floyd, This is an example of how these dance loops can fit right into a country pop song. That guitar loop is really cool how it melts into the banjo loop. While listening I'm cheering on the song on like I'm watching the NCAA tournament. I yelling out C'MON BREAK IT DOWN! Then BOOM , there it is! All smiles. Janette's deliver again. Your song truck is a well oiled machine that backs up to your house and keeps on delivering. Your high standards and above all your attention to detail never disappoint. Always amazed, Tom

Mighty good country pop. Most, but not all the necessary elements for today's Bro-country. Got have a video and rap verse to be taken seriously... Echo's are a must...

A two chair turn around on the Voice blind audition round.

Adam would say he doesn't know anything about country but if he did, this is what it would sound like to him and Blake was a fool not to turn so he turned his chair to make Blake look foolish.

Aleshia would turn because she thinks this is perfect for Blake and she can't believe Blake didn't turn.

Gwen would say she didn't turn because she loves Blake and did not want to embarrass him.

Blake, didn't turn cause his button was broke....

Steve Goodman would tweet you another verse.......

It's hard to cover all the bases of a modern country song. You have made a serious dent and by any measure given us another great write, arrangement, production and performance. This is a very enjoyable listen and will sound great coming out, loudly, out of my speakers.

Enjoyed this.

Outstanding you guys.

Wow.

What a great song and what a remarkable blend of real tracks and live playing (I guess there was some.)

Truly you have proved your point. Brilliant.

Floyd,

This is just awesome! As you know, I am a real fan of your music. You have a knack for the pushing the envelope without sacrificing your stellar standards of quality, both lyrically and musically. Great song here, and good job of "showing off" Band in a Box!

Great song, great backing, great vocals, including Janice of course, and a great mix.

Well, maybe bring the solo up a bit (ha ha).

ROG.


Thanks, ROG. I knew you would want that solo up! smile We'll have you writing country in no time at all...

Bud was talking about the "beats" and the bottom end of this tune and I asked him what on earth that was all about. He then pointed out that I had learned the harmony listening on a mono bluetooth earpiece and had otherwise only heard it on our small monitors. So he streamed it as he had listened to our regular stereo system with subwoofers. I told him I felt like I was sitting at a traffic light with my car shaking smile

This was a lot of fun and now that I've learned something it is different in a good way. Thank you floyd for bringing in a country girl to this!

Floyd,

Seconds to this- very, very catchy radio-ready. Love the sprinkle of banjo and the harmonies.

Just listened to Gary sing "Take A Chance", and now right on its heals, this great song that asks to "Give me a chance".

Very catchy chorus. My foot's tappin'.

Thanks, Floyd.

Hey, this is one of your better songs in a while.

I liked the way you built this with the techno loop up to the chorus that really delivers the goods.

nice production chops with the break down on the first part of the chorus at 2:20... nice power comeback. The banjo needed to stop on the last hold.... JMHO.

Certainly has the Brooks and Dunn feel to it.

Plenty here to like.

Nice use of "modern" and traditional sounds. Like when you sing with just the drums.
Lovely arrangement at the end.
Great work.

There's one track in particular, Right Now.
We are big fans of Garth Brooks and that also makes us a fan of this song smile.
The Janettes are also in good shape (as always laugh )
Rob and Anne-Marie


Thanks, y'all. I have never heard the Chris Gaines/Garth stuff. Found a little on YouTube - but, surprisingly, not much. What I did find reminded me of Glenn Frey's solo stuff (which I've always liked)...

Very commercial and perfect arrangement. And we think you touched a nerve with all who have been in this position - the realization and agony of knowing you really screwed up! You've creatively depicted the bumps in the road to forgiveness ... sometime mountains rather than bumps.

It's a great listen but gives the listener a little something to think about. For those who have been there, you show the empathy. For those who haven't, you've forewarned of the perils of stepping on it with the the love of your life.

The Janettes are sounding as good as ever. Superb harmony! And your choice of tracks were perfect for the message ... we particularly enjoyed the banjo. COntrary to some ways of thinking, the banjo isn't just for Bluegrass and "hillbillies".

Excellent ... we're still smiling!

Alan & Di

PS: And who says we can't get modern with our country? Another rumor squashed!


Alan - what a nice review... appreciate it... hope you are both doing well..

As Greg said, the PG forum Hit Machine just keeps delivering!!! Everything a pop song should be and more.
Your main vocal and background vocals by the janettes are so good.
Bass drum is very cool in the mix.
Enjoyed my listen a lot.

Best regards.

If this doesn't get optioned by a Nashville label, they are asleep at the wheel. I can definitely visualize it live, crowd clapping and singing the chorus.

Another good one, Floyd.
