The Man I Love

Janice and Bud kindly agreed to collaborate on a blues track. I had a blues written by Leon called the Woman I Love which following a quick change of sex became The Man I Love.
The vocal is absolutely stunning and a superb example of blues singing. It was beautifully recorded by Bud and just dropped straight into the mix.
Once I received it I was in a bit of a panic not sure how I could do justice to the quality of Janice's performance. Anyway here it is and I hope I have appropriately showcased the vocal.

The Band

Vocal Janice Merritt

I played various guitars and the solos

Leon Sewell wrote the lyrics

The Man I love


Well, the man I love, he can make me feel so bad
Yes, the man I love, he can make me feel so bad
Sometimes I feel like that man gonna drive me mad

He got me thinking I can’t do nothin’ right
Baby’s got me thinking I can’t do nothin’ right
He always blames me whenever we fuss and fight

You know, the man I love he can make me feel so small
The man I love he can make me feel so small
Sometimes I wonder if he cares for me at all

The man I love he can make me lose my mind
That man I love, he can make me lose my mind
Oh, but when he’s good, he’s the best you’ll ever find

Sweet! Through and through.

What an amazing thing that we (on this forum) get to hear one of the best living blues singers - on a regular basis.

A bunch of nice "singing guitar" happening in this, Peter...

Nice mix. The drums sound great! Nice job of bringing the organ out, too..

Blues. Oh, yeah. Sweet.

Hats off to you Peter, Janice and Bud. Some great singing on this, Janice. Great voice. Truly enjoyed the track as well. Ha! I think this must be the kind of blues that the blues plays when it wants to hear the blues. Good job!

Hi Peter,
I enjoyed this, besides Janice’s great singing, the blues package came together with that Organ,, now I was no longer just ‘listening to the song, I was ‘visualizing it, right there, at the club, smoky and whisky laden. Did it for me.

Tips in the jar....that reminds me of our bluegrass band days. We'd say any tip will get you a song -- except Rocky Top or Orange Blossom Special will cost you $5.

Thanks!
