Happy new year, Janice & Bud

Very nice old blues. What a fun tune.
I entirely agree with Kenny.
Great song with strong distinctive vocal gives this a special quality.
Jumpin' song, so good, the mix is excellent.
I neither haven't heard the original or your first version but this one is hot!
Enjoyed my listen a lot.
Best wishes for this year.

I had a listen to this a couple of days ago but didn't have time to comment. Never heard it the first time around so can't comment on the remix.

What a fun track! I love the way Janice phrases, I might have mentioned that before a time or two smile Good stuff!

J&B, This does have the jump feel to it. Expertly sung, expertly mixed and a fine lyric video just about sums it up. Bud, your mixes have made a lot of progress in a short amount of time. Great work as usual. Tom

We likely use the term "as good as it gets" too often.

But... this is...

As good as it gets.
As good as it gets.
As good as it gets.
As good as it gets.
As good as it gets.
As good as it gets.
As good as it gets.
As good as it gets.

Fun listen, and (as usual) a great vocal in a clear mix.

Plus, it's nice getting a bit of history behind the song. grin

Vocal control, you say. Never heard of it. Is that some kind of ProTools thing?

It's exciting to imagine Band-in-a-Box playing a central role in the perpetuation and practice of music from "bygone" eras. It would make many of us BIAB users musicologists as well as musicians.

And thanks for introducing me to Mr. Oscar "Buddy" Woods, whom I had never heard of until I visited your post. Just when I think I've heard it all, I realize I haven't, and most likely never will, which is good, because it'll keep me listening...

Ms. Janice, you have a downright welcoming "come right on in!" kind of voice that would cause even the shyest wallflower to think twice before turning down an invitation to dance from the gal he was makin' eyes at from across the floor.

Thanks for making such happy-sounding music. "Happy (musical) New Year" to both of you!

Thanks for listening and taking time to write such a thoughtful response! There is a real treasure trove of material in the public domain. Since I'm such a slow writer we have been mining the PD for years. smile

And Janice is most appreciative of the comments you made about her vocal.

Thanks again!

Love this version Janice and Bud.

Janice would probably sound good singing with a tin can and a string though.

Don't think it was the mic.

Enjoyed Oscar too. Cheers.


Thanks! We love Western Swing from the earliest days to Bob Wills to Asleep At The Wheel. Glad you liked the vocal.
