Man, you both really shine on this one! Knocked it clean out of the park. I love some good ol' western swing to begin with, but I sure thought this was a good write. Fun, uplifting words with a snappy, catchy beat and melody. Janice, you always do well with your vocals, but you really seemed to kick it up a notch here. And, Bud, how do you do it? You always do such great productions, so how do you improve on perfection? You sure seemed to do it here. I never would have guessed you used several different tracks for that lead guitar. Great choice of instruments and they are all perfectly placed. I'm on my 3rd listen now. Thanks for posting guys, this was great!
Brad Brad, a positive/supportive review like this makes it all worthwhile. Your comments are very thoughtful and touched on exactly what we hoped to accomplish. And a special thanks from Janice for mentioning the vocals and the write. Much appreciated! J&B

Hey Janice & Bud
I'm fond of this song ! It swings like hell ! The vocal fits perfectly into this kinda music and the electric GTR solo sounds very cool...Nice ending too
I also like "Lady Luck, "It 'ain't esay" and "Back water", very nice bluesy music (SC) Thanks! Glad you liked the swing. And we appreciate you mentioning those other songs. J&B Hey Guys,
I listened to this a few days ago and left a comment on SC. Just the past two days have I had enough time to come over here to forum for a few listens.
This gives fun the proper definition. Noah Webster and the Meriam Brothers should have checked with folks before defining fun in dictionaries. But then, ya'll would have been pretty young back then!
That was some mighty fine listening!!!
Alan Thanks Al! J&B

Loved this tune. Awesome vocal Janice. I must say some very cool basslines Bud. Excellent backtrack and perfect production.

That's exactly what I expect to hear in an old-school saloon in your neck of the woods.
Funny and entertaining, enjoyed my listen a lot! Thanks! J&B This is pure fun! I was smiling from the first beat onwards, very appropriate tempo. Uplifting message, nice change of musical scenery  Janice's voice is truly an instrument of its own - like a guitar among guitars and a fiddle among fiddles, so versatile and full of nuances. Very pleasant band, I especially enjoyed that solo guitar. Janne That certainly put a big smile on Janice’s face! You are very kind and thanks for mentioning the RT guitar. We appreciate it all, J&B What a fun and cool track!! Sounds authentic as an old time western swing tune. The vocals remind me of Johnny and June. This works at all levels. Thank you! That was the vibe we hoped to achieve. J&B J&B,
Well, that was fun . . . but then you did kinda ask for it! Terrific little tune . . . great vocal as usual, but I really enjoyed the vocal harmonies that really made it pop for me, and reminded me of some of the oldies. Cool tune!!
Deej Thanks and the harmony mention is appreciated! J&B

Janice & Bud,
Lovely song, standout vocals, beautifully mixed and performed.
Cheerful, fun and great ear candy (ear lollies certainly doesn't sound right).
