J&B,
Killer piano out of the gate, and again in the instrumental—really crisp sound, so kudos on the production work here--topped with a chill and smoky vocal. And love the lyrics in that 4th verse. Great work, you two—a very enjoyable listen!
Best regards,
Deej

Smooth blues, excellent warm mix.
I got the same vibe as Janne, an old-timey piano accompaniment with a sound. Amazing how this was a "departure", when Janice seems born to sing the blues. Thanks David. All through our bluegrass years we listened to a lot of blues so when we had the chance to create blues “bands” with BiaB Janice was primed! J&B

Smokey goodness!!!
it weaves a spell that's so easy to fall under
you just wanna stay there and soak up all that
bluesy soul from the mood created especially
from those gorgeous vocals
great mix
Thank you Kenny. Those comments are what makes this whole music thing worthwhile. It’s much appreciated! J&B
Absolutely gorgeous mix. Everything is perfectly balanced. Warm!
Some great lines in these lyrics as well.
I really loved this.
Hey David, glad you liked it and thank for mentioning the mix!! J&B

Splendid!!!
I had to immediately turn the volume way up!
You have captured the grit and fullness of every instrument, just an awesome mix!
And Janice's voice is in top form and sultry!

J&B I just had a flashback to the good old days of jazz and blues lounges.
This is better than a lot of lounge acts that I have seen. You nailed this with the perfect backing tracks and Janice's crystal clear vocals.
Put out a CD of these and I will be the first to buy it.

J&B,
Very classy in all respects. That interplay with piano & guitar is so well done and attests to your attention to detail on the production.
Its no surprise that Janice takes a simple lyric and makes the listener feel the ache.
Your lyric videos are tasteful -nicely paced and spliced.
I couldn`t find the original of this on your back pages but hey, listening to some of the other 5 yr old tracks, you started out at a high level in production to these ears... and there are some fine songs as you transitioned from Bluegrass.
Robert
Thank you Robert very much and we appreciate you listening to some of the earlier material. It has been an interesting and fun journey. No negatives other than family and friends who feel like we abandoned them when we left bluegrass. Thanks for mentioning the video too! J&B Really bluesy song!
We love the piano solo too. The mix is so good and Janice's vocals are top notch, as always.
As said before, it reminds you of a smoky bar.
Tasteful video as well.
Rob and Anne-Marie Thank y'all! Glad you liked the mix and it always makes our day when you like one of our videos...you guys are over the top good with them. J&B

WHAT a clear mix! Sounded flipping excellent!
Janice's voice is still a work of art, I love her control of the notes she makes each word have a life of it's own.
Nice, very nice

Janice and Bud, Right from the start, this production grabs holds and doesn't let go. This journey in sound is brilliant.  There's a clarity and sheen to this production that allows it to sit so very comfortably on listeners' ears. Coupling this with Janice's rich and warm vocals and the result is what Greek myths call ambrosia -- the food of the gods. Every way I look at this, I see lessons galore for my own music creations! All the best, Noel P.S. I find that revisiting previous works is a great idea. Until I started doing this, I had no idea how much my production chops had developed over the last few years. That image more than made our day! Thanks for commenting on the mix. Often, but not always, Waves’ LinMB will really open up a mix. We always appreciate and are supported by your thoughtful comments!

Hey J & B,
I feel like I say the same thing every time I hear one of your tunes. Crystal clear, pristine production and a vocal that never ceases to amaze. Love the mixture of solos here between the piano and guitar (great work).
Thx as always for giving us the pleasure of one of your tunes.
Dave The two of us much appreciate your comments Dave. And it’s great to have you here on the forum. J&B
