As always, everything is well done! Your mixes and arrangements are always uncluttered and natural. They stay out of the way and let the vocal shine. Not a lot of flash, just solid playing backing an excellent singer. It sounds like all you did was turn on a microphone and capture an amazing performance. Which, of course, it was.

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!
Alan Thanks Alan - hope things are settling down. 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.
Thanks Rich. Peter

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 Thanks Tom. Peter

Hello, Janice & Bud, Peter & Leon
It's a super collaboration between the two songwriter teams
Janice displays her true worth in this tune.
Bluesy, really bluesy!
Peter's genius guitar support is wonderful.
Neutron effect is also satisfactorily demonstrated everywhere.
I think that it is very well mixed.
All are really comfortable!
Enjoyed my listen a lot.
Best regards.
Shigeki Adachi

With Janice singing and Peter playing guitar, could you possibly go wrong?? NO!!!! Really cool bluesy vibe. Love Peter's guitar tone on this- sounds just like the solo on Chained Lightening off Katy Lied! This is one classy and sweet production!! Take care. Greg
