Hi J&B + Tom.
A wonderful song, beautiful in it's simplicity.
The simple chord sequence and minimal band works so well and allows Janice's voice to shine through.
Loved the harmonies, loved the fiddle, loved the whole thing.
ROG. Thank you Rog. It’s great to hear from you. Be safe and well. J&B

Oh you've done it again, another belter of a song. Janice, it doesn't matter WHAT you sing everything suits your brilliant voice. I LOVED this from start to finish. Must get me thinking cap on and write a song with you in mind to sing it.
Brilliant from the first to last bar.

Hey Ya'll ...
What a wonderful song and delivery. This is just so good in every possible way. The three of you are among the very best on the forum. We miss Tom a bunch. But you two (Janice & Bud) keep us entertained and musically satisfied on a regular basis. What's left to say about Janice's exquisite vocals? She has a God-given talent with little equal. And Bud, You're a pretty dang good knob twister who rates right there with the best. I realize Tom did a fabulous job putting this one together, but thought I'd give you a few well-earned props, too.
And who wouldn't want to collaborate with Tom Adams? That's like double icing on a fantastic cake!
This was such a delight. I was having a pretty crappy night; but this just put a U-turn on that. Thanks!
Wishing all three of you the very best. Be safe ...
Alan We greatly appreciate those positive and supportive comments Al. You make great music and have a great ear for music you listen to. That makes your review all the more meaningful to us. Thank you. J&B

Hi Janice, Bud and Tom.
This is a very calming and beautiful listen.
Whenever I hear a waltz, it immediately grabs hold of me. I don't know what triggers and switches 3/4 time engages in my brain but I always feel immensely comfortable and warm when a waltz is playing. It must be something to do with my childhood. I have no idea what though.
This song, its arrangement and its presentation took me to that comfortable spot somewhere inside me. As I listened, it was as though I was sitting in front of a warm log fire on a wet, wintry day.
Janice your singing is superb. It was so easy to ride along on your melody as I listened. Everything about this worked for me.
Tom, it's been a while since I typed your name. As I travelled with the song, you brought a heap of memories of your past songs and how well you produce them. It's so good to hear that flair in action again. I still have such a lot to learn!
When I listen to a song of this calibre, it makes sitting at my computer such a worthwhile experience.
During these days of COVID-19, the message in this song rings loudly with such a stark clarity. It's true. "The sky can turn dark in a flash" and dreams fade to the background. I sincerely hope that we all make it to see that beautiful sunrise.
Stay safe!
Noel

Hi Janice, Bud & Tom,
you already know it: I don't know much (to say the least) about Bluegrass, so I can't compare it to other songs and/or singers, but I think I can nevertheless judge, if a song is good... And I think that this one is dang good.
First of all: I can hardly imagine a song that wouldn't become something very special if Janice sings it. Janice, you know that Maha and I simply adore your singing. And since this song, composition as well as, of course, the lyrics, and the arrangement are so good there was nothing that could have prevented you from making it something especially tasteful and appealing.
I really enjoyed the listen a lot.
All the best to all of you,
Stefan Thanks Stefan. That’s a great review especially from a listener not familiar with the genre. We appreciate it...a lot. J&B

First off, GREAT JOB! I like this song A LOT! I know people on the forum will mention they could see this in a movie for various songs. I feel like a movie should be written just so we can put this song in it!  You all made something that sounds so good. Nice to have Tom on a project again! What's better than Janice singing? More than 1 Janice singing! Great job. At times more duet-ish than just harmony. I loved that! Bud-I give you credit for NOT having an ego that leads having to put something in. I've worked with bands where the guitarist would say "but I didn't get a solo." Pretty much anything ego driven. Your non-desperation is very appealing. The soloists and interplay between the soloists were really well done. Thanks for sharing this song. Very enjoyable to hear!

Dear Ms. Janice, 'Tommyad', and Bud... Whoa! That didn't last too long, but what's over and done, is, well...over and done, ha, ha  !!! (Maybe it's just me, but doesn't the phrase 'over and done' sound like a backyard cook's technique for speed-grilling steaks ???) Without ever knowing anything about the people, their culture, and the places that 'bluegrass' developed and evolved, it seemed perfectly clear to me that it just had to be the music of people who are bound to the land, just because of the genre's name, 'bluegrass'. A musical tradition that would take an element of Our Mother Nature for its name could only be reflective of a lifestyle rooted in its relationship with the soil, the earth -- if I'm correct about this, of course . Too bad 'soul music' is mostly associated with African-American musical influences, because its expression is not limited to any one ethnic group. The way Ms. Janice vocalizes the lyrics is proof of this -- it's the voice of the one, the only, righteous truth for anyone who has lived the story told in the lyrics, and who couldn't relate to them ??? "Just when you think that you’ve got it made
The sky can turn dark in a flash
Dreams of the future become watered down
When you can’t let go of the past"I mean, damn! That stings like a drop of Mercurochrome of Merthiolate dabbed on a fresh cut. The Real Tracks (along with the loops) are alive with the feelings that Ms. Janice sings about. And though I don't know much about mixing, I think I know a great example of it when I hear it . After the Storm has got a beating heart that can't be ignored. Hat's off to ya, folks !!! Truly-ooly, LOREN
"Music is what feelings sound like."-- borrowed from a Cakewalk Music Creator forum member, "Mamabear".

