Another testament to you guys versatility. Top it off with all the feel and fun emoting from your songs; to the stunning vocals of Janice; the magic mix by Bud - This song has all the beauty of one of those "to die for" lemon meringue pies featured on the cover of "Southern Living" magazine.

Team, great, fun lyrics, accompanied by a a pretty outstanding melody.
The bass part has been masterfully tailored to enhance the feel of the sing.
And scat is a great way to deliver too!
Thank you! Glad you liked it and thanks for mentioning the bass track. As a long time acoustic bass player Bud can’t help cutting and splicing the bass RTs! J&B

Good sounding backing with tidy guitars on top.
Cheers

Hey, hot threesome,
that's really smoking..
Aside from the fact that this is my kind of music anyway, this one is especially nice, great, ouztstanding - simply love it - needless to tell you that it's already on my playlist !
Janice, you're a real scat cat, Bud, it sounds as good as always when you're involved and, Peter, yes: what you played here could as well be played by Slowhand himself.
But the whole thing leaves me with a serious question: Is ther anything Janice couldn't sing?
So good, so good !!!!
Cheers,
Stefan Hey Stefan, you made Janice smile big...that was a very generous comment. There very few genres of music that we don’t listen to so I guess that plays a role for sure. And Janice has long admired Jazz and Big Band scat singers. Glad we got around to trying it. Thanks! J&B

Janice and Bud,
Really good to hear your stuff—been a bit too long. Y’all are so clean and crisp with your sound—just a pleasure to listen to. Nice arrangement, nice vocal, nice . . . nice . . . nice, and then some. Sweet stuff!
Humble regards,
Deej

All three of you are at the top of your games. “One take” Janice embraces her natural ability. Peter shows off his complimentary skill and Bud showcases how far his production chops have come over the years. All three of you have spent countless hours perfecting your crafts and have presented them in this top shelf offering. An excellent listen. Very well done! Tom

Nice work on this one, guys! A really interest approach to scatting - I don't think I've ever heard it implemented in a non-jazz tune before. Makes for a really unique and engaging listen. Plus, the mix is superb. Sounds concise and professional. Thanks so much for sharing  Glad you liked the blues rock scat! It’s fun to experiment and mashup genres. And BiaB makes it even more fun. Thanks for mentioning the mix also. We appreciate your support! J&B

I like EVERYTHING about this! The opening guitar is sweet! The groove of the track is perfect. The short drum breaks are well placed throughout. The mix is impeccable - as always. The vocal...flawless...epic...the stuff of legends. "...silly little ditty..." Yeah... right... Stellar, y'all. fj Thank you! Your comments always brighten the day and Janice lit up like a Christmas tree when she read them. You are too kind mr jane - but we will take it!

Wow this is brilliant and to me entirely new ,Scat I had never heard of this.
Honestly no matter what you do and the way you do it, always sounds true pro to me.
Peter Guitar was a stunning addition, along with Janice's vocal and you Bud at the helm.
Another to set the bar higher for us all.
P.S. In a good way of course.
