Hi J&B and Peter,
What an incredible presentation!
Janice is brilliant. From start to finish, she well and truly owned this song.
Peter's guitar work is powerful and fits perfectly. I don't think I've heard him play better.
And Bud's mix is extraordinarily good. I love how all the instruments have their own space, yet come together with such impressive clarity.
For me, this was a extremely enjoyable 'musical experience,' not just a 'listen.'
Music doesn't get better than this.
--Noel

Agree with all other previous posters…I’ll add that I think it’s very cool that you linked the 100-year past with today in your production. I learn a lot and take inspiration when I listen to stellar work like this!

Janice, Bud, Peter.
Y'all are all top-of-your-gaming it.
Janice made this her own. No one could top that.
Peter does his best-work-ever. There is almost as much emotion and feeling in that guitar as in that woman's voice. A near impossible task.
A mix so good...you do not notice it.
It does not get better than this.
Good album cover.
fj Thanks mr jane. We much appreciate your thoughts. And above all your mention of emotion and feeling in vocal and guitar is very special. We had hoped that vibe would be established for the listener. Your affirmation of that made our morning ... a cold snow on the ground morning! Thanks again, J&B

This grabbed me from the first note. Dark blues, which Janice sings out of the city, state and country, never mind out of the park. Peter's guitar playing is perfect for the song ... dark and so broody, it's as if he speaks to you. The production is of the high, professional standard that Bud ALWAYS brings out of the hat, with no exception. Love the sound effects, too  Janice, though, has to take center-stage, here ... almost raspy, but not harsh at all, singing in this one, at times .. and, at other times, beautifully plaintive. The harmonies are beautiful, too. Congratulations to all of you for making this song sound this good. Your time to write such a thoughtful and very supportive review is appreciated by the three of us. We could not ask for kinder comments. Makes it all worthwhile! J&B

Stunning production. Sounds like you went to a Nashville studio. There is so much to like about this, but standout is the vocal, guitar, and arrangement. A thoroughly enjoyable track. It's amazing how you transformed that old piece of sheet music into this. Thank you. The production comment is very much appreciated as are all the others. It was fun starting with the sheet music. Glad it all worked for you! J&B Interesting backstory and a very nice resurrection of an old song. Dark blues works very well and who could be a better interpreter of it than Janice Those bends on are amazingly emotional especially on "Chloe", harmonies are also great. Peter's solo work is excellent, really moody with the right effects and the modern sound. The mix is pleasantly airy. Janne Could wish for more! Janice really had fun with this one. And we agree that Peter accented the vocals and the whole vibe of the tune very well. Thank you, J&B

Janice, Bud & Peter,
It's amazing how you brought this 100-year-old song back to life in the present day.
It's certainly different from a simple blues progression, with parallel minor keys mixed in.
Janis is amazing for singing this song, and Peter's guitar playing in support of her is also fantastic.
Enjoyed my listen a lot.
Best regards.
Shigeki Adachi

Listening to this gem of a song is like stumbling across a quiet backstreet blues bar for the first time and being mesmerized by a band you've never seen or heard of, playing a great sounding song that you're hearing for the very first time. Yes, that has actually happened to me on a few occasions over the years in various towns and cities all over the world.
I love this style of blues and Janice's vocal is so captivating. Peter's guitar work sounds great too.
Bravo guys !!! Man, that is hugely appreciated. Your reaction to it as expressed by your very descriptive and cool write up is priceless to us. Thank you big time! J&B

--Noel That is very kind of you Noel. Given how much we respect your talent those comments are very meaningful to us. Creating a musical experience for the listener is an excellent but hard to obtain objective. We are so glad you said that. Thank you! J&B
