Noel,
You did a super job on the remix!
Those guitars sound great.
I've really enjoyed revisiting this one. I think it was the first co-write I did on the forum... Thanks for bringing it back!
fj floyd, I enjoyed coming back to it, too. I really enjoyed co-writing with you back in 2012 and when I reassembled the song just recently over the last couple of months, it was a bit like reliving the earlier experience! Thanks for then and for now! By the way, I notice that Bud has drawn attention to your 'Gene Kelly' line. His comment paralleled what I thought the first time I heard it  All the best, Noel

Most impressive write and arrangement. The vocals are outstanding, too - a super job on the mix.
Glad you brought it back! Hi Curt, Thanks for having a listen and for commenting. Appreciate your visit and your thoughts. All the best, Noel

Wow, this is terrific guys! I joined the forum in 21 December 2012, so I missed the original by, I guess, a few months. Regardless, this just rocked my country roots and dang near had my headphones dancing off my ears.
Too much fun (but that's okay!) and a lot spark. I enjoyed this from first note to last. Great collab!
Alan Hey Alan, It always brings a smile to my face when I see that you've visited. Thank you for listening and commenting. Really appreciate it. All the best to you and Di, Noel

This version is ace - country swing with a little rockabilly lilt.
This would also sound great with a more rockabilly push to the rhythm.
VERY cool.
Cheers

That was about the time we joined the forum if memory serves so the song is new to us.
We went in with high expectations...what not to expect other than excellence with Noel + floyd? And we assuredly were not disappointed.
The groove just flows like water down a mellow stream. Smooth and fluid.
We will have to find and listen to the original which no doubt will be very good. All of us hope to achieve "sonic growth" over the years but when you start out with your talent it's a lot easier to achieve!
Everything sounds superb to us...the RT choice, the arrangement, the write and vocals.
And that Gene Kelly line in the first verse was super cool.
WTG guys!!
J&B
J&B, Thanks for taking a listen. Much appreciated. floyd introduced Gene Kelly into the song. Like you, when I first heard it, I thought pretty much the same thing. With those two words, a whole heap of images unfolded for me. That was one of the lessons I picked up on the journey. Thanks again for dropping in. It's always good to see you. All the best, Noel

Great song guys! This is fantastic!
I don't remember the original but I sure enjoyed this version. Great vocals, lyrics, backing tracks, instrumentation and mix. Who could ask for more?
Two thumbs up on this fantastic collaboration.

Wow guys, you nailed this! It's wonderfully catchy, and honestly just a fantastically written song. I can't think of anything I'd change. It catches your attention within the first moment, and keeps you hooked the whole way through. You should be very proud of this - thanks so much for sharing +1 for me!! This is very enjoyable song that just carries you right along! It sounds like you did a wonderful job mixing and mastering and what can you say.... Floyd always delivers a great vocal! Thanks, Torrey Hey Torrey, Thanks for having a listen. It's always good to have you drop in. Regards, Noel

Hello, Noel and floyd
Great Collaboration!
Shuffle beat is very pleasant!
Vocal and Lead guitar are also very nice.
As Robert said, I also haven't heard the original, but can't come up with any improvements to be made on this mix- it is so crisp and clear.
Enjoyed my listen a lot.
Best regards.
