SEE !! Now I LOVE sassy singers !! The way you drag that lyric "... your desire !!" LOL That's what I'm talking about. Music is feeling and not a reading and syllable exercise. If you want to hear every syllable and phrase do Theater. For good old foot stomping head shaking music that you can feel this is what you've captured. I can hear the fun in your voice. That's what moves folks and Janice you nailed it.

That's what moves folks and Janice you nailed it. Yes, it was fun! We often mention what we call “follow the bouncing ball” vocals that are technically good but completely devoid of soul. Janice has been kidded at times about her “bent note” singing - once on the forum somebody said it danced around too much But she puts her heart and soul in all her tunes and we try to write lyrics that are as she says “singable.” All meaning your comments are very supportive and greatly appreciated. I, Bud, am writing this because she is far too modest to say what I did! Thank you. J&B

I'm going to have to give Lucinda Williams a listen because I love this tune. I get a Bonnie Raitt influence on this.
Great lyrics, great performances, great mix, congrats.

Hi J&B and Peter.
It's been a while since I last heard a song from the three of you and man, this is AWESOME+++++. The production is the best I've heard. And the minute Janice started singing, the thought came to my head that if I was an icecream, I'd run all over place. Janice, your vocals truly sizzle and shine brightly just like the noonday summer sun.
Peter, your guitar work was a perfect fit both with texture and technique. I'd love to be able to play like you.
Bud you've done a superb job bringing this production to life. It's just so very easy to listen to. I love it!
Thank you all for a great journey,
Noel

Some tasty grit.
Your stuff is always so good I hate to suggest any improvements.
However, I hope you can accept a small personal observation:
Janice has a great voice but would have loved to hear more of her clean vocal (without doubling and such) in the verses.
Nice song, well done.

Nice song, well done. Thanks! Personal observations are always welcome. The lead vocal is not doubled. The only fx is a Nectar preset I've used for years on her vocals (with slight tweaks depending on the song). For this tune I added a bit of tape sat and slightly more compression to "grit" up the vocal a bit which is what you are hearing. And we are glad you noticed it as grit was the objective from the get go as we were trying to channel Lucinda. So, even though you preferred it cleaner we met our objective with the grit! Thanks again and please never be reticent to offer an opinion. J&B

I love the way this flows. Great vocals, mix and melody.
One tiny nit that I have is that the lead guitar sounds a little dead and doesn't sit quite right in the mix.
No one else here seems to have picked that up though so it may just be my old ears.
Don't hate me for it.
Vic

Glad you liked it. We feel that Peter played a great lively lead that captured the Lucinda Williams feel (our objective) and we were pleased the way it worked with the vocal and fit in the mix: No hate - unlike many forums this is a great community. Be safe J&B
