It's hard to imagine that Blues gets any better than this. This is seriously excellent work by all concerned. Janice simply owns the blues - she's at least the equal of Susan Tedeschi. For my money, that about as good as it gets for modern day Blues singers, male or female.
Bud, of course, is a master knob turner if it's musical and has knobs, switches or sliders, Bud turns, switches and slides with the very best of them. And there's no doubt that pen of his had some magic ink in it when he wrote those lyrics.
I'm guessing peter's guitar is still in the freezer cooling down. That's some smokin' Blues playing!
This adds an exclamation point behind the definition of the Blues.
To be clear, I liked this a bit!
Alan Alan Thanks for the wonderful review. Much appreciated. Peter

I love the blues and man did you hit the blues nail right on the head! Great vocal, as always, super backing track and man what guitar leads. This is air ready for sure. Thanks Mario. This production was a LOT of fun! J&B

PB&J, Nothing halfway about this. There is some fine blues guitar on this one. And a killer tone. The perfect vocal (again). The mix is all there with some big sounding drums. Just how I like them. Nice slow down at the end. The write has some fine lines in it and the concept of Halfway is the perfect vehicle for a blues song. You three are highly talented in the different skills that it takes to put together such a successful collaboration. Hats off, Tom Tom Thanks for the encouraging words regarding the guitar parts. Bud wrote a solid blues tune to solo over and Janice was inspiring as always. Peter

Hi Janice & Bud,
what a great song that is, Bud - just heard it three times in a row. Janice, love your voice and that laid-back style you're using it. And Pete, very nice guitar job and I really dig the sound...

Super job!!!
Janice' vocals are fantastic!
Peter's guitar is singing as well!
And I think that somehow Bud's mix and master has hit a new high level mark! There is a brilliant separation from the Middle and the sides that really showcase Janice!!
A great job by all! Thanks for the kind comments Lawrence. Peter

Hi Janice and Bud and Peter,
The first thought that came to mind when this started playing was: "Wow! What an opening!" It's jam-packed with energy and attitude and it sets the stage so very well for a highest calibre blues/rock creation. Then Janice sings... and everything that the opening promises is delivered with gift wrapping.
The arrangement is excellent and I really love those vocal fills of Janice's and guitar fills of Peter's. In addition, this arrangement is housed in the finest of productions. The overall sound is full of clarity and it's very easy to hear each element of the mix. In a word... 'Professional', through and through.
What stood out to me most was the feeling of satisfaction that I felt when the song concluded. This is something that doesn't happen too often when I listen to songs but with "Halfway Blues", I was with you all the way and loving ever minute of the journey. When the song was over, I smiled and thought, "Yes! That's how blues-rock is done!" This song really is a credit to all three of you!
Regards,
Noel

Noel, Thanks. We appreciate every word and especially you mentioning the BGV's. They came to Janice while she was recording the lead track and we decided to have a go at it!
