Thanks. We're glad you enjoyed the dots. smile
I too struggle with the bass and often build an fx chain trying to get it to have a decent tone and cut through the mix. Direct Input bass RT's are much easier to work with IMHO.

We appreciate all your comments!

Excellent vocal as always! Great guitar work, Peter, loved the dual guitar parts especially. Good write and mix, Bud.

You three are great in my book, I love everything you do.

Thank you Dave.

Your comments, especially coming from a great blues man, are very meaningful!

And we also enjoy all your productions ... very much.

It's unusual for you to do pop music, not the usual blues, but really great.
Janis' vocals, sung over 12/8 beat, are amazing.
Peter's twin guitar solos are also wonderful.
Enjoyed my listen a lot.

Best regards.

Thanks Shigeki, you are a wonderful creative artist and we are very appreciative of your time to listen and comment.

The solo guitar sounds excellent (effects & melody) and I love the duelling parts. The lift up in the bridge is also nicely surprising, very creative guitar work.

I have run out of new ideas to describe how enjoyable Janice's vocal is, let's just say that I would be happy in any sinkhole if her voice was there to comfort me smile

Janne

Janne, your thoughtful and supportive comments very much help make this production thing all worth while.
Thank you for commenting on the vocal, the lyric landscape, Peter's guitar work and the arrangement.
And we are happy that with streaming you don't have to climb down into a sinkhole! smile

Thanks for all,

J&B

Loved Peters intro. So cool for the feel of the song. Another stellar vocal Janice. Backtrack was done so well. Such an original feel. Cool production Bud you are a master at the board...

Hi, J&B.

Janice on blues - what's not to like? smile

Peter sounds great here. Actually, it sounds a bit like something from LA in the '70s, where the top players just happened to be in the studio down the hall and sat on on this.

Vocal control, you say. Never heard of it. Is that some kind of ProTools thing?

Janice appreciates your vocal comment and we know Peter will be happy with your very cool description of the session.

Thank you! Makes it all worthwhile.

Hey Team,
Very moving tune. Brilliant arrangement. A+ to Janice vocals and harmonies, they really stand out. Very cool guitar tone and hot solo. Bud's production skills shine, everything has its own space, yet sounds as whole. "It was easy to turn reality into distortion".... ohh yes. Enjoyed my listen and thank you for sharing.

How did I miss this gem for so long? Nice stuff in there. Write more songs. The melody is vaguely familiar like an old friend.

I like this.

Glad it worked for you Herb. The lyric is a mashup of three thematically similar writes I never finished.😀
