A winner all the way around.
Smooth easy mix, love the dobro and of course, what's a song without great vocals.
A tasty treat!

Hi Janice, Bud and Peter,
I was away from the forum for a while so I knew I missed a lot of good songs.
I'm trying to listen to all songs I missed and your song was the first in line.
And that was no mistake! It is very good and had a bit the mood I was in lately; a bit shuffeling through the days.
I can repeat and or join easily all the compliments given by all others . That is the nicest art of being a bit late (...)
But suffice it to say; I like this very nice 'tiring song',
Hans

Hi Janice & Bud,
I am always happy after listening to your compositions. The rhythm and the vocal are always well done. Janice is always so expressive and I could see her on video (super well done between us). Well done. I appreciated.
Kindly regard

See what happens when you don't pay attention for a few days?
You miss gems like this.
Pretty sweet excursion into the blues. Loved the walk down turnaround, the bgv, the guitar playing, the punch in the mix and of course, Janice's sultry style of singing.

Slinky and undulating. Whoa, the band is absolutely awesome, which I think is owed to Peter's hand. Love that walk down. Vocal performance is primo---I don't expect anything less.

I love the blues and you three have mastered the genre.
Janice sings so well
Peter is an outstanding profession guitarist.
Bub is the perfect producer and mastering engineer.
You are every bit as good as those on Alligator's Blues roster and the songs on blues radio. Thanks Mario. Seems like folks either get the blues or they don’t w/o much room in between. Appreciate it! J&B

Janice, Bud and Peter,
Super vocals and harmonies!
The piano and Peter's resonator guitar played throughout are very comfortable.
The accompaniment that goes down in semitones is really cool.
The mix is also great as usual.
Enjoyed my listen a lot.
Best regards.

Love the turnaround intro to the song. Loved Peters guitar work on the song. Dobro was excellent and his solo was superb. Awesome vocal and call back harmonies Janice. Excellent production on the song. Well done. Thanks Scott. I stole that turnaround from a song we posted in 2017. I can't remember where I originally stole it from  Glad you liked it! J&B

Ooh yeah. That's the way to make my eardrums purr. Love it completely - this kinda of blues just hits the spot. Janice's voice, Peter's guitar ... Bud's production skills ... that's how it's done. Janice sounds at her absolute best here ... more, please! And Peter is just heaven - whereas Bud is a little more laid back, but it wouldn't be the same end product without him. That's the way, folks ... you please carry on, I'm just going to stretch and lie down somewhere round here, so I can hear more of your superb tracks. Thank you :-) You are very generous with those positive comments and they put a huge smile on Janice’s face! Thank you very much for the support. J&B

This song has a strong heartbeat! Man, it just has such an awesome chug to it. Strengthening the snare the way you did, is helping frame an already really nice groove. Janice's vocals, as usual, are everything to write home about. I've never heard that phrase before; but it popped in my head...so I'm running with it. The fact that it never popped in my head until now, must be saying something!  We've all heard of auto-tune. I'm coining the term "Janice-Tune." That's when a voice is talented enough to be able to play with a melody by dancing around the scale so effortlessly in a way no machine could even begin to "understand" or map. THIS is everything that is human and authentic about her vocals. It's the human connection that I don't hear enough from others. I know a lot of singers; but she IS the song. Peter's guitar-Wow! You have all of the meat and potatoes; but those spices you are seasoning with show the workings of a master chef. I Especially like the Solo with more of those "spices" thrown in between your main phrasing. Interesting, complimentary tones; but contrasting enough to add variety. Peter, you knocked it out of the park. That solo section sounds, to me, like a great lead singer with those exception background vocalists as well. I'm just floored by how good this is. Mix-Oooo...I like this mix! Again, I can hear everything! However, nothing is competing against anything in the mix. NOT easy to do. It sounds effortless, which means, someone took some time on this mix right now, AND the years leading up to this mix. It is mixed with the ears of a seasoned and learned student of the craft. I know I mentioned the grove already, and part of it is constructing it instrument/sample wise. But just as big of, if not bigger, part is mixing that to work. And man does it work! Kudos for making that what it is. An in the pocket, confident, drummer sitting back there, laying it down for the band. (Hey, I still see the band in every cut you three do.) Lastly, a quick tip of the hat to the cymbal sound. They have that non-abrasive sheen sound to them. As strange as this will sound, cymbals are typically an abrupt interruption to what otherwise is a flowing piece of music. Have you ever noticed when something sticks out to much in a drum loop, it's that damn crash cymbal? Yeah...there's non of that here. In fact, these cymbals kind of sound almost "pretty." I dig that sound! You got it! Lyrics-simple lyrics that are not at all simple to write. Nice rhymes with clever writing to make them not so common. Well done lead up content does that so well! So many problems, oh, I need a little distance Been running ‘bout a quart low on patience Gonna try that ole path of least resistance Album art-Brilliant! I honestly thought it would have a smokey look to it. Instead, it's someone standing literally on the edge! Obviously someone that has been doing some walking; with the walking stick in hand. In the woods...getting that much needed distance. You checked so many boxes with this. So cool! I guess one big advantage of all of this online music stuff is even if someone comes to a thread late, they still can hear such wonderful works whenever they are able to. "Someone" and "they" being me. So overall, yeah it was "ok." Ha! I'm sure you can tell I REALLY. REALLY enjoyed it! Thanks for sharing it. -C (Speech to text with no editing)

Team,
Such a nice swinging tune!
Glad I found a time to listen to it in quiet setting. Totally love it. Amazing drive! Melody, vocals, guitars, arrangement everything works so well. There is nothing I would take out, nor add. A refreshing blues tune. Bud, super clear and full mix! I am a big fan of your art & skill. Thank you for sharing.
Misha.
Misha, thanks for all and Bud very much appreciates your mix comments. J&B I thought I'd commented on this but have discovered I hadn't. Perhaps it was because I'd been listening via a fb link.
This has a really cool "live" vibe with the snare leading the saunter.
Peter's playing is perfect for the song. The descending riff is an excellent tag/hook too.
The vocals have the weary from walking edge to them that sells the song. Thank you Ray. Glad you liked the added snare and pleased that you connected with the vibe we were hoping to achieve! J&B

Sounds great! You two are the blues masters! Hey, I have noticed a lot of people on the forum are singing the blues. Is there something going on in the world that I missed?? Why isn't everywhere super happy?????? I really haven't been outside my room for an entire year or watched any news at all. My Internet has been down as well. Did something happen while I was gone?? Not sure David. We’ve been settled down here on the homestead but heard a few rumors. Glad you like a little blues! J&B Janice, Bud and Peter:
Another total winner. Lyrics really make this one for me, but everything is just top notch, and that lead solo slays. Hard to add to the accolades above—just some steaming blues. Hot!
Keep up the great work!
My best to you all,
Deej Thanks and mentioning the lyric is appreciated! J&B

PB&J, The walk down turnaround is especially effective. I like that rest before the final note. The vocal is once again a master class in blues singing and the little call and response was inspired. The reso was perfect for the fills and the guitar solos were right on the money. Really good blues lyric and the mix is impeccable with everything in it’s own space and no crowding. It is obvious that you three are well versed in the blues, Tom Thanks Tom! I stole the walk down from a song we did three years ago. I can’t remember where I originally stole it from for that song! Coming from a real blues man your comments are very special and thanks for mentioning the lyric. Janice is happy you liked her vocal arrangement. All Is much appreciated. J&B
