WOW! You three created some stellar and powerful sounds here. What a great tribute to 60's rock ... my favorite decade for the genre. Peter's guitar work is second to none ... simply fantastic! And you guys already know my thoughts about Janice's "to-die-for" vocals. Her pipes are so sweet and true ... she has a real gift. And Bud ... you are a knob-turner supreme. Those Nashville, LA, Atlanta and New York producers don't have a trick you don't know .. and that you do way better than they do.
That was a treat with extra sugar and icing. I'm always left in awe of your productions. You folks give music a very good name. Best to all three of you ...
Alan Thanks for such nice comments! We love that period of rock also. We are currently reading the two volume “The History Of Rock And Roll” which covers this period so well. Highly recommended. J&B

This is awesome. Isn't it wonderful how these instruments could produce such a melodious music. Music is life indeed! Yes it is! Thanks. J&B Well , now what's to say I have been pre occupied for a while and catching up with the user forum .
And then I come across this , I've never made a secret on my love of Janice's vocals, now isn't an exception ! not at all , loved this and your work bud is what puts it all together, because you know each other other so well …Sonny and Cher ..Yes .. Honestly.. only with LOVE.
Thanks
Thank you so much and yes LOVE with us is it...indeed! J&B Very nicely done rock n' roll version of this classic song. Very tasty guitar (there's no substitute for the real thing), and excellent vocals. Thanks! And, yep, Peter laid it down! J&B I think Janice was born to sing this song, and Peter to play. Wonderful backing band provided by the Box. High energy that built to the end. And it all sounds good on the phones, volume UP (as if there was another setting for this number). Thanks! Bud had to nudge Janice a wee bit to get her to rock! But she nailed it on a single take  J&B

Dear Ms. Merritt, 'Bud', 'PeterF' and...did I miss anyone  ??? OOO-wee, now, that was the rocking-est version of See See Rider that these here ears ever did listen to !!! Ms. Merritt, your vocal performance was so exuberant that I shouted out, "You go, gurl !!! I imagined you hoppin' n' boppin' all 'round the studio during PeterF's solo. 'PeterF', I smelled smoke comin' from your fingers as you set them strings on fire. Hope you had a bucket a' water handy to cool things off a li'l bit. 'Bud', as always, every sound of every instrument, musical as well as vocal, comes through a set of speakers like a house party held on a rooftop. Go on wit' cho' ba-a-a-d self !!! Only time I ever heard this song before listening to you all's version, was on a Verve album from the 60's titled 'The Essential Jazz Vocalists" featuring Big Bill Broonzy on gee-tar and vocals. It was the sound of the most lonesome blues your heart could stand. It's amazing how a song performed in one style can be re-imagined and performed in a totally different genre, ain't it??? See you later, 'See See Rider' !!! LOREN Thanks Loren. It was fun figuring out what style to use. Judy Garland did a show tune style while Brenda Lee did a rockabilly version. Lotta room between those two! As always your descriptions are priceless and we appreciate every word! J&B

Janice, Bud and Peter.
I'm very late to the party with this one! I don't know how I missed it. Fortunately, being late doesn't reduce the "Oh wow! This is a ride and half" kind of thoughts running through my mind as I listened.
This is an incredible arrangement! And Janice's vocals coupled with Peter's guitar work send it soaring sky high. Two minutes and forty-three seconds of pure delight! Right from the start I was pulled into the mix and what I was hearing just kept on getting better and better and better. This presentation radiated that hard-to-attain listenability factor everwhere!
Janice... you are incredible. Honestly. I'm breathless now after listening to you sing. I cannot think of a better way for me to start Saturday!
Thank you all for a lively and highly enjoyable musical treat.
All the best,
Noel
