Here is a smooth jazzy blues featuring Janice Merritt. This one came together really quickly as everything just seemed to drop into place. We hope you enjoy it.

SWEEEEEEET!! Tom's guitar playing is amazing. It hits me like a nice glass of Scotch whiskey, and when Janice's vocal comes in, it's time for a chaser! Really great stuff! Works on every level. I sure wish I could play guitar like that. Great job guys! Take care. Greg

This is about as real as it gets. Janice is certainly the right choice for the blues and I'll plus one all of Greg's comments.

Hi Janice and Tom, Magnificent music! I'm a real fan of a 12/8 time signature. I love the lilt it brings to the groove. I have to say that both of you have worked this time signature with expertise and aplomb. The song is as good as anything I've heard, ever: top class performances, shining production, incredibly well written. Yes indeed, magnificent music  All the best, Noel

Tom/Janice,
Perfect.
Not a single thing out of place. Beautiful lyrical guitar. A vocal that then TOPS it. A solid write. Excellent production. Excellent mix. Like the last one, this sounds like a well-oiled band captured at their best in the best of studios.
It doesn't get much better than this.
Perfect.

Hi Tom & Janice ...
Now, was that fabulous or what? We echo everything said by all the previous reviewers. Perfect voice and guitar for the style and the song is so well written. Dare we say "Musical masterpiece"? I think we'll take that dare ... "Musical Masterpiece"!
Super sweet!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hi Janice and Tom,
This is a very cool song! Professional sound too.
The vocals and guitar are outstanding. We also noticed that very functional B3 organ!
