Bob,
I like the way you take a melody that reminds me of 60`s folk ( Ian Tyson or Gordon Lightfoot ),move it into rock/pop and your own very cool sound.
Excellent upfront vocal with a vulnerable feel in your voice.
Awesome production as always!
Robert

Nicely done! Love the slow progression, and upbeat vibe on this one. Flows really nicely and definitely easy to sway to. This is the kind of tune I'd imagine sounds great live. Great work and thanks for sharing 
Cheers,
Deryk

One of the best understated arrangements and productions I've heard in a long while and it fits the song perfectly. Your vocals are spot on. Enjoyed my listen.

"You know I need the rain today
Gonna cleanse my blues away"
That stuck with us...normally one would think rain would possibly be a blues creator but to use it to wash away the blues is thought provoking...and cool.
"We don't hold more than today
Gonna push our cares away"
That is a great way to express "be here now."
Janice commented from the get go that she was reminded of some of Jeff Bridges work. Beyond his acting he has done some nice Americana.
As folks have mentioned the build and the use of the steel are both very nice...and effective.
And, at the risk of getting redundant, we also like that snare pop.
As we often say or allude to the quality of your large catalog is amazing.

Bob,
Engaging from start to finish—love the gravelly vocal . .. give this such heart and soul. Nice choice on the percussion kicking in on the second verse—really crisp. You’ve got such a soft touch on production, Bob . . . really pulls out the nuance in your songs. There’s a lot to admire here. Killer stuff!
All the best,
Deej
