I remember this one. Has it really been 5 years? Wow time flies! This one is a killer with everything hitting on all cylinders! Great performances all around! Janice really delivered a great vocal on this! This one has my favorite guitar tone from Peter! It reminds me of the tone John Fogerty had on those first couple of CCR albums. Great work on the video...with Janice's "play acting". Bud you are the unsung hero here though! Your work behind the scenes is pro all the way!

Thanks, Torrey

Hi all. Smooth transitions in that video, Bud. Janice's silent film star chops are a treat to behold. And her vocals of course are wonderful, as always. Peter's guitar is the icing on a very fine cake.
Regards,
Leon

Hi Janice and Bud,

On the video page I wrote words like "that's why these birds are not my favorite, but your song is!"
At first the song: Nice to know it is an oldie in remix. That's is done very good, but I bet the original song must have been as good as this one! The melody is always a nice Blues. Who can't love that?
I was a bit curious what you did with the bass in Neutron (3 times)? What did that do extra to the sound?

And secondly the video; that was very nice work! The present and past represented by the sepia and color mixing. But I also liked that anxious face of Janice in the woods, her eyes were nearly popping out, because of the vultures (I saw more than one).

So, a triple + for this performance,
Hans

I think we've already established that Janice is PERFECT every time she sings. EVERY. TIME.

Cool song. Lyric and melody.

Great job on the video. Janice goes all in. Cool. Camera work is excellent. Transitions are EXCEPTIONAL.
Y'all notch it up more with each video...

Man, what an encouraging and appreciated review!

Thanks for all the comments on the audio and the video.

Some vids are tedious but we genuinely had fun with this one.

Heck, after reading this we might try another one smile

Nice nice job on the mix. Pristine.

I'm not into the video aspect but you most definitely have it well under control. Nicely done.

Here in NC it's an amazing sight to see a dozen vultures sitting in a field with their wings spread to catch the warming rays on a cold morning.

Loved the song

Thanks to all for the comments on my guitar parts of this song.

Loved Janice's acting in the video and thought it really enhanced the lyric and song.

It's a privilege to work with such talented people.

Pretty awesome video, really. At first, I thought it was going to be about the temptations of sin, with the vultures symbolizing Lucifer's exploitive nature.
Then it went to the vultures were hanging around the TB sick bed, waiting for a snack. Very good. Great production values all around!
I've not seen that many vultures. Have you looked in on your neighbors lately?

Hello Janice, Bud and Peter
Very good song
Janice once again delivers a great performance. Both vocally and in the video.
But also the guitar work and the sound are really good.
I like the crossfade effects in the video very much.
Excellent work
Many greetings
Andi ;-)

As usual the dynamic trio strikes again, i.e. usual outstanding vocal, mix, and guitar solos.

Fantastic blues - loved it


She did have fun Mario and we are glad you liked it!

That gets a big "WOW!" from me.

All the usual suspect are one fire in this collaboration, but I do want to point out that IMHO this is one of Janice's top vocal performances.

The video is exceptional too. Excellent camera work and editing. Acting is good too!

We appreciate your kind remarks Torrey and yes time certainly does fly and at my (Bud) age it is supersonic! Yes Peter’s playing supporting the vocal and soloing nailed the vibe. Thanks for all you said!
