Janice, Bud & Peter,
This song is an absolute gem... Love the new version!
The upright bass is a standout - would love to hear this featured in other songs from you guys.

Very cool bass playing Bud. Gives the song such a cool feel. +1 on what Robert said. Love how Janice bends the notes. Loved the vocal. Peters playing was so very well done. So tastefully done. Super collaboration. Mix and masters was perfect.. Thanks Scott for those kind words. Bud much appreciates the bass mention. And yes Janice loves to bend those notes  J&B

Janice, I have no idea how you achieve this, but you sound better and better with every song. Clear sound, crystal clear, direct and communicative. The lower register is growlingly beautiful, too ... and the middle and top registers just speak. Good job, Bud, on the mix, too ... the arrangement is just perfect for this song - well done, Peter.
One of my favourite Janice & Bud (and Peter!) songs ... and that's saying something. Listening to it again, now ... how Janice communicates these notes, as if it was the most natural thing in the world ... I want some of that magic sparkle for my own voice, haha ... any suggestions? ;-) Only joking, this kind of magic is quite unique to each musician, perhaps - but well done, you all have musical talent in spades, and boy does it show :-) Well done to all.

Excellent!
Janice sounds perfect as usual, love that passion!
Great tone and tasteful playing from Peter, and always a treat to hear you on bass, Bud!
Good stuff you three, I'm a fan. Thanks Dave! It was fun. J&B

Blues at its absolute best
Janice, outstanding vocal, as usual
Bud, super bass, mix, and production
Peter, as usual your guitar fits perfectly
This should be in the Alligator Music's catalog
Loved it

Hi Janice and Bud and Peter,
So Janice, years ago you already met these mean men. you're still singing abouth them...
But you poured your experience with them in amazingly good songs. This is another example of that, or maybe one of the first.
Your voice seems to sound younger. Was the track from then used in this remix?
6 years ago I was joining the forum for the very first time. I think somewhere in september of that year. Anyway I missed it then and am glad to hear it now.
But I like this song very much! Beside the lovely vocals the bass did very well. You can hear you like to play it, Bud!
Peter also had some very nice -kind of- riffs and a solo (0n 1:21 for example) in the song that I really like.
In spite of that mean man story I still have a big smile on my face listening to it all,
Hans Thank you Hans. We’ve been married over 40 years so Janice was very young when she met those mean men Bud writes the lyric and Janice acts them out and then walks away from it! Glad you liked it and thanks for the bass mention! J&B

J&B + Peter,
I was not around for the V1, but this is absolutely great! Deep soul sound. Stunning vocals by Janice. Love that upright! Peter's guitar a perfect fit. Very good mix. Congrats team and thank you or sharing.
Misha.

Really great song y'all. I love the new parts you are mentioning. It all sounds very rich and vibrant. The fact that it is a great song is obvious. The production is totally pro. Great one. Thank you David, J&B

What a great band you've got going on there J&B! Janice has got that country blues sound locked down and sounding great! Bud, you need to play more often on your tracks...you've got the goods on that upright! Peter's parts are tasty and spot on...sounds like an acoustic, which is just right for this tune! Enjoyed it!
Thanks, T Thank you Torrey for all the kind remarks and Bud appreciates the bass mention. It was a fun redo! J&B

Great to hear again.
That Voice! A Star. The world needs to know that.
Peter's guitar is a nice addition - great job.
Bud should be playing Bass on everything. And turn it UP for cryin'-out-load!!!!
Superb.
fj You are too kind mr Jane. And thanks for the bass comment. Just a little walking thumping line from my bluegrass days. Your vocal comment put a big smile on Janice’s face! J&B

Janice and Bud - another great one. I never heard the original, but I don't see how it could compare to this. I echo all the comments regarding that bass, man it sure stands out and blends wonderfully with the feel of the song. Also another great job by Janice and Peter, and with the mix it makes it a perfectly polished sound. Thanks for giving us a chance to listen! Thanks for all. That is very kind of you. And thanks for mentioning the bass. J&B

Thanks for every word! J&B Bud would like to mention that after being married to Janice for 40+ and having played on stage with her in two bands he also hasn't a clue as to how she does it. I've never tuned her vocals, we don't cut/paste them and she typically does it in one take. She is so modest that I know she will not like me saying this publicly Bud

I'm glad you resurrected this since I wasn't around for the first version.
That piano is an immediate draw.
I really like the lyrics.. Good one Bud.
Janice vocal sounds so smooth and effortless.
