Oh Yeah!
Loved everything about this. Janet sounds her wonderful self, peter rocks on the 6 string and the video is great. Bud's on heck of a knob turner on those controls!
We particularly liked this couplet:
my past won't quit fighting my future
it's gonna be a battle to the bitter end
That organ is outrageously good! Smokin' all the way. We totally loved it! Kudos to all of you on a job better than well done.
Alan & Di
Alan & Di Thanks for the kind words glad you liked the song. Peter

Hello, Janice & Bud, Peter
Janis is really lively when she sings the blues.
Peter's guitar is also very pleasant and powerful.
Super Collaboration!
Very enjoyable listen.
Best regards.

Another song that raises the bar.......
Collaborations are probably my favorite song posts here on the forum. Individually, there is so much talent to choose from. Collaborations always bring us up to the next level to strive for -
Top notch write, arrangement, mix, performance and certainly a top notch, professional recording. Love the ending... and the video. Superb collaboration.
Interesting note about the videos that YouTube provides us choices to view next after watching your video production.
First, there's one from Ken Tamplin telling us he can teach us how to sing any song --
all the while we're listening to Janice's over the top vocals - knowing she is in a class by herself... Yea, Ken, tell us more...
That's followed by a DIY video detailing how to repair your guitar with baking soda and super glue -- after it's exploded trying to play the blues like Peter....
A little further down is a video DIY to make a Sound Recording/Foley Room as if that would help me mix a song with the finesse and clarity of a Bud Mix......
Funny videos that reinforce that you guys rock...
Charlie

PB&J!
(HA! ...couldn't resist that!)
This is SO easy to listen to. Smooth and Excellent - in every regard.
For "nothing lyrically serious here" this is a very fine blues write.
I'd say that Janice is "at the top of her game", but how can I when that is where she ALWAYS is.
Peter's guitar work is exceptional! Your best ever, man... it SINGS.
And another (ho hum) crystal clear production and mix from the master. Perfect drums. Nice B3. Everything "in place". Ho hum.
SO easy to listen to.

PB&J Hhahahaha! Thank you very much floyd. Receiving a review like this for our blues number is very much appreciated -- particularly after the passing of Janice's favorite blues singer Gregg Allman. His vocals on Low Country Blues were a great inspiration for her five years ago as she began singing more blues. Peter certainly did nail it...very expressive playing. And, hey, thanks for the "ho hum" shout-out and if I EVER feel my productions are the quality of yours I'll issue one also! J&B

I sure do love the blues and this one has all the good stuff! Some super guitar work and a stellar vocal. The write is engaging and some great lines in there. The sound of the mix and the individual instruments is outstanding. This is a top shelf production. Bravo to all three of you! Tom Thanks Tom. I was worried that I'd come up with another overly abstract lyric that might not work well in a blues format. I'm really happy you liked it. Regarding the mix, "In Neutron I do Trust!" Thanks again -- very much. J&B
