I saw the upload notice for this a while back on fb but I wanted to wait until I had enough free time to give it the listen I knew it would deserve.
You guys have a knack of finding these old songs and putting a modern spin on them, man, what a great song!
Great intro, and Peter always does a fabulous job on the guitars.
And Janice! She absolutely nailed the vocal, I don't see how it could possibly be better. And man, that scat is one of the coolest things I've ever heard! Just outstanding
Great song, great arrangement, great performances by all plus a killer mix = perfection!
Thanks Dave. And Janice was very happy you liked the scat. Hey Bud gets to hear scat guitars and saxophones around the house all the time! We appreciate you.

You guys are knocking them out of the park. Love the fresh take on this oldie.
I like how you find and then take these old songs and make them new while still maintaining the gritty feel of the original.
Nicely done.
Thanks Herb! There are some gems out there.

- In your song description for the drums
Drums: RealDrums Blues Rock Shuffle > Waves CLA Drums Snare double from from RD file sample > Waves CLA Drums Kick double from RD file sample > Waves CLA Drums Cymbal from RD file sample > Waves JJP Cymbals
Do you export the BIAB drums to midi and than use the Waves CLA Drums to be triggered? And then play it along the BIAB file? Does that what you mean by double?
I love the drum sound you have on this.
As well what does Public Domain music mean? Thanks for the time and consideration for my questions, I'm trying to get better at the mixing and mastering aspect of music production...so I ask people who are good at it.
Thanks! Sent you a pm regarding your questions.

Killer blues number—wonderful production, every single element. Peter’s guitar solos shine; Janice does her usual awesome job on those smoky vocals (nice scatting!). A wonder what you guys do with some of these old tunes. Sounds fresh and new! Great stuff!
What a great discovery! Loved this tune and of course it's a superb vehicle for Janice's amazing vocals. Terrific work putting it all together.
Glad you liked it. Thanks!

From arrangement to performances to final production, this is very satisfying listening.
Janice: Your singing was way beyond brilliant. Your performance was bursting with sparkle and shine. After listening to this, I'm convinced that you own this genre! I loved the way you interwove your vocals with Peter's outstanding guitar playing. In so many ways, this was a duet of superb soloists coming together to create a masterpiece of the very highest calibre. Your scat singing had me grinning from ear to ear. It was sensational. You and Peter reminded me an awful lot of Cleo Laine and John Dankworth. In the below clip, Cleo does quite a lot of scat singing against John's saxophone playing. If you have a listen, I think you'll see why you reminded me of this couple.
Peter: Your guitar playing was absolutely incredible. I don't think I've ever heard you perform better. It seemed to me that you and Janice thrived on one another's musical energy. There was a remarkable synergy between the two of you that created a work where the "whole" was so much more than the "parts."
Bud: I don't know how you managed it, but you captured an incredible live-performance feel. This is truly a fantastic arrangement and mix. I envy your ability to pull this together and create such a fine finished product.
Literally... I'm blown away with the talent on show here.
All the best, Noel
You are too kind! But we appreciate every word Janice especially thanks you for mentioning the scat and the info about Cleo. We read about her and listened. Thanks.
Bud is most appreciative of your mention of the mix. The live feel is what we hoped to achieve.
And, yes, Peter is excellent in the way he accents the vocals!
Great opening. Immediately think "this is a good mix!" and a comprehensive band sound to introduce the song and the players. SOLID.
There is NO question - That girl should be a STAR. (She IS a STAR in my book). A "truly gifted singer" doesn't even begin to describe it... Simply - As Good As They Come.
Peter's guitar work just keep getting better and better. This is polished to a very high gloss. A stunning solo!!
Bass and Drums are PERFECT. Piano is tucked in nicely.
Scattin' brings goosebumps.
DAMN! the mix on this is good!! Pro. No Doubt.
"Hitting on all cylinders" and then some.

Floyd said it perfectly!! Just like to add.....WOOOOOOW!!!! Take care. Greg
