Thanks Brad and we are happy you mentioned and enjoyed the genre mashup!

Really, really nice.

Best to all of you,

Alan

You are too kind! But we'll take and appreciate it smile

Thank you! And we much appreciate your comments especially since you have a familiarity with the tune.
We are familiar with the Dead version and will have to check out Pentangle's.

Janice, Bud & Peter,

I don't know the original version, but I think this version is a masterpiece.
And I think the arrangement is a perfect fit for Janis.
I would recognize Dorian right away, because I often hear it in Scottish folk songs like Greensleeves.
I don't know much about musical modes, so I don't understand how they're used in this song.
Peter's guitar solo is also wonderful, and totally this is a great performance as always.
Enjoyed my listen a lot.

Best regards.

Nicely done

Janice and Bud,

I normally don't spend time listening to re-makes either posted on this forum, or YouTube, etc., however, since it was a 'bluegrass' remake it piqued my curiosity. SO GLAD I took the plunge into this one! Amazing arrangement, vox, instrumentation, etc.! A BIAB classic to be sure!

Thank you very much for those comments Greg. We three do appreciate every word of it. Regarding the mastering chain I've been using Ozone via a reference song of our choice. I then make major or minor tweaks to what it suggests - sometimes deleting or adding modules. We've been pleased with that approach. We select a reference song that is about the same tempo, same genre and female. We've used Lucinda Williams several times.

Best to you,

J&B

Well we are glad we made the cut! smile And we much appreciate your nice and supportive comments.
Old public domain songs are technically covers but we have fun rewriting the lyrics, tweaking the melodies and often changing the genre.

Thank you!
