Hey you guys sound great on this one. Very sultry.
I like the line:
"I'd rather be lucky than good."
Pretty funny!
Enjoyed this one a bunch. Great guitar.
Glad you liked it. Tom Tom, Janice & Bud,
Great Jazz Blues! Great collaboration! You have a wonderful common language called "Blues" and I am truly envious from my perspective. Janice's vocal is wonderful ever on this tune. The true blues feel is overwhelmed from the whole voice and it is a masterpiece. Tom's guitar work is fantastic and outstanding. The mix is also exceptional. I’m not a blues man as same as Robert, but I enjoyed this very much!
Best regards.
Shigeki Adachi Yes Shigeki, we definitely are on the same page when it comes to blues. I have complete faith in Janice’s abilities. Thank you for the kind words, Tom

Tom / Janice,
This is truly outstanding in every way. I love how Tom's guitar sounds like it's about to go off the rails and Janice's vocal pulls it back in.
Tremendous sound guys...
Bob Bob, what a cool description! Thanks so much. Janice

O.M.G.
Over-the-top good. Music truly does not get better than this.
Everything about this is PERFECT. Little reason to parse out anything else. But... why not.
Janice - The. Best. Vocal. Ever. This leaves no question - You should be a STAR.
Tom - your guitar in this is hang-on-every-note worthy. Your Chicago is showing. Sweet.
The mix is I M P E C C A B L E. And just to be clear, here are listed synonyms for IMPECCABLE: flawless, faultless, unblemished, spotless, immaculate, pristine, stainless, perfect, exemplary; squeaky clean
WOW.
Just.... WOW.

I don't think I could put it any better. Love this one! Steve Thanks Steve, Tom Just a great blues song in every way, janice great job on the vocals, love the lead guitar and the drums just right in the mix.!!!! Glad you stopped by, Tom I love the blues and this is blues at its best!
If you would put out a CD of blues like this I would be the first to buy it!
This puts some of the new so-called blues artists to shame.
This is definitely a keeper.
PS- you all are not lucky you are absolutely good great!
Thank you Mario. Your comments are always appreciated, Tom

There's nothing I enjoy more than sitting in some smoky bar (well, they used to be smoky, not so much any more), sipping a scotch and listening to a great blues band do a great blues song. This hits that nail on the head. So much great stuff here...the lyrics are awesome, fantastic phrasing, and the performances are awesome. KUDOS!!!

Tom and Janice,
I don't know what to say about this. It's such a good listen.
Blues really sits so very comfortably with the two of you. From that attention-grabbing opening through every syllable of lyric and every note of guitar, this musical trip is completely engaging and professionally presented. I never cease to marvel at how talented the two of you are.
Wonderful music!
All the best, Noel
