You guys are quite a team.
Love that country swing.
Great job.

Really great production all around. Love the ensemble players. All of you sound so good together and the mix is excellent.
This kinda reminds me of the stuff they used to play on Prairie Home Companion. Very pro!!
Loved it y'all. Thanks a bunch David! Cool and humbled to remind you of that show … we were frequent listeners of it. J&B

Hi Bud, Janice, Peter and Floyd,
A lovely song, and how nice to hear Janice and Floyd both singing in it!
Their voices sound very, very good together.
And together with that lovely song, it's really swings.
Peter and his guitar surely helps letting it does. Good work!
But the lyrics... man, what a mean sister and lousy men you had to face, Janice!
Story of your live (in songs). And now living in the outskirts of... fun?
No, love it a lot!
Hans

You guys are super superb, and I am ever grateful. I wasn't here then, and much enjoy this remake. Man, Janice is one of my favorite Blues singers. I don't care about acents; it's all about the feel and she puts that in every song she sings. You four inject an abundance of feel and professional talent. This song has it all. You are never on the outskirts; you're full on fun.

Toe-tapping goodness ... I love what you guys are doing.
Very cowboy, I expect to hear a song like this if I ever go to a real saloon.
Very good job by all involved, I really enjoyed the listen. Good luck on finding that real saloon. 😀 Glad you liked the country venture. We always appreciate your comments. J&B

Janice, Bud, Peter & Floyd, WOW! The swing and groove on this song is terrific! Janice and Floyd singing together sounds magical. Peter's guitar is in full gear and Bud's production is second to none. Love this - hard to believe I missed it all those years ago, but glad you surfaced this one again for a refresh. "Janice: Lead vocals, arrangement and melody. floyd: harmony vocals Peter: solo guitar and arrangement Bud: lyric, arrangement, mix and mastering" ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ The BIAB Wrecking Crew  AWESOME! Bob You are too kind Bob! Being referenced to the Wrecking Crew in any manner is most humbling. Glad you liked our Western Swing thing. 😀 J&B

All that talent loaded into one song. Thanks for resurrecting the song for the rest of us. Janice shows her versatility. I'd like to hear more of this genre. Floyd's harmony blends well with her voice. Darn good song too.

#63: On the road to effortlessness, effort must be made.

Man this is good stuff gang! I love hearing western swing and Janice and Floyd both sound good individually, but I've always thought they excell when together, regardless of who's doing lead and vocal. Great addition with Peter, and once again, Bud is showin' us all how it's done.
Brad Thank you Brad! We’ve listened to Western Swing for years and used to play a bit of it back in our bluegrass band days. Glad you liked it, J&B

Howdy J&B....and collaborators.
I dig this.
Cool title and topic.
Great lead vox & BGV per usual along with Peters' axe work. (I wanna learn to sing someday :))
Very well done!

J&B,
Well, when a foursome like you all get together, what’s to expect other than a killer tune. Janice’s and Floyd’s vocal go together like peanut butter and jelly—classic! Great mix and production—no surprise there either.
Excellent and fun tune. Enjoyed my listen a ton!!
Regards to you all,
Deej And thanks a ton! Good to see you back around. J&B

Nice to hear about your roots, yes, this songs sounds like your natural genre, but so does blues and many other you have explored, BIAB makes us all multi-talents The story has the feel of positive liberation and the lightly bouncing music reflects it nicely. Great vocals and floyd's harmonies are especially enjoyable. Peter's solo and Bud's mix leave nothing to desire. Janne

OUTSTANDING. All of you. Absolutely outstanding. Well done, Janice, in particular, for carrying off that solo ever so well, and for your part in writing this song. The whole thing is top notch, though. The harmonies with floyd are perfect. Peter's guitar playing is like he was born to do this thing (which I think he was!) ... and boy, it sounds like you're all having so much FUN - which is why we do this in the first place. Well done, Bud, for the lyrics - a big part of the reason why this sounds like so much fun - had me smiling the whole time, through Hats off to you all!

You are never on the outskirts; you're full on fun. Thank you Marty. I (Bud) have often thought that Janice sings like a method actor. She puts herself totally into the song while working on it and then walks away from it after recording. 😀 And you are so right - it’s all about feeling. Glad you liked it! J&B

That's a great song. Nice work with the vox, harmony and instruments.
I totally enjoyed this one.
