Man, those opening notes from Peter's guitar are killer --actually that was just the first sign of his continuous slaying. Then Janice comes in to show how sad she is about it all. Love those tasteful harmonies. Man, you guys are so darn good with Blues that I had to go back into your old songs to believe you were ever Bluegrass. And, YEP, you were outstanding there, too. Do you guys do any Disney? --asking for a friend.

Hey team!
One of the best blues tunes of yours to my taste! Janice, that was awesome! Peter's guitar is made for this tune. Very spacious, big sound blues. Bud awesome job in putting this all together. Congrats! Enjoyed this very much and thank you for sharing.
Misha.

Hey guys...super mix of some serious blues...a usual stellar performance by Janice and Peter...the back and forth of the vocal and ax are quite a combo...Peter's tone is impeccable and his licks are very cool...sultry and bluesy in a well crafted package! Thanks. We’ve loved for years the manner in which Peter works his guitar around Janice’s vocals. We appreciate your generous comments! J&B

The intro proves that the blues ain't nothing but an excuse for a guitar solo.  Then the guitar properly steps aside and lets Janice take the stage. Tuning on the kick drum? I'd heard it done on the snare, but not really thought of it as something on the kick. Interesting! The production has all the earmarks of a Bud production: uncluttered and clean. And Janice wraps around the vocal with her usual finesse. Sounds great to me!  Do we really need an excuse for a solo? Thanks Peter It didn't seem long.
Wow Peter n Janice have the right tone in spades.
The outro reminded me, a little, of the lead on Ball n Chain by Big Brother & The Holding Company.
Super mix.
LOVED it. Thanks Ray Peter Hi Guys,
Nice slow Blues.
I particularly enjoyed the intro with the Lead guitar nice and loud.
Best Regards
Nigel Turned it up to 11. Peter Another great blues tune you are known for.
Great guitar work, vocals and mix . . . a nice slow burn indeed. Thanks Peter

Excellent production, Bud.

Top notch! Love the guitar work and the way the guitar and vocals work around each other! Great mix putting everything in it's place to get the most out of every instrument and note! This definitely gives me a goal to try to reach with my songs! Great work!

J&B&Peter, I've run out of adjectives describing how good you are!
Super guitar, as usual.
Super vocal, as usual.
Super mix, as usual.
This is better than most songs at Alligator Records.
You know that I love the blues so you know that I love this one!
Glad you liked this one Mario! We had been wanting to do an all out slow blues for some time. J&B

Morning you three,
Well, you know I love this! Nothing better than slow blues done well in my book.
Janice of course is magnificent, such great tone and phrasing. And the BGV's are quite different than what you would normally hear in a blues tune, very creative.
Peter is always on the money, great chops.
Mix is sounding good as per usual, Bud!
Just what I needed to start off my day, thanks!

Janice,Bud & Peter,
Wow, that intro guitar sizzles...and then Janice delivers a wonderful simmering vocal. Beautifully clean, clear production; this is top shelf!

4T.
this song reminds me of a smokey bar i was once in late at night.
so many great blues songs have been done over the years..and this is right up there.
love everything re the vocals including the fab bgv's.
this song should be on commercial radio.
great lead gtr tone..
as always excellent.
you guys are a creative powerhouse imho.
happiness.

Appreciate the comments Peter Tuning on the kick drum? I'd heard it done on the snare, but not really thought of it as something on the kick. Interesting! Drummers don't care, but any sound engineer worth his money will make sure the drums are properly tuned before the session. But back to the actual song: I love it! Very smooth and pleasant blues, with tasteful guitar playing, a voice that could sing the New York phone book and still gives me goosebumps, and an arrangement and mix that puts everything in the right place. I'm no blues expert by any means, but to me this is pretty much perfect. Great work by all involved! Thanks Peter

What a cool intro. I have to comment first on the production of the song. What and excellent mix and master Bud. Love how Peters guitar sits with Janices vocal. Loved the groove to the song. Janice's vocal was perfect and I think this is my favorite guitar solo of Peters. Really well done...

This song should get the Blues Music Award in Song Of the Year, Guitar and Vocals categories, at least I would vote this way if I could! Peter's guitar and Janice's vocals are phenomenal. And when the chord progression is so enjoyable and the lyrical landscape is drawing the bold lines of pain elegantly and heartbreakingly at the same time, the end result is a classic blues song which should be included on any best of blues collection, especially when the mix is flawless. Janne (who has written a song called Every Day I Hate The Blues ) A review like this is very much appreciated by us all Janne. Your words about the vocals, guitar, write and mix are very generous and supportive. Thank you! J&B
