Is that Charlene Darling singing with the Dillards?  Sounds might good to me. Thanks for sharing your prodigious talents here.

Well done Janice, Bud, and Floyd! I admired the overall vibe on this. The arrangement is a pleasure to listen to and the mix sounds well polished too. Thanks for sharing! Thanks for checking in, listening and commenting Joe. It’s appreciated. J&B

What's not to like here? Everything is properly placed, well written, extremely well sung by both Janice and floyd and mixed and mastered with professional ears, knowledge and knob twisting. The G runs sound perfectly placed and the bass sounds like the work comping it payed dividends. This is a fine example of Bluegrass Gospel and may be the only one ever posted on this forum. I have been studying Bluegrass lately so this was right up my current alley. Beautiful job by all three, Tom

I love bluegrass music. It has such a cool feel to it. Feel good music. I got interested in blue grass music when I first saw and heard Alyson Krauss on tv..
This song is warm and inviting. Beautiful vocal and Floyds vocal was also so well done as well. Very cool track. Loved the mandolin and fiddle. So well produced as well.

Wow!!! This is just so good in every possible way! I never was a big Bluegrass fan before Nickel Creek, The Newgrass Revival and Alison Krauss. But in recent years, I've come to appreciate and like it.
And this is such a perfect example of the art. All three of you did an excellent job! That was three minutes of my life well spent and glad i could add it to my experiences. Just so good! best to all three of you ...
Alan

Wow, you three, this is truly sublime.
A remarkable sound in all ways and on all levels.
Love it. And I DO love bluegrass. So I was happy.
Also, glad to all hear y'all three finally got saved.
I was worried there for a while. I hope Floyd did not corrupt you too much on the visit.
Thanks David for the great review! I’m happy to report that regardless of his best efforts we remain corruption free...well nearly J&B

FABULOUS song guys. This is the kind of song that would have gone down a bomb on Hee Haw years ago. A really good swingy toe tapper, nice melody and lovely harmonies too. Perfect recipe for a great song

This genre is one that I know close to nothing about - I can just say that I really enjoyed listening to the song. I think the vocal performances sounded really good in my ears and I admire all the talent that the three of you have!
Will Thanks Will. Glad you liked it and that you enjoyed the vocals. J&B WOW!! Lots of fun!! You guys have really captured the elements of that style...Could be on the Oh Brother, Where art thou soundtrack. Great job by all involved. Cool!!! Take care. Greg Thanks Greg. We lived and breathed that genre for many years - listening and gigging. J&B

Smilingly good - the harmonies are spot on too.
Is there a different reverb or level of reverb on the fiddle? Its tone sounds great but it seemed just a little "different room" to me.
Cheers
