Peter, Leon,Janice and Bud, This is another fine collab. Well written, sung, played, and produced. A nice smooth country blues that sits well on the ear and doesn't have any missteps. I liked it a lot! Tom Thank you Tom. It was fun and I quickly found that it was very "singable." My word that Bud kids me about! Janice

Peter, Leon, Janice and Bud,
What I'm hearing through my headphones right now is another shining example of an outstanding forum collaboration.
Peter, your guitar work is excellent.... skillful, considered and a perfect fit.
Leon, the lyric rewrite was definitely worth the effort. I don't think I've ever heard the 'amuse me/enthuse me' rhyme anywhere before.
Janice, you OWN this style of music! Your singing carries us listeners along on the vocal equivalent of a magic carpet ride. I thoroughly enjoyed listening to you.
In a nutshell, this is very, very good music.
All the best to you all,
Noel

There is really wonderful y'all.
The instrumentation--live and RTs--is perfect. Really crisp guitar playing, Peter, that sits perfectly in the mix and sounds completely pro.
I really like the rich, professional studio quality sound of this, right down to the mastering.
Of course, excellent vocals by Janice as always--and great vocal recording work Bud.
Great job everyone.

What a tune, you guys! Great job, all of you  As always, Janice's vocals on this are absolutely superb. I really like the lyrics on this as well, it adds a really unique dynamic to it. And that solo that kicks in just before the 2 minute mark is incredible! A great song from front to back - thanks so much for sharing Thank you Deryk! And, yes, they invited me in on a great tune.

Excellent choice of instruments for this song. The acoustic guitar is full and sweet. and I appreciate the restraint you employ on the slide solo with that touch of flare in the the last measure or two.
Janice, I think I'm starting to hear a flair of ragtime in your blues (lol). Maybe it is harkened by the piano in this song, but it is part of what gives you a unique signature.
Well done everyone!

Janice / Bud / Peter,
Another great collaboration! Love the song - Janice really drives it home with her "slow-burn" vocal... Just great stuff. Stellar mix as well.
Also, love the slide solo - sounded like you had Jack White at the session to play for you - really excellent!
Bob +1 To what Bob said. Vocals, production and guitar just excellent Thanks Scott much appreciated. Peter

Peter, Leon, Janice, (Bud)...
A strong write - especially for a "blues" number...
Nice arrangement. The acoustic work is really nice! - very well recorded. (Slide is nice, too). A nice "crispness" to everything...
That girl can sing anything, it seems. And gets better with every single recording (How can that be????)
A terrific listen.
fj Yep - what Floyd said. This is a real sweet collab. That great lyric, super backing tracks, Janice's incomparable voice and Bud's expertise "twisting the knobs" is a recipe for some really terrific listening. Kudos to all concerned! Alan & Di

The Magic Touch A blues collaboration with Bud & Janice. Leon re-wrote the lyric with Janice in mind to a song we had stashed in the archives. Janice kindly sang (wonderfully) and transformed the song. I played the acoustic and slide guitar. Thanks to Bud for support and recording Janice. The rest of the band:RealTracks in song: ~539:Bass, Electric, Pop Sw 120 RealTracks in style: ~1854:Piano, Acoustic, Rhythm CountryBoogie Sw 110 RealTracks in song: ~425:Organ, B3, Background Blues Sw 120 RealDrums in style: JazzBrushes: a: Brushes Swirling b: Brushes Busier
The Magic TouchHoney I know I think too much I’m aware of that It’s true I get emotional My moods can fade to black But whenever I lay eyes on you I just have to smile You make me think that life is good And living it worthwhile You amuse me
You enthuse me
With a feeling that my life
May be worth living after allI knew when I laid eyes on you You were the real McCoy I hope you can believe me When I say that you’re my joy Cause honey I wouldn’t lie to you At least ways not too much You’re the reason I’m going on You’ve got that magic touch You amuse me
You enthuse me
With a feeling that my life
May be worth living after allHoney I know you like to think You’re a man of gravitas And shows of strong emotion You regard as hazardous But whenever I lay eyes on you I just have to smile You make me think that life is good And living it worthwhile You amuse me
You enthuse me
With a feeling that my life
May be worth living after all
Hello PeterF, Thank you for sharing this with us! Great collaboration with Leon, Janice & Bud! Everything sounds very clear and crisp. Excellent work! Thanks for those nice comments Joe. Peter

Hello, Peter, Janice & Bud
Another great collaboration!
Very orthodox blues song!
Janis's vocals are perfect for this song.
The slide guitar is also very nice.
Enjoyed my listen a lot.
Best regards.

fj Floyd Thanks for that happy you noticed the acoustic - harder to do than the slide. Janice sounds great, I'm sure she will appreciate your comments. Peter
