P,L&J, I sure do like this one. Great lyrics and vocals. Really nice guitar work. As Dave pointed out especially the outro. My favorite part is the unexpected ear catching chord progressions for the solos. What a great idea. I thoroughly enjoyed my listen, Tom Hi Peter,
A great swinging country groove.
Super performances from Leon and Janice and some
delightful guitar work - wonderful "twang" on the solos.
Excellent lyrics and story-line.
Cheers, ROG.
Hey y'all, Thanks for listening!! Janice

Prayers to Morpheus in a country song - dark, deep country.
Terrific song - there's a vocal dip at the beginning of a phase at around 1.10 that should be addressed.
Fun and really well done. the solo tones are SPOT ON.
Congrats all round.
Cheers

Very well done you guys! The groove here is infectious and had my toe tapping within a few short measures. And the track has such a catchy, happy tonality to it. This is the precisely the kind of thing I'd belt along to on a road trip. Great work, and thanks for sharing  Thanks Deryk. Peter

Peter & Leon (and Janice)...
Really enjoyed this. A good write (a lot of words!).
Cool tracks - very supportive of the lyric. Nice mix.
Nice guitars all over the place! Leon's usual strong vocal. Janice's usual "sugar on the top"...
A fun one.
fj Thanks floyd appreciate the comments. Peter

Peter,
There are too many nuggets in those fun lyrics to quote - this is Leon at his sardonic best. Musically its just as much fun and your outro is great!
Thanks for giving me a toe tapping smile.
Robert
Appreciate the comments Robert and so does Leon. Peter

Soooo good in so many ways. Excellent write, production, singing. Toe tapping goodness, with clever lyrics to boot. Plus, you made me look up Pablo Neruda.  David I had to look him up as well. Peter

Peter, Leon and Janice,
This is incredibly entertaining.
Peter: you guitar work, arrangement and mixing are excellent. The country-swing feel grabbed hold of my feet and refused to let them rest. From the beginning, I was tapping my toes along with your presentation. I always love hearing your play.
Leon: your ear-catching melody, clever lyrics and relaxed, easy singing make this an impossible song to put down once it starts. I have never come across 'contagion' in a lyric before. Also your use of 'thee' is incredibly clever. You've taken an archaic word and managed to make it sound conversational in a modern way. Then there are all those other lyric gems... the journey from coffee to knitting to Marvel comics to viruses to... you weave a very entertaining story!
Janice: it is always a delight to hear you sing. Whether it's solo, duet, background or foreground, you nail it every time! And every time I find myself just drifting along listening to you.
All the best,
Noel Noel Thank you for such a kind comprehensive review. Appreciated by all involved. Peter

Awesome tune. Boy do I like the shuffle feel to this. Excellent guitar work Peter. Super vocal and lyric. Loved the harmonies. Super collaboration. Scott said it better than I could. This is a great toe tapper that you all should be very proud of. Super guitar chops also. This is a keeper.
