This is another one of our Jazzy Blues. Working with Janice and Bud on these collaborations is pure joy. We seem to be locked in regarding the vision of the final product. Bud’s observations on the mix were indispensable. One interesting note was the use of two generations of B3 panned left and right creating a much fuller sound. All comments/suggestions are welcomed. Tom Style MIDI Instruments are : Fender Bass (34), RealTracks in song: 2167:Piano, Acoustic, Rhythm Country12-8John Sw 065 RealTracks in song: 1552:Guitar, Electric, Rhythm CountrySwingGrittyChop Sw 110 RealTracks in style: ~675:Organ, B3, Background Blues Monday Sw 065 RealTracks in song: 566:Guitar, Electric, Rhythm Blues Monday Sw 065 ('A' only) RealTracks in song: ~675:Organ, B3, Background Blues Monday Sw 065 RealDrums: RealDrums in Song: Nashville128^08-a:Snare, b:Ride MIDI SuperTracks in song: 1886:Piano, Solo-Accompaniment Bluesy12-8John Sw 060 http://tommyadamsmusic.com/musichttp://soundclick.com/share.cfm?id=12947295All I Do Your eyes tell the story Yeah it's getting kind of boring Sittin round here every night Bad dream we can't wake up Too much time to make up Seems you've lost the will to fight All I do is try to make you happy But I only make you cry When I say that I’ll always be true It comes out sounding like another lie. I pulled out that old sweater Maybe it's the weather But it's feeling mighty cold in here What started out so naturally It's hard to believe that actually It's gettin kind of weird All I do is try to make you happy But I only make you cry When I say that I’ll always be true It comes out sounding like another lie. ©2014 Thomas Adams / Janice Merritt

Hi Janice and Tom, What a wonderful listen! Individually, your performances are as professional anything out there on the world stage. Collectively, your performances paint a masterpiece. Très magnifique!!! I really liked the 6-line verses. The aabccb rhyme scheme is perfect and well set with two groups of two lines of shorter meter followed by one line of longer meter. (I was at a Steve Seskin seminar once and this line-length pattern of 'short, short, long' is one lyric-structure technique that he said he enjoyed working with.) The arrangement (in particular, the stopping of instrumentation on line 2 of the chorus) is creativity at its most inspired. There's nothing to criticize here. All I could do was sit back, close my eyes and enjoy  In fact, I'm heading back there right now to do that again! All the best, Noel

Tommy and Janice,
This sounds great! Unbelievable clarity in the audiomix here.
You guys probably use the audiophile edition? The drums sound really bright, and yes the panned organs work very nicely .
Janice, your vocals are terrific (again) the best I heard from you so far.
Regards,
Rob

Tom and Janice,
The stop at "always make you cry" is a masterpiece , really draws attention to that sad line.
beautiful guitar as always Tom, and need I say again that I think Janice's vocals are PERFECT.
Janice, your vocals are amazing.

We ways enjoy your analyzation of the song structure. I have to admit I never think of those things in advance. I am concentrating on the rhythm of the words and how they roll off the tongue. I'm glad you liked the stops. Besides Janice's impeccable vocal that was my favorite part. Tom Nailed it. Nice bit on the drums. Not really anything else to say. David, thanks for listening and commenting, we appreciate it. Tom

Hey Rob, Tom's on vacation so I wanted to see if I could answer your inquiry and then let him elaborate and/or correct me! I don't use the audiophile edition and I'm pretty sure Tom doesn't. I attribute what you are hearing to the use of Izotope's Ozone 5 on mastering and Necter 2 on the vocals. Tom is really good at tweaking these to make a production sparkle. I'm a work in progress with them :-) Janice says a big thanks to all who have commented on her vocals!! Bud

Really? He's on vacation? Again?
Love the opening licks. And the little drum thing at the beginning. And the way the piano guy comes in...nice.
Solid lyrics - and even more solid melody. Sounding new and old (familiar) at the same time. And OH! that singer! Every word sung like she really MEANS it. You were BORN to this, girl.
Tom - you just keep getting better and better in all aspects. This lyric is quite "natural" sounding. The production is studio quality.
Janice. You should be famous. Period.
Y'all done good.

Hi Guys and Janice.
Well, the production, arrangement, recording and mix just scream out professional whichever way you look at it.
Add to that Tom's wonderfully expressive guitar and the fact that I could listen to Janice sing all day long - you begin to get the idea that I quite liked this one.
In fact, I thought it was great throughout!
ROG.

Loved it! Janice's vocal is absolutely fantastic! That mixed with your outstanding guitar chops, backing tracks (love the B3), lyrics and stops coupled with a super mix make this a winner. If you two keep making blues songs like this you may want to contact Alligator records: http://www.alligator.com/I'm sure they would sing you!
