Well, at this point there's nothing original to say. REALLY enjoyed every aspect of this tune. Standards are a lot of fun but require thoughtful performances to keep them fresh. Kudos to everyone involved for an inspired take on this classic. Vocals, bass, guitar and BiaB parts all nest together perfectly. A real pleasure to listen to. Thank you! The three of us released an album of public domain songs; however most of them were obscure forgotten blues tunes from the 1920’s. But you are right when you taken on one like this that has been done by many artists it does take some consideration of where to go with it. We are glad it worked for you. J&B

A wondrous thing. The bass is fab...ab fab but everything in this is.
The BIAB contributions are on point, he guitar licks lick and bite, the bass marks the progression and the vocal - oh yeah. Thanks Ray. Peter

Peter and all the gang,
Everybody here is doing is really hitting the mark on this cover of the old tune! Hey, that Janice girl is pretty good (as if nobody hasn't noticed)! Great guitar work and production! It has the sound of an old school bluesy gospel song!
Thanks, TB

"Yeah, good one, guys."  Sorry, Peter. It seems I forgot the other part of my post. When Bud sent me a preview of this magnificent piece... well, here was my full reply. oh, man, oh, man... Used the headphones and glad I did. It was almost at the 2-minute mark when I realized my mouth was open the whole time. Seriously I don't think that's ever happened. What a treat this is. Thanks so much, Bud. Good lord, that guitar is out-freakin-standin' front to back. Is that last acoustic strum Peter? I absolutely love how it starts out with Peter taking one --maybe especially cuz I know that Janice will soon follow, but Peter makes that anticipation a thoroughly enjoyable experience. THEN ---> when she DOES come out with that most incredible vocal... well, I'm on my 3rd listen... erased all the crazy stuff that spewed forth from my blown mind. Now, when Peter does post it, I'll just be real cool like, "Yeah, good one guys." Bud, your bass sounds perfect. Perfect touch and taste, and you mixed it like Goldilocks would've wanted it. Anyone remember Paul Harvey? Now you know the rest of the story. Good day! Thanks Marty for all of those most positive comments. They are supportive and much appreciated and Bud adds extra thanks for the bass comment. J&B

Hi Peter, Janice and Bud.
By the end of bar 1, I knew that this was going to be a superb listen, but I had no idea just how 'superb' it would be. As I said on Soundcloud, this was exquisite listening. Everything about this fits perfectly. The production and the performances were 24 carat gold. Stunning music.
Janice, you OWN this genre.
Music doesn't get any better than this. Absolutely brilliant!
--Noel Thanks for the listen and kind comments Noel! J&B

Hi Janice, Bud & Peter,
I can't believe I've never heard this song before. I looked it up on Youtube and there are literally hundreds of covers by almost every famous Jazzy Blues artist of the 20th century.
I particularly liked versions by Lena Horne, Dinah Washington (and believe it or not) Dean Martin. Some of my favourite artists (Satchmo, Leon Redbone and Sam Cooke) - I could not even recognize the song.
Anyway - well done for finding this classic and giving it a whirl - most interesting.
I must admit - I would prefer the vocals and guitar at twice the volume but that's just me.
Good effort.
Best Regards
Nigel

Hi Guys,
Please ignore my previous comments re volumes - Janice's vocals are a good level - maybe 50% more on the guitar to match the vocal volume.
Best Regards

Peter (and Janice . . . and Bud):
Wonderfully done . . . sits right in your sweet spot, a genre you all do really, really well. No exception here. Outstanding vocal on this one to boot (as always, but Janice at the top of her game). Excellent!
My best to you all,
Deej Thanks for the kind words Deej! J&B

Baby Won't You Please Come Home Another one in our Public Domain series. "Baby Won't You Please Come Home" is a blues song written by Charles Warfield and Clarence Williams in 1919. The song's authorship is disputed; Warfield claims that he was the sole composer of the song. The song has been covered by many musicians and has become a jazz standard. The first hit version was Bessie Smith's 1923 recording, which stayed on the charts for four weeks peaking at No. 6 thank-you for posting the history of the tune. Very interesting. I can see why it became a standard. Yet you made it sound modern with the tastefully done mix, vocals, bass, & guitar too. Way to go! Best, Chad Appreciate that. Peter

We tried to make it sound fresh - at least with the blues rock genre. 😀 J&B

As others have already said: everything sounds great, from the guitar, bass tucked under everything thing, Janice's vocals the intertwine through the lyrics, and the clear mix. The guitar is... well, perfect. Everything just fits. It's especially fun to hear Janice switch from a languid phrasing to rhythmically hitting the beats. Fun!  Thanks David Peter Another great song and I'm always increasingly impressed by Janice's vocals. Thanks Peter

Yeah occasionally Janice slides 😀 away from melismatic phrasing. Bud

Band-in-a-Box® 2024 Review: 4.75 out of 5 Stars!
If you're looking for a in-depth review of the newest Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows version, you'll definitely find it with Sound-Guy's latest review, Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows Review: Incredible new capabilities to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs.
A few excerpts:
"The Tracks view is possibly the single most powerful addition in 2024 and opens up a new way to edit and generate accompaniments. Combined with the new MultiPicker Library Window, it makes BIAB nearly perfect as an 'intelligent' composer/arranger program."
"MIDI SuperTracks partial generation showing six variations – each time the section is generated it can be instantly auditioned, re-generated or backed out to a previous generation – and you can do this with any track type. This is MAJOR! This takes musical experimentation and honing an arrangement to a new level, and faster than ever."
"Band in a Box continues to be an expansive musical tool-set for both novice and experienced musicians to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs, as well as an extensive educational resource. It is huge, with hundreds of functions, more than any one person is likely to ever use. Yet, so is any DAW that I have used. BIAB can do some things that no DAW does, and this year BIAB has more DAW-like functions than ever."
