J&B + Peter, Definitely a bit grittier than most of your offerings. I was about to write "Gritty indeed", but Mike stole my comment Sounds very natural. If I have not heard other tunes by you, I would imagine that this is your main style of music. Done very well. Instrumentals, vocals, guitars everything sounds in their places. Perfect mix. Spoken word was a nice touch. Reggae next? Seriously, I think it could be a fun project for the trio. Thank you for sharing! Misha. Misha Thanks for the kind words. We did this reggae song some time ago. https://soundcloud.com/mootsman/rewind-mePeter

Listened a while back but didn't have time to leave a full review. I really like this, quite a bit different than what I've come to expect from you guys. Really good writing Bud! Strong opening: "I was drawn to you like a moth to a flame only to become but a pawn in your game" Nice! And then: "A few short months your veneer ran thin you have no heart beneath your skin" Excellent guitar from Peter, I really like the dual guitar approach he has used recently, very effective. Mix is superb, you always get the drums perfect, but everything sounds great. And of course Janice always shines through! One of my favorite female vocalists, period. Great stuff guys, really enjoyed Loved the ending!

This song fits the ensemble like a new skin.
The denouement is perfect too.
Everything swings with a little friction to make dust with the grit.
I enjoyed every moment of this.
yet again - top class.
Cheers

Top shelf again, Janice,Bud & Peter!
Has to be played loud to feel those guitars chopping and grating and to notice the fine production details... the doubled vocal sitting just where it should.
I like LW`s dark ballads more than her rockier songs; Janice has a playfulness in her voice here that suits the lyrics well (bet no one ever said Lucinda sounded playful!).

Right down my alley, love this bluesy Americana vibe. Awesome lyrics and performances, especially the vocals and even more so the vocal harmonies. And great job by Peter on guitar.
Doubled snare, doubled cymbal? No idea how that's done... you can isolate individual drum elements in BIAB?

Janice / Bud / Peter,
WOW! This is absolutely stunning in its grit and beauty... A mind blowing vocal, arrangement and mix.
Congratulations to you all - this is something very special.
Bob Yeah ... what Bob said! Not much I could add to that, as he summed it perfectly, to my way of thinking. Peter nailed the feel and Janice always performs at such a higher level than almost any singer. Bud, you always have that magic touch with the "knobs". I'm just about out of superlatives ... yet none seem adequate. Best to all three of you. Be safe ... Alan Thanks Alan. We appreciate your continuing support. J&B

I listened to this one a few weeks ago I though but I must not have written my comments.  I too love Lucinda (I thought I said) and this evokes that style well (I thought I said). Nice vocals (I thought I said). I always enjoy Peter's guitar work (I thought I said). Great stories in lyrics (hard to do, I thought I said). Nice arrangement too (I thought I said). Well done everyone! (I thought I said.)

Janice,Bud & Peter,
The breath of the three people fits perfectly.
The collaboration of these three people has become more and more wonderful.
Great vocals and a good match of high sense guitars.
A very clear mix.
All are top notch.
Enjoyed my listen a lot.
Best regards.

Hello Janice and Blud,
Well put together composition. The vocal is always pleasant with its blues tones.
It is always with pleasure that I listen to your songs.

Cranked up a bit, what a great listen. Loved the progression, the lyrics and melody, the band and voice(s) and the tasty leads and fills. Just a gets-under-your skin experience. Excellent. Thanks. You mentioned all of our objectives and we much appreciate it. We are glad that it worked for you! J&B

Hi J&B + Peter,
A darker sound than your usual style and the lead vocal pitched a little
lower this time, I think, which gave Janice's voice a wonderful quality.
For me this was what turned a great track into a fabulous one.
But not to detract from Peter's superb blues guitar, or the clever writing
and arrangement - all simply first class.
And another super mix from Bud, to complete a thoroughly professional package.
One of your very best.
ROG.

J&B and Peter,
Another excellent collaboration . . . I don’t think I can add to the many superlatives above, . . . so I’ll simply say I loved the listen, every drop of it . . and that ain’t no lie. :-)
My best to each of you,
Deej
