I dig it y'all. Very nice. I really like the groove. Well done. The banjo works perfectly and so do the vocals. Thanks! I think I got lucky with that banjo but it was a bear to splice up. B&J, I have been a fan of song of this song for a long time. This version stands up against any that have been recorded in the past. I heard a preview of this, but the addition of the floyd harmony adds a lot. I think this is your best mix/master to date. Each instrument stands on its own. Just the right amount of crispness and low end. Definitely a lesson in how acoustic instruments should be processed. Who knew a banjo could sound so funky. Outstanding work! Oh yeah you too Janice. Tom Well fromr somebody whose mastering I really admire that means a lot. Thanks Tom!

Hey J&B,
Honestly I wasn't crazy about the banjo. But with arrangements everybody's got their own taste and opinion.
The duet is great. Loved it. Oh, and add great job on that mix too Bud!
Josie Thanks Josie. Back in my bluegrass band days...."what do you call 5,000 banjo players on the bottom of the ocean?" "A good start!" I have listened to this a hundred times (preparing to do the harmony).
Every one of them a pure joy...
Bud's artistry with the RT palette.
Janice's incredible vocal.
Joy.
Thanks for letting me be a part of this, guys!
fj Wow, that means a LOT floyd. And a big thanks to you for helping convince me not to shelve the project. I wasn't even planning on backing it up!

I coulda swore I commented on this already..... but I can't find it... I might have clicked off the page.... I've done that before.
I remember writing about the line "If the river was whiskey...." That's in an old Savory Brown song called Louisiana Blues. Savoy had just broken up, and Foghat was the new band that came out of the breakup.... man I loved that song.... and when I went to the Foghat show, their hit song at the time was, "I just wanna make love to you", they didn't really have many other hits, so they covered a bunch of SB tunes and Louisiana Blues was one of them and they jammed it out to fill some stage time.
Your version is cool... nice instrumentation and vocals.

OMG! Wow! this B**c* ROCKS!!!
You guys (and gal) hit a sweet spot as far as I'm concerned. I would put this up there with the best of Zeppelin stealing and re-arranging to create something unique and original. (not that you stole this!)
There is so much energy, I don't know what else to add.

There is so much energy, I don't know what else to add. Surprised to see this one pop up again but glad you found it. I'm glad you liked it....it took me months to warm up to it before I posted it. I guess it was because I'd heard the song by so many artists over the last 50 years that I was worried about "doing it justice." Thanks! Bud Janice and Bud, This is awesome!
