Your Blues StreakOK, we get it … not everyone’s genre  but here’s a slow burn eight bar blues rock tune with plenty of guitar. Bud wrote the lyric and Janice the melody/progression to give Peter an opportunity to let it all hang out. Janice again doubled her vocal - the old school way, i.e., she sang it. If interested your time to listen and comment is much appreciated. Thanks to PG Music and Peter. Lyrics are on SC.

Great song, great lyrics, great vox (of course), and what a showcase for Peter! Killing it with the real deal blues. This was the only kind of music I played for decades and I still love it. Great to hear it here, brought back great memories. Thanks, team!!

Love it! Peter's hot guitar licks and Janice's vocal(s) are simply stellar. Terrific vibe and mix and production.
p.s. The producer's notes are way up there too:)

Hi J&B!
Great singing, great band, great mix - all set up to give Peter a solid platform to play his lead and boy, did he play! Lots of cool phrases in there to grab the ear.
Wonderful!

Janice, Bud & Peter,
Such amazing performances by everyone. Stellar production and mix. This track has it all!
And that doubled vocal by Janice is superb - power and tone all the way.
Love everything about this song. You guys never miss!

So Smokey my eyes are BURNING!
Nicely written in that classic blues form. Super lyrics, slithery progression, GREAT vocals, and deliciously long and angsty solo. Nicely mixed, too.
Man, that went by FAST.
Candy for the ears, even if my eyes are STILL stinging.

Hey Y'all:
Great tones, and production and dynamics on this one.
A lot of elements came together beautifully here; the songwriting is tight, and the lyrics are bluesy as hell and perfectly suited to the vibe. The performances and production sound incredibly polished as usual—everything sits just right, and it comes through crisp and clear. Fantastic work.
It may not be everybody's taste but it's damn sure my taste. Cause I am a country redneck bluegrass addict like a bat out of hell. This is my native language.
More please.
