Everything in this is excellent Peter! You must have spent a lot of time tweaking and getting this one ready to go! All the instruments are perfectly placed and mixed well (loved that growling organ) and of course the guitar sounds great as well as that perfect vocal! Thanks, Torrey Thanks Torrey appreciate the review. Peter

WOW!
If there's a better version of this old classic anywhere out there, I've never heard it. That piano just weaves its way throughout the song like the subtle current of a meandering stream. This is so good in every possible way. I can't think of much else to say other than "WOW!" The talent in this forum is mind-boggling and this is a fabulous example of that. I'm stunned with the way this song overtakes me as I listen. Again, WOW!
Alan Alan you are too kind - thanks for those encouraging words. I agree there is some wonderfully talented musicians on the forum (and it's great to be able to collaborate with them). Peter

Absolutely stunning vocals, mix and production.
I was hoping that you would have went back to the verse..
"I went down to the St. James Infirmary
I saw my baby there
Laid out on a long white table
So young, so cold, so fair"
After the instrumental at the end to finish, would also love to hear you record your own backing vocals to accompany your lead vocals.
Again all round Fantastic.
Thanks Thank you! Your comments on the vocal are very kind. Janice Never heard it done better. Hey, J&B, is "Frankie and Johnny," PD ?? If it is, I have a request  Thanks! Hmmmm. That would be fun! Janice

Love this song!! My son's jazz band plays this one....love the dark feeling of it. Never knew it had lyrics. You guys just knocked it out of the park!!! Janice can sing the hell out of this kind of tune (and probably about any kind!), and the guitar playing is sweet. Production/mix are tops!! Great job by all!!! Take care. Greg Appreciate those comments Greg, very impressed with your recent output. Peter

Peter (and Janice):
Superb. That piano is outstanding—really sets the mood, and it’s mixed so well against Janie’s excellent vocal. This touches all the blues bases and then some . . . really impressive collaborative production. Enjoyed it a lot!
My best to you both,
Deej Thanks a lot. Peter

I've heard literally scores of versions, this was one of the best. Peter / Janice & Bud. Super cool! A lot of drive in this tune. Janice, excellent vocals! (a bit jealous again ). Peter, guitar playing is great and you got some signature tube sound, which I initially thought was a bit dry, but when solo came in I totally got the texture you were after. Production is top tier. Congrats to you all and thank you for sharing! Misha. Wow. Good is so many ways. I expected Janice's sultry vocals and excellent production, and was not disappointed. Piano sounds great. I didn't expect the guitar solo - icing on top of an already scrumptious cake. I appreciate you three taking the time to listen and to write such nice comments. Thank you! Janice

Made me sweat. Janice sounds wonderful twisting the blues. "Let's roll" indeed, right back into that tasty guitar we'd had just a nibble off before. What a way to take it out. Thanks a lot. Peter

Im really late on this sorry Peter. Probably already mentioned but is very simular to the House of The Rising Sun.
Janice really breaths life into this great old tune.
Great band choice and production. Love the distorted guitar. Rob

excellent cover, great song!
Janice, super vocals
the mix is top notch
Peter, I've never noticed before but I heard some ec (eric) influence in those solos
fine playing
I've been watching Peaky Blinders (early 1900s English crime drama)
and this song would fit in beautifully.
btw, I've played this one before, years ago in a club band.
I was just the quiet bass player in the background. Thanks Kenny. I often can see Peter doing the Eric “leg lift” during his solos. And we both thank you for mentioning Peaky Blinders! We’ve started watching and enjoying it. Janice This is one of my favorite songs and you really kicked butt (PC version) on this!
The arrangement was perfect. The mix was perfect. Janice's vocal and Peter's guitar were phenomenal!
This version is as good as or better than most of the commercial versions that I have heard.
You all should be very proud of this one. Mario, I much appreciate that. We all had a lot of fun with this! Janice

WOW! This is so well done! Love the piano. Really, love everything about this one. Great job on the guitar, Peter! And Janice, your vocals are as good as ever (and that's always great).
Very well produced. I don't know how I missed this one before, but I'm sure I heard it now!
