Neat song. Loved that you added the historical data on the song. Super vocal and song production. Thanks for adding the mike info. I just switched to a Scarlet 212 and a Shure 57 mike from USB mikes. Timing is much better in Reaper.

Very well done. Like others I immediately thought just how clean and clear the mix is. It really lets a great vocal through. Well done but I guess that is to be expected from yourselves.

Well, what is there left to say after that? A plethora of superlatives, that's what. Bravi, bravi, bravi, bravi, bravi. Where would I start? Great arrangement/production/etc., and Janice just sings the absolute maximum out of this song. The pitch bends, the scatting, etc. etc. etc. Hear To Learn said it, I believe: the rhythm control, too. I always feel awful analysing something like this and taking it apart in order to say what I liked when, at the end of the day, it's the whole package that is amazing, as the sum of its parts and of itself ... it feels awful to take apart and praise each part, if that makes sense. So I won't ... I'll just say the whole thing is incredibly well done, to the standard that we've all become accustomed from you. To say any more would be like picking apart a flower or something as beautiful - even if to praise its individual components.

The style mash makes perfects ense once the chorus kicks in...I was scratchin' until then because I was listening to everything at once rather than going with the flow.
The flow is excellent.
Everything is clear, clean and classic.
Nuff said.
Glad we got you over that itch  Thanks! J&B

Crystal clear piano. Spread across the stereo field. Perfect. Snappy snare. Pumping kick. Cool, cool walking bass. Carrying his weight. A heavenly vocal. Feeling, expression, fun. "I'll show this little dance to you..." just the right inflections.... A fiddle for a little surprise! Nice. This sounds like a band that has been playing together for years (and still LOVE doing it). Superb mix. Y'all are the cat's pajamas. fj Thanks mr jane. Glad you like that MST piano. They are amazing. Not many tracks but we did spend time trying to achieve that well honed small band feel. Thanks for mentioning that. And Janice MUCH appreciates your comments on the vocal as Bud does on the mix. J&B

Heattolearn and Floyd said everything that I wanted to say but they say it so much better than I ever could.
Another winner! Thank you Mario J&B

Janice & Bud,
Very nice booggie wooggie!
That was so fun.
I didn't really listen to American music before the 1940s, so it was very interesting for me.
Janice's vocals are outstanding.
The way to use each instrument is also very skillful.
Enjoyed my listen a lot.
Best regards.

J&B,
Just too darn good, that’s all I gotta say. Really crisp production—that piano kills. Great vocal (no surprise). Nicely, very nicely done—love the fiddle solo! Diggin’ it!
My best regards,
Deej

J&B,
Made for Janice`s vocal swoops and timing sachays... if that`s a thing, you`ve got it!
Love the fiddle and, everything else that made my head spin and toes tap.

Bud/ Janice
Some pretty hard comments to follow! Loved the reviews so far, and the comments about the rhythmic singing.
Needles to say this is a flawless production, and a thoroughly enjoyable listen.
The mix is wonderful, the performance riveting and the arrangement excellent.
Another clear winner.
Peter Thanks Peter. We appreciate that and your suggestion on the fiddle note edit!! J&B

J&B, I love the way that swinging piano seems like it's all over the place in the verse sections but in the end it provides a super cohesive foundation for the tune! The chorus departs from that chaotic chord structure and falls in line with a more familiar pattern. All of which create a very enjoyable tune! Janice's vocal is the real star though (once again). She just does a super job every single time she sings! Great song/performance/production!! Thanks, Torrey

Smash production from start to finish. The piano is quite the driving force.
Janice's alto is at its best here.
Beautifully done!

Hi Bud and Janice
Just back to viewing the forum after having been away for a while.
Nice to immediately find another outstanding piece of work from you two.
I'm running out of superlatives!
Best wishes,
Leon Welcome back and thanks for the kind words! J&B

I'm going to pretend that Balling the Jack has jack all to do with trains, simply because it's more fun. The addition of the jazzier chords in the verses and breaks are a sweet juxtaposition with the straighter harmonies in the chorus. Sweet arranging. The band is classy. Janice sings all loosy and takes it home on that long slide. Grease to the rhythm of the wheels. (Just not train wheels.)  Hugely enjoyed. Hahaha! Glad you liked the chords. We grabbed them from several versions. It ended up almost like two different tunes melded into one. Thanks for noticing that. And thanks for mentioning the band and, yep, give Janice a chance and it’s gonna be loosy phrasing! From our old bluegrass days to now that’s been the way she hears things We appreciate it! J&B

Janice + Bud... I was waiting to leave a comment when dust settles, but seems you guys are on fire. Very cool makeover. Performance & recording are a rocket. A lot of positive movement in vocals and melody. Enjoyed this a lot. On my third listen Thank you for sharing and including a brief history of the tune. Misha.

Hi Janice, hi Bud,
well, seems like a writer's block must not be always something bad... Didn't know that song, but I loved it right from the start - who could ever keep their feet still when the boogie's rolling....
Excellently arranged (I think you were in charge of that, Bud), couldn't think of the slightest thing I would change. And, Janice, with this one you answered one of those eternal questions of mine: Is there any song or genre Janice would not sing brilliantly? Short anser: NO.
Very, very cool and big fun to listen to this flawlessly sounding uplifting production. And thanks a lot for the back info on the song title - very interesting.
You really did it again - all the best,
Stefan

Hi Janice and Bud,
I must have missed this absolute lovely song that is so well performed by the both of you. But of course the vocals of Janice are unbeatable! I enjoyed the song very mutch. It's playing again while I'm typing this post.
And what could I add more than all the others wrote. One big compliment for your performance!
Hans
