I don't know the original song, but what you've done with it is really, really good.
Janice, who can sing a whole opera with just one syllable, is of course the main attraction, but the way Peter and Bud support her without getting in the way is 100% professional.
Good stuff, kudos to all 3 of you! "Janice, who can sing a whole opera with just one syllable..."  Thanks for the nice comments. It was a fun project. J&B

Another golden vocal and smooth guitar picking.
I'm not an expert in the genre but it all sounds right to me.
Vic Thanks Vic

Blues at its absolute best.
Everything I wanted say already has been said so all I can add is
SWEET vocal and guitar
If I heard this is a record shop I would have bought it right then and there.
When you are at the checkout line and they ask if you found everything say "Why, are you hiding stuff?"
64 bit Win 10 Pro, the latest BiaB/RB, Roland Octa-Capture audio interface, a ton of software/hardware

I can recall the original song, or at least a very old recording of this song.
I can, because I liked it back then. My father enjoyed all these Jazzy/Bluessy songs and played the records a lot.
So, in a way I was brainwashed as a child.
And now the song as played by you. I must start with Janice. she sings heavenly, exactly how Tom described it: her "world class vocals slide around the notes and allow the tear in her voice to caress the melody" (and I learned some more words...).
I also enjoy how Bud plays the acoustic baas. Is this the double bass, or in Dutch: Contrabas? Or an acoustic bass guitar? I couldn't hear so well which one it is.
And of course Peter on the guitar. Well he know's how to play all these genres. So the whole performance was lovely to listen to (of course...).
Hans Thanks for the generous comments. Bud’s bass is I guess what would in orchestral terms be called a double bass. We refer to it as an upright bass or bass fiddle. It’s what you see with any jazz or bluegrass or rockabilly band. Extra thanks for the comment on Janice’s vocal! J&B

Good as it gets.
A lovely opening. Peter at his most musical best.
Janice. Perfection.
A "just right" Band.
A sweet mix.
The level of quality in this Showcase is amazing! (and growing every year).
Rated - a BIG Wow.
fj It was fun to perform a song made popular by several of my favorite singers. I’m happy you enjoyed it and a big thank you for the nice comments! Janice

Peter (and Janice . . . and Bud):
Wonderfully done . . . sits right in your sweet spot, a genre you all do really, really well. No exception here. Outstanding vocal on this one to boot (as always, but Janice at the top of her game). Excellent!
My best to you all,
Deej

Everything I was thinking has already been said - much better than I would have expressed it.
You folks make some wonderful music - perfect example here. P & B - you fellas did a great job. But J's vocal gave all that talent you gentlemen have a terrific polish.
Simply great music!
Alan Thanks for listening and the kind comments Al! J&B

Baby Won't You Please Come Home Another one in our Public Domain series. "Baby Won't You Please Come Home" is a blues song written by Charles Warfield and Clarence Williams in 1919. The song's authorship is disputed; Warfield claims that he was the sole composer of the song. The song has been covered by many musicians and has become a jazz standard. The first hit version was Bessie Smith's 1923 recording, which stayed on the charts for four weeks peaking at No. 6 thank-you for posting the history of the tune. Very interesting. I can see why it became a standard. Yet you made it sound modern with the tastefully done mix, vocals, bass, & guitar too. Way to go! Best, Chad

Another great song and I'm always increasingly impressed by Janice's vocals.
Some favourite Waoist Adages:
#1: Play on the Way.
#13: Ask not for whom the flower blooms, it blooms for you.
#58: Bring consciousness to it.
#63: On the road to effortlessness, effort must be made.
#92: Be Love Now, the rest will come on its own.

As others have already said: everything sounds great, from the guitar, bass tucked under everything thing, Janice's vocals the intertwine through the lyrics, and the clear mix. The guitar is... well, perfect. Everything just fits. It's especially fun to hear Janice switch from a languid phrasing to rhythmically hitting the beats. Fun!

Wonderful. I needed this, this morning ... a laid-back song, sung outta the proverbial park by our own stellar interpreter, Janice. When she is at this level (I am yet to hear a song of hers in which she isn't), she is very close to unbeatable. Feeling, impeccable vocal technique ... nothing more to ask for. I'm sorry, Peter and Bud ... your contributions were understated and stellar in their own right, but my ears were glued to Janice's voice, this time Mission accomplished, lady and gentlemen ... Bessie Smith would have been proud.

A wondrous thing. The bass is fab...ab fab but everything in this is.
The BIAB contributions are on point, he guitar licks lick and bite, the bass marks the progression and the vocal - oh yeah. Thank you Ray. And Bud much appreciated the supportive bass comments. J&B

I was expecting a fantastic listening experience, and I wasn't disappointed.
Heartfelt vocal performance that was technically spot on. Guitar work sounds like a professional session player. Who was that masked man behind the bass?
Great cover!
