63: On the road to effortlessness, effort must be made. #92: Be Love Now, the rest will come on its own.

You should consider that more often. You can find my music at: www.herbhartley.com Add nothing that adds nothing to the music. You can make excuses or you can make progress but not both. The magic you are looking for is in the work you are avoiding.
