Well I have no idea what "traduced" is but I know this is a great sounding track! Close my eyes and I'm right there in the room with Janice and her band. I was ready to leave a tip. (Just kidding.  ) Seriously great job y'all! Josie, it’s great to hear from you. Thanks for commenting about being right in the room. That’s exactly what we work for! J&B

Everyone involved with this just raised the blues bar again. Janice's voice is so danged good and when she gets great material like this to work with ... well, you know it's gonna be better than great. And this is!
Shuffle blues of any kind is such a sweet sound and this one is a perfect example of why. loved it! Tip of the hat to everyone!

J&B,P&L,
Everything sounds very comfortable here... loose in a tight way,like the band warming up for a gig.
I could listen to Peter`s alternate lead takes all day- bet it was tough to choose.
I was going to say nice simple repetition on a theme for the lyrics until you sang "traduced"... scurrying off to the dictionary for that one!
I`m always struck by how little processing there seems to be on Janice`s vocal tracks & since that`s not the fashion now, wonder if you learnt what works from the simpler bluegrass band days and still aim for that sound with all the vocal bells available now on the DAW.
Robert Thanks Robert. The alternate takes will be in the "special outakes" on the album version! Peter

What a great collaboration!
How you can all work together so seamlessly is a mystery to me.
A real old time world weary feel topped off by a laconic blue Janice.
Cheers.

Wow! Now this was blue! I would say that was blue you two but there was three, so I guess I'll sound sounds blue to me you three.
Is it blue enough?
That is one of those great eternal questions. Most of them cannot be repeated here on this here forum on a Sunday.
However, when you hear a woman sing THIS blue, it almost always makes you want you to hear her get more blue, as it is with most good things, so I guess I would have to say, honey, it is BLUE but not blue ENOUGH in the sense that you have me wanting MORE blue, and then some more, and then some more after that.
And ain't that what it's all about???
I better stop now.
David Thanks for that most interesting review. Peter

What a tune! This is a great piece of music right here. It has a strong mood, and wonderful groove, and the vocal delivery is on point. Within about 5 seconds it had my foot tapping. Honestly, there isn't a thing I'd change on this one. Great work, and thanks so much for sharing  Thanks a lot Deryk. Peter

Super vocal Janice. Just love this style of blues.

Great effort by everyone involved!! I always notice how well the vocal is captured in your recordings (Another great one by Janice). Bud, you made great choices picking the wonderfully played parts by Peter! Nice bluesy vibe going on here! Thanks, Torrey Thanks Torrey it's a pleasure working with Janice & Bud. Peter

Leon, Peter, Janice & Bud,
A stellar piece! Great write and melody. Janice again breathes life into a song like no one else... Another great, great performance.
Bud, the production on this one is really exceptional. The separation and placement of each musical component is perfect - the lines are so crisp and clean with a "live" feel... You really outdid yourself.
Great job all!
Bob Thanks Bob and we really appreciate you mentioning the production. A live feel is precisely what we hoped to achieve! J&B

Leon, Peter, Janice, & Bud.
Not sure the band name is gonna work. But, MAN! everything else does!
Gorgeous vocal. A surprise to no one. Janice is in her element here.
Beautiful guitar work. Smooth, tasty. Fit perfectly.
A really nice Blues write.
An impeccable mix. One so good, you forget to think about it as the music just takes you away.
Y'all are making terrific music.
Leon & PB&J? Nah. LPJB. No.
Traduced. Maybe.
fj Hmmm....yeah, Traduced will work! We appreciate every sentence you wrote. Mentioning the write, guitar, vocals and the mix in such a positive manner hugely validates what we were hoping to achieve. Thank you! J&B

Thanks! I think a common love of the blues and fun and fruitful communication is how it happens. Or at least that’s our story and we’re sticking with it. J&B What a awesome collaboration. Loved the guitar. Reminds me of Randy Napolean's work with Michael Buble.
Super vocal Janice. Just love this style of blues.
Backtrack was so cool. The walking bass line wow!!. The mix so good. blend so nice but ever instrument identifiable. Well done.. Thanks Scott, yep, Peter put a lot of soulful playing into this one. Glad you liked the mix and the bass. I tried a lot of Bass RT’s before settling on that one.

Janice was the perfect choice to pose the question. Her soulfully bluesy vocal drips with emotion. Good lyrics and guitar work. The mix is impeccable from start to finish. Each collaborator did his/her part to perfection. Great job! Tom
