I mentioned in Dave’ s song that this is my favourite genre. Another perfect blues tune. Awesome vocal and Peters guitar hits it out of the park. Very cool backtrack and harmonies. Loved the mix. Well done Thanks Scott. We’re glad a blues man likes this! J&B sounds great y'all!  Thanks J&B

Great blues! Loved it.

I have been out for that past several weeks, so when I get a chance to reconnect with all my friends in the forum, I always look for a Janice and Bud (and Peter). Because I know I will never be disappointed. And I never am! This, like everything I hear from you guys, is awesome. Great job by all!
So glad I had time to get back here.
Steve
Thanks Steve. It’s great to have you back around. We missed you and your music! J&B

This has great energy. As always, the vox are sooo very good. Guitar excellent as well. Loved listening to it. Thanks for listening and your supportive remarks! J&B Janice, Bud & Peter,
Good to hear Peter letting rip and Janice having fun ( those bgv`s are so cool!).
The piano track is a gem and all production items checked in the "pro-level" box.
The song theme sounds familiar : "Hometown Refugee" being one of my favourites of yours, its interesting to find the feelings writers draw on being cyclical.
Robert Thanks Robert. Glad you liked the piano - got lucky with it. And we appreciate your mention of Hometown Refugee. It’s also one of our favorite productions. And, it’s likely our hometown will prove worthy of another such write J&B

Great groove, you can always trust on good old Texas blues. Some nice momentary steps out of the traditional blues formula with the chords that are highlighted by the background vocals, enjoyable surprise. Great arrangement and mix, Peter's guitar playing and of course Janice's vocals really make this fly through the roof.
Janne Thanks for all and for mentioning the chords. I had hoped they would work. And Janice much appreciates your nice comment! J&B Fun lyric and rollickin' blues. Guitar is in the pocket. It all sounds good (especially Janice) and makes me smile. But I gotta tell you--them harmonies is nuts. Fun. Smiling is what it’s all about! Thanks, J&B Hi J&B and Peter
Loved this. Those backing vocals are so creative (and the lead vocal is of course superb, as per usual). Peter is in his comfort zone and right on the money. Great mix as always.
Regards,
Leon Thank you very much Leon! J&B Great production. Cool song. Good lyrics. Great vocals and lead guitar. Congratulations to all. Thanks! J&B

Janice & Bud, Peter,
Very nice driving!
Your collaboration on this type of song is second to none. Excellent work here.
Great vocals and great guitars!
The cover photo is very nice.
Enjoyed my listen a lot.
Best regards.
Shigeki Adachi Thanks Shigeki. It's always great to hear from you. Appreciate you mentioning the photo also. J&B Hi Janice, Bud and Peter,
So this is what happens when you stay inside too long! You make funny songs with silly lyrics (your own words).
For me that was great fun listening to! The guitarsolo was great, the vocals -of course- too, and at the end of the song it felt as if the piano went sky high!
I liked that repeating of words in the song too. Gave me a broad smile. The disadvantage of this is that it stays in my head now.
Now my wife gets crazy from me repeating every last word 5 times...
Cheers,
Hans
Thank you Hans. Glad it stuck with you! Thanks for the support. J&B Man, oh man! That guitar is electrifying. My speakers are sizzling!
Once more, great vocals. Production and instrumentation are aces. Thank you. Yep, Peter was scorching!! J&B

Great rocking track, with strong vocals and some sweet guitar (reminds me a little of early Clapton circa "Bluesbreakers"). Nice job folks!

Janice, Bud and Peter:
Really fun blues tune—classic. Would go over great live, with lots of head bobbing and feet tapping. Well done!
All my best,

Wow, Bags of Real Quality Blues right from the first note.
Peter sets that axe on fire, Janice does the usual superb job in front of the mic, Bud stuck the lot together with nothing wanting, not even missing the photo!
Great party, everyone. “Bags of real quality blues...” Thank you. That means a lot! J&B Hats off as usual. Janice sings the lights out of this song, as per usual, Peter's so crisp on the guitar (again, as usual) and the production is laser-sharp - yes, as usual. That's it! go and listen to it, folks! :-) BRAVI!!! Too kind! We appreciate it. J&B Great straight up Blues tune. Nice production. Great Feel. Thanks Elliot! J&B

All the accolades afforded you three are highly deserved. Nothing comes out of Georgia Homestead Studios unless it is first rate. The production just doesn’t get much better. And that sanger. Man oh man! Couple that with a first rate write and some red hot guitar lines and it all ends up as a winning combination. Even those not steeped in the blues as we are can find something to like here. Every piece just seems so natural and completely unforced. Top of the class, Tom Tom, we said it before but comments like this from somebody with your production and performance chops makes our efforts seem worthwhile. We appreciate all the support over the years very much! J&B