Hi Janice, Bud and Tom,
I always thought Bluegrass had a much higher tempo. When listening to the realtracks in my search for ideas, those fiddles always play the hell out their strings. Now I learned it can be playes more slower. And yours is great!
Do I have to mention those beautiful vocals again? Or the performance of this song? Or the melody?
I don't think so. It's always perfect! This song is no exeption. And I already told you about the high risk you have of becoming too vain.
But I must admit, you earned all the compliments and become a bit vain (if you want..).
The fiddle/violin did a good job, but surprisingly you had a mandolin in your song as well. I liked that very much, but is that 'allowed' playing Bluegrass?
Let's hope we are close to 'After the storm' now.
Stay save,
Hans Hans, bluegrass comes in many tempos and time signatures. Slow waltzes are common for the genre. The mandolin is a big part of bluegrass as the originator of the genre, Bill Monroe, played mandolin. It is very rare to find a bluegrass band without one. Janice used to play rhythm guitar and mandolin in our bluegrass bands. Vain we are not! This is all just for fun and if you and others like what we are doing that just makes it all the more fun. And nice comments like you make are genuinely appreciated. Thank you, J&B

Well, J&B, what can I say other than BRAVO!
As usual great vocals and production.
Mike B. Such a cool song. Boy are the vocals and harmonies good on this. The mandolin and fiddle were excellent. Thanks y’all for the time to listen and comment. You are appreciated! J&B

Tom,Janice & Bud,
A lesson in how to write a memorable lyric and an instantly hummable melody!
Absolutely top shelf vocals and production.
Beautiful work.
Robert Thanks Robert. Yep, Tom can turn a phrase! J&B Love bluegrass as you know so this one if right up my alley. Was expecting Tom to sing on it too so that was a bit of a surprise. Sounds wonderful. Pretty song. I like it a lot.
Josie Thank you Josie. Really glad you liked it! J&B Janice / Tom / Bud,
This is an excellent write and a lovely production overall. Love the slide in Janice's vocal - it fits so well with the fiddle.
Tremendous!
Bob Thank you Bob for mentioning that vocal part! J&B Hi, Tom. Janice and Bud !
Well, can´t be any better than this
I´d say !! What a lovely sung tune
and so masterfully handled vocals
too (naturally what you´d expect from
these pros) !!
Cheers
Dani Thanks for the kind words Dani! J&B Great stuff, Tom, Janice and Bud. Just lovely.
Those first two lines
"Just when you think that you’ve got it made
The sky can turn dark in a flash"
How true. How quickly things can change. And sometimes it's not even your fault but it is still your responsibility.
That is well stated and so true Joanne. Thanks for listening and offering the kind comments. J&B Wow, Janice, Bud & Tom, what a splendid example of the magic of the creative connection. Everything comes together so beautifully. Thanks for the ride. Thank you. We are glad that the collab worked for you! J&B

Tom, Janice, Bud...
As. Good. As. It. Gets.
From absolutely every angle.
The production and the mix are gorgeous. Pro level in all regards.
Needless to say (say it anyway), the vocal is PERFECT. Harmonies, too.
This is a superior Bluegrass write. I'm not sure I've ever heard a Bluegrass song that I liked better.
I don't know who the current biggest selling Bluegrass artist is, but this needs to be pitched to them. It should be a classic of the genre. (And they would be hard-pressed to do it any better than this.)
Stunning.
fj Thanks mr jane! On behalf of Tom and Janice I (Bud) am biased but they do make a great team and have done some wonderful collabs over the years. It's been fun going along for the ride J&B

Truly-ooly, LOREN Loren, your creative, articulate and thought provoking reviews always make remarkable reads and we always look forward to them. Your mention of soul is so spot on. The two of us measure a vocal, irrespective of genre, for the presence or absence of soul. Yes, it's hard to define and perhaps trite to say but it's either there or not for us. So it was VERY meaningful for you to mention it and it is appreciated along with every word of your response. Thank you. J&B
