"I’ll help you with the other one, it’ll be easy
All you gotta do is stay away from me"
HA! Love that line! And the super catchy chorus - every time I listen to this it sticks in my head for hours. A solid write.
Stellar mix. Nice tight band. Cool guitar work from the boy from Naples... Janice shines - of course.
(Thanks for letting me be a small part of this)

What's not to enjoy about the PG music All-star band: authoritative axe by Tommyad, killer vocal by Janice, sweet harmonies by FJ, and a fun write. It's all here in this sweet treat!! Take care. Greg

You guys make such a great team.
Great story,great music, great vocals.
Thank you one and all.
Rob.
Thanks Rob. We are happy that you liked this somewhat different production. J&B Janice, Bud, Tommy, Floyd: Well, not much more to say than another great number.
Harmonies, style, lead breaks, mix and more: All wonderfully put together. Really enjoyed the number. I especially like Tommy's unconventional lead and Janice's "pitch bends". Guenter "....Janice's "pitch bends" Very cool and thoughtful of you to mention that Guenter  We appreciate you! J&B So many cool songs to listen to so little time. So glad I am taking time out to listen to this wonderful collaboration. Good job guys.
Thanks Joanne!! J&B

Hi there Janice & Bud + Tom & Floyd.
Great song.
Super performance from Janice, as usual.
I liked the way you managed to work in some rock and blues and yet still retain a country feel to this one.
Very professional all round. Well done team.
ROG. Thank you ROG. As Bud says "you can take the girl out of the country but you can't take the country out of the girl!" Janice Janice, Bud, floyd and Tom,
I like the harmonies for "made it from the get go etc" yeh, very much!
nice "off the wall" solo, Tom.
Young Janice makes singing sound so easy, as usual!!
All in all a great JBfT production!!
Alyn Thanks Alyn! Oh if Janice and I were really young. I'm likely one of the oldest members on this board....but I my 12 years younger wife is the eternal child. As she says "never grow up -- it's a trap!"

Hi Janice, Bud, Tommy, floyd! Yep! It worked for me all the way from the intro to the outro. This is definitely showcase collaboration material at its absolute best. If this song was a colour, it would have to be 'sparkling gold'; no question about it. Also, congratulations on coming up with such a great hook! My favourite rhyme was bridge/baggage. After I heard it, I sat here thinking, "I wonder why can't I think of rhymes like that. That's really good." Immediately after that thought swept through my head, I found myself wondering how bridge/garbage would have worked in the same place. I didn't ponder that for too long, though, because then I refocused on the song  It's such an excellent musical journey that you've all created. And so very well presented in every way - Janice's and floyd's vocals, Tommy's guitar work, and Buds arranging and mixing. "BIAB made me do it"!!!! LOL. Ain't that the truth. So many genres of composing possibilities and so few hours in a day. OK ... I'm heading back for my fifth listen now! All the best to everyone, Noel Thanks Noel. We always enjoy hearing from you and having you complement a lyric is very meaningful to us. BiaB + collabs equals a heckuva lot of musical joy! J&B

Guenter Rock and Roooooooll ☺ This is a genre I grew up with and you have nailed this one. Great solo from you, Tom, Janice... You sing with an attitude, Floyd, vocals match better than ever. Bud... Great production, great song. My respect for the fab four V2 ☺ Fred Thank you Fred. Bud worked hard to get the "attitude" feel from me. It's not "really me" but it was fun! Janice Thanks to everyone who commented on the wild guitar lead. I was having trouble with the fact that it was so unconventional, but Janice straightened me out by explaining that it mirrored the singers emotions. I also would like to bring attention to the arrangement where Bud used snare in the verses and side stick in the choruses which is very unconventional but worked perfectly. Great job on the lead and background vocals and thanks for the opportunity to participate. Tom Thanks Tom. I used the stick on the refrain because I wanted something soft to let the vocals a carry the hook. I'd have preferred a shaker but couldn't find one I liked. Thanks again for that guitar. It wouldn't have worked without it. Bud
