"Can we put a good IPA in one of those coozies or does it have to be a Bud Lite?" Bud Lite?  Yuck!!!!!! We are working on an I-75 IPA, though. Got some graphics done already.

Been out and away for a time.... so getting back to listening to the tunes here.
Nice one. I love the lyrical craftsmanship on display here. Some really good lines and Floyd pointed out.
The only thing about the song that I didn't like was in the end she thought it could still work and was headed back to "daddy". I know it's a song, but my sister in law went through this and through this and through this and we were trying to help her the entire time..... she was hit, threatened with a knife and lighter fluid/bic lighter, and more.... she finally got out and has stayed out. She's now married and the slime ball is also married to someone else.
All that aside..... hey, a really nice tune.... loved the steel playing.... I would probably have shortened the solo up a bit and turned it back around into the chorus but hey.... it works, so let it roll on down the interstate.
Good job to all.

This is epic!!! Great write, great vocal, and some of the best guitar/pedal steel playing I've ever heard. I bow to an incredible ax man! So much life in the lyrics. Chorus is brilliant. From the intro (where I thought of the Allman bros.) to the last note, I was mesmerized. AWESOME job guys!!! Take care. Greg Thanks Gregg. It's interesting that you mentioned the ABB because Bud and I thought that the melodic intro reminded us of Betts. Thank you so much. Janice Superb writing and performance's in all areas thanks for sharing! Tom and Janice, with both of you guys in a collab it is a sure pleasure listen. Superb voice and guitar picking.
Mike B. Thank you Mike for mentioning Tom's playing and my vocal! Janice Tom and Janice, with both of you guys in a collab it is a sure pleasure listen. Superb voice and guitar picking.
Mike B. Thank you Mike. I am happy that you liked it! Janice

Hi Tommy and Janice,
This is great!
Tom, we didn't know you also played the pedal steel, magnificent!
Good lyrics, vocals blend very well together.
All in all a very smooth sound.

Hi Tom & Janice.
Very, VERY professional throughout.
Classy piece of writing with a classic country storyline and beautifully arranged, played and sung.
The only thing which I found difficult was reconciling the up-beat backing with the extremely sad story, particularly the inevitability of the last line.
I get the feeling this would make a great film.
ROG.

Super cool. Got that style off 100%. Cheers. Richard, what we tried for was three bluegrass instruments and three electric instruments. Thanks, Tom Excellent country write guys.
Just love a good story.
Rob Rob,Thanks we appreciate it. Tom & Janice...
An excellent write. Strong and tight. (I did want "On 175" to be "headed up.." as well). The chorus is spectacular - classic.
"there’s been stories on the news bout what they call abuse
Is that us I ask myself but really what’s the use
never been apart since we were in our teens
How the hell do I know what co dependence means"
Nice.
Terrific melody.
The production is squeaky clean. Nice opening. The mandolin - a nice choice - the skip/train drum, too... The guitar is sweet. The steel is gorgeous (I keep finding myself listen so intently to it that I miss the song - so I listen again...)
The vocal is perfect, of course. I don't know if ANYONE could do this better.
The harmony is perhaps the best I've ever heard here.
floyd
f, I hear what you are saying about the on I75 part. It probably would have made it a little more cohesive. On the other hand I was trying for a beginning, middle and end. By leaving the middle just on I 75 it was intended to make her seem undecided since it didn't say up or down. All in all your idea would have simplified it and I wish I would have thought of it. Thanks for the nice comments and yes Janice is very highly developed in her craft and Bud and her are a pure pleasure to work with. Tom

floyd
Thank you floyd. It was sweet of you to say that about my vocal. Tom's arrangement made my part easy to sing. But the story was very tough to work with. Bud and I have discussed these situations where the woman keeps returning to the person she ran from. It is so sad and hard to understand codependency. Janice

Guenter Thanks Guenter. We are glad you liked it. Tom Very good song and one of your best collabs. Janice's vocal is a given. Especially liked the chorus and the harmony. Loved that steel - I'd like a user track of that style picking Tommy. Josie , Thanks for the nice comments. If I ever get the time I will explore user tracks. I confess I haven't even looked at them. Tom Good song, great production and performance. One of the best from you guys. enjoyed this one a lot.
Charlie Charlie, I was hoping that you would like the style. Thanks, Tom

It was a pleasure to work with Tom on this. Janice Good song, great production and performance. One of the best from you guys. enjoyed this one a lot.
Charlie Thanks Charlie. Tom really did wonderful arrangement and production. Bud is still pointing out sublties in the mix that sound so good. Janice I enjoyed this a lot. Thought it was a really good tune. I like Honky Tonk and Appalachian, so this is a good blend to my ears. I'll let the experts comment on mixing and such.
My buddy Lewis and I create what we call Nuclear Appalachian....lol...a mix of Appalachian and Jazz with whole tone scales and the like used. Strange stuff for sure...lol
When I listen to this it felt like I was listing to the radio station, which is to say, it is as good as most and is better than many songs I hear on the radio.
Keep up the good work.
Cheers,
Billy Thanks Billy. I really do appreciate the kind comments. Bud and I laughed out loud at "Nuclear Appalachian!" That is a strange brew

Cheers,
Billy Thanks for the kind words Billy. Bud and Janice have a long history playing bluegrass and I played in a honky tonk band for many years so the blend of styles was a good fit for us. Tom Bud, Janice and Tommy. This is absolutely phenomenal! What a very sad sad story and one that so many people are living on a day to day basis. Beautiful. I read somewhere about songwriting is about telling a story without giving the house away and this is exactly what you have done here. Janice's vocal is beautiful. +1. Tommy, your PSG work is reminiscent of Jay McDonald who was Buck Owens' original PSG player in The Buckaroos back in the day. Tom Brumley replaced him and I haven't found anything on YT by Jay. Jay had a signature bar-rocking that you've definitely got working for you, especially in the intro. Janice' beautiful vox knocked this out of the park! Thanks for sharing. Don, I am familiar with Jay McDonald and Brumley created one of the best steel solos ever with Together Again. Janice continues to astound us all with her vocal abilities. Thanks for coming by and commenting. We appreciate it. Tom

Well written, sung and played. floyd covered all the details.
I love the clarity of the mix - it's great being able to hear all the instruments, yet understand all the words the first time through the song. David, we are always glad when you take the time to comment. Thanks, Tom Janice, Tom and Bud, THIS is country as it should be, you 3 should be STARS! Everything about this is just perfect. Vocals, guitar EVERYTHING! This was the 2nd loud song for my neighbours today and the little old dear, as mentioned in my response to Rob Thurlow, waved again! (I was hanging out the washing at 6.45am and she was doing the same and she waved when I played his song loud) I'll ask her later what she thought of both  A very good way to start my day, thank you Alyn Alyn, I just hope they don't kick you out of the neighborhood! Thanks for the great review. Tom

This is great!

ROG. ROG, It's interesting that you mentioned the upbeat feel. I have found that sometimes in an extremely sad or depressing song it is a little easier to listen to it when it's not slow. Sometimes it works , sometimes it doesn't. Thanks for the fine comments. Tom This is a great tune. Powerful lyrics, a beautiful vocal and some awesome pedal steel and guitar work.
Bravo!
Thanks for the music,
Dan Dan, We thank you for your complimentary review. Tom
