Kevin, Thanks for the kind words. Tom

Well done.

Scott, Glad you liked it. Tom

There's soooooo much to love about this..... from the lyrics to the strumming acoustics that are laying down the groove, to the superbly crafted lyrical phrases..... oh yeah, and that steel guitar playing.

My first thought when I heard the steel guitar was...OMG, I gotta know what RT that is. You need to call Peter G and make a deal to get some of YOUR playing into the real tracks that come with future versions.

Absolutely loved it.

Edit: still letting it play as I do other things.... love that chord at 3:14 I was expecting a key change but you resolved it nicely to the same key. Wasn't expecting that. Nice
Herb, I was glad you got to hear this one. It's right up your alley. Thanks, Tom

"I'm one of those cats that if I hear a sad song, it makes me feel good in some way."
Chris Stapelton

"...feels like I’m stuck inside some old country song."

You simply either get this style of country or you don't.

In 1969 in grad school the closest place to get a beer was a sawdust floor cinder
block honky tonk a ways down the road and across the county line from our "dry"
county. In spite of being into blues rock I learned to love "tears in your beer" songs
at this place and it has never left. Janice learned it from her mother and daddy.

When it's done right like this song it will, as I keep saying, rip the paint right off of
your heart. We need more of this...country that is heartfelt and has soul and speaks
to the trials and tribulations of everyday life.

Yep, we like it and Janice was DELIGHTED to be asked to play a small role in it.

I couldn't find a single nit if I spent three weeks trying. Its a wonderful production
that hits the target square on the head in ALL aspects!

Another fantastic song Tom. You have done it again with a great recording, instruments, mix and vocals (and of course Janice's touch). You have such a great feel for everything that you do and it's always a pleasure to hear what you come up with next. As far as traditional country goes, I haven't heard any better (even George Jones). I enjoyed it!

Tommy,

Your stuff is becoming pure professional. I never feel like I am listening to a demo. I feel like I am listening to the radio.
