J&B...classic blues done to perfection...what a great track! Bud this is technically five star stuff...the band and arrangement are spot on...crisp, clean and every musician in their place...Janice, your vocals are always matchless...great stuff! Merry Christmas to your home from mine.

Hey, Ya'll ...
You folks can get more from a I-IV-V arrangement than anyone I know. Loved the drive of the acoustic bass without the typical boom. And, what more is left to say about Janice's voice and Bud's mix-mastering? It's all been said - and every word well-earned.
Merry Christmas.
Alan Thank you for that review! And we appreciate the bass mention also. As an upright player Bud does not like booming. 😀 Happy holidays, J&B

Janice and Bud, as usual another winner.
An outstanding blues song however it will not give me a Blue Christmas, a song I would love to hear Janice sing!
Great mix - super job on that Bud.
Loved it.
Have a very Merry Christmas and a safe and happy New Year. Janice loves Blue Christmas! She and her sister used to sing it together many years ago. Thanks for the nice remarks. And happy new year! J&B

J&B,
Wow was Janice ever born to sing the blues! I know very well that she is the queen of positivity and I always appreciate that, but this girl can sing the blues! Bud you've arranged and produced a magnificent track here! You two always bring the best that the BIAB forum has to offer!
Thanks, TB

Hey this is really fun. I am pretty sure I remember this from 10 years ago when I had my 2014 starter kit with 32 Real tracks and I thought I was the bees knees.
My how time flies. Still sounds good!
Happy Holidays!!! Time flies like an arrow … fruit flies like a banana. 🤪 Thanks David! We still work with a number of those early tracks. Happy Holidays to you two also. J&B

Hi, B&J. Janice singing the blues? It's like Christmas came early with a Gaudete Sunday present.  The remaster is clear and sounds great through my monitors, although I'm sure it sounded great before the remaster, too.  Thank you for the nice comments. And Happy New Year to you and family! JB Cool stuff there. Nicely done. Thanks Herb, Happy New Year J&B
