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. Janice's voice always gives me the shivers and so does Tommy's guitar. So guess what? I really loved this. Beautifully done guys! John 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.

Hell yeah I'm traveling again. Anytime I get the chance. I'm already planning the next one. Glad you liked the arrangement and production. As you well know, working with Janice is downright inspiring. Thanks for commenting on the lyric- not trying to change the world. Just setting a mood. Tom 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! Thanks folks! I sincerely appreciate your comments about my vocal. It's so much fun to work with Tom's compositions and guitar. Janice

John John, Living in Florida & Georgia, we regard shivers as a bad thing. But we enjoyed your comments anyways. Thanks, we do appreciate it. Tom Another sweet and tasty tune!! Really nice musical vibe, killer guitar from Tom and a vocal to match from Janice. Another great effort guys! Take care. Greg Greg, Always great to hear from you. We are glad you liked it. Tom 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.

Mario, I have been a fan of Bruce Iglauer and Alligator Records from the beginning. There is some super music on that label. Thanks for the generous comments. Tom

Wow! Just big ol' jaw droppin' WOW!
where to begin? This is perhaps the most visually evocative song I've heard in a long time. I can almost see the lead character saying all these things to her man as they slow dance in a honkytonk. Her words are flavored with beer and she's playing with his collar as they slowly make their way around the dance floor.
Cass Elliot would have to improve dramatically to come up with a performance half this good. What Floyd said about you should be famous...? yes, you really should. Maybe you'll be the next Eva Cassidy... unknown in your lifetime, but the body of your work will be rediscovered someday and somebody else will buy the rights from your estate for a pittance and get filthy rich.
And Tommy... I'm listening with headphones, and I'm hearing all kind of interesting tricks you slid into the production... one of my favorites is the way you pan the drums during accents! And the rock solid arrangement of instrumental parts... I know it didn't come out that way the first time you generated each part! There's clearly a lot of tweaking in this project to make it sound so thoroughly live! I absolutely love this song!
I'd say more, but the alphabet just called and complained that I'm using too many letters. (awesome job.. really!)

Wow!! Just Wow!! This is an amazing song. I really enjoy this whole production but could also imagine this song being done in a Honky Tonk Blues style and running up the country music charts. Good music is just good music. I have never been able to explain accurately what it is that I consider good music, but this is a fine example. And I just now read Pat's comment, so here's another WOW!! for good measure.

Pat, I absolutely love the creativity of your comments. I have said from the 1st time I heard Janice that she has a special gift. Thanks for your comments on the arrangement. Bud was a great help in hearing some critical parts of the mix that I was missing. Together we made it work. We always enjoy hearing from you! Tom Wow!! Just Wow!! This is an amazing song.

JG, Thanks for the WOW. We can always use a few more of those. Much appreciated. Tom

Bud was a great help in hearing some critical parts of the mix that I was missing. I'm REALLY glad you said this... It's so easy for Janice's incredible voice to become the only part of the review that gets any attention. But Bud and Janice are definitely a team, and most of our reviews tend to lack sufficient comments about the MANY valuable things that Bud brings to each of these projects. I've often admired the way Bud so graciously steps back into the shadows when the world is showering the project with accolades. That's the mark of a person who engages out of love, not out of a desire for attention. Gotta respect that. A lot. Writing amazing lyrics, creating pleasing arrangements and making creative observations about possible enhancements to a song are just a few of Bud's special gifts, and I feel compelled to say it out loud for once instead of presuming that everybody knows it. You too Tommy. As awesome as you are at just about EVERYTHING... in any given set of comments about a collab between you and Janice, chances are pretty good that we're all so busy talking about Janice (and rightly so!) that you are probably not going to hear a similar number of comments about your contribution. (Which is always HUGE, by the way) Bottom line, your collaborations are awesome because the sum of everyone's contribution simply pushes it over the top... every time! Thanks to all of you for bringing such good and inspiring music to the User showcase!

Thanks to all of you for bringing such good and inspiring music to the User showcase! Pat, I sincerely appreciate that. Janice and I have such a long time and wonderful relationship that everything we do together from mountain biking, kayaking, hiking, working around the homestead to music is simply a pleasure. Yes, there is a lot done "behind the scenes" but as you pointed out it is, indeed, a labor of love. Our collaborators are so easy to work with and so helpful that it is simply good old fashioned fun! Well, maybe with the possible exception of having to learn so much new software at my somewhat advanced age. What really ices the cake is when we read remarks like yours. It is easy for me to slip in a state of doubt about the validity of what we are doing.....and then I read your comments and it all seems worthwhile. Thank you.

Yes! The mix is tight. The guitar draws you in and the vocal knocks you out.
You've certainly found a winning combination of creativity.
