A blues song that brings a big smile to my face! Great vocals Janice. of course, I loved the production and the tender, heart felt guitar solo as well. Great team effort J & B, and Peter!

J&B, Peter...I'm very partial to acoustic pieces and this is done to perfection....Janice is certainly fitted to this style of music...sultry and with just the right interpretation and tonal inflections for these old classic R&B blues numbers....Peter is extraordinary on the flat-top...super tone...Bud...your bass is the perfect match to complete the trio...just great (as usual)!

Superb. Mrs Merritt ... wow. What a voice. Love the staccato end of phrases on the word "luck", and a few others. You know when to hold a note and when to cut it short  Also, your tone is OUTSTANDING, and perfect for songs such as these. Peter's guitar playing fits seamlessly into the song. Not too much, not too little. Well done, Bud, on the mixing, too!!! As others have said, I too concur: Bessie Smith would be so proud. What a board chock-a-block full of talent we truly have, right here, at the PG Music User Showcase forum. Long may it continue ... I know I'm guaranteed to hear good music if I log in, here. Thanks, PG Music ... whatever you do, please keep it going ... this truly is the best Artists' Corner that I know of, online! Thanks a lot. Peter Janice, Bud & Peter,
Outstanding all around... Fantastic vocal by Janice. She always brings any song into a completely new space. Her delivery is flawless, emotive and holds your attention like no other.
Love the upright bass by Bud - it's just a wonderful sound. Peter's acoustic guitar playing is superb. Also, love the way the production and mix totally fit the acoustic sound - hard to do and done so well.
You all are making this old music completely relevant and making new history with it.
Loved it all!
Bob Thanks Bob appreciate the comments. Peter

Janice, Bud & Peter,
Rhythm and blues songs are really great.
Even if it is performed in a new style, the essence remains the same.
Unfortunately, I haven't heard the original version so I can't compare it, but I think this version is really great.
Vocals, performance, everything is top notch.
Enjoyed my listen a lot.
Best regards.
Shigeki Adachi

Bessie Smith, hey? We are lucky some people had the presence of mind to capture several of her performances on film. Remember "Give me a pig foot and a bottle of beer." ??

When the three of you decide to rework these old classic blues numbers they come out brand new and could be released and I’m sure they would have a place on the current charts. You won’t hear anything better than this on Americana or a Classic Blues station. High quality vocal, guitar, bass and production. There is certainly nothing much better than this here or anywhere else for that matter, Tom

J&B,
You all are quite the pros/experts at reviving these old PD tunes! Great vocals and percussion Janice! Bud is a wonderful bassist! Nice guitar solo! Super clean production that really sounds great to me! Sounds like it was recorded in a major studio!
Take care, TB Thank you Torrey for all you wrote. Glad you like the bass and Janice’s cajon. It was a fun production. J&B

Man, this sounds really good y'all.
I do love me some live acoustic now. It sounds like the way Jerry and Chester and me used to play it. Y'all would have fit right in. I used to know an old boy round here by the name of Doc Watson who might have joined in for that one. But he's gone on to play for Jesus now. But that's what I am talking about! Keepin' it in the family and keepin' it real.
But, I am afraid that Bass won't be in the family too much longer.
Bud, I am about to offer you 50 dollar, cash on the barrel head, for that bass thumpin' box of thunderin' buffalo noise you got there. Now that is my last offer, so you might as well pack her up. I will take Janice's old Martin box, too, since you know it ain't worth more than maybe ten or fifteen dollar, as old as it is. You can trust me. I's a friend and I would not lie to bluegrass fambly that way.
Be by shortly to seal the deal. Glad you liked it but we’re gonna have to negotiate your offers a bit. 😀 J&B

I really enjoy this acoustic approach, so easy on ears. Cajon, Peter's guitar and the upright bass blend nicely with BIAB instruments. I can imagine this being played live, very nice laid-back feel. Janice is definitely the Lady Luck, everything she touches with her voice turns to gold, exceptional work here once again Janne

I'm never disappointed when I listen to a song from you guys.
I really like everything about this song, and the icing on the cake (as always) is Janice's vocals.
Love it! Thanks! J&B

Hi J&B,
Bessie again!!!
She would be very jealouse/ or proud if she could hear Janice. I think it's 'proud'.
Janice, what a nice performance. And what nice you have a very good band behind you, with Peter there.
I think, beside Janice's' her voice the acoustic 'band' uplifted this song into a toe tapper (or maybe it already was).
A very nice Blues, really enjoyed!
Hans

You say different, I say same. Same incredible talent. Same best version I've ever heard (although this is one I haven't heard before, past examples lead me to believe there is none better). Love the all-acoustic approach, and Bud back on the Doghouse Bass. Janice, some great singing (same). Peter, some fabulous playing (same). Bud, some sweet slappin' (same). Outstanding mix and marvelous master (same). Thanks Marty! We appreciate every word of that particularly given this was a bit of a different direction for us. J&B Ace performances by all involved.
Janice captures the bluesy heart of the song.
The acoustic solo sounds so era authentic. Much appreciated!! J&B

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."
