Thanks Ember.

Bud, will rephrase your previous Moto: Do not stay plain, it's a trap!

Really cool stuff, feels like being in a live joint. Everything sounds wholesome, like delicious loaf of bread from the oven.

Probably a matter of taste, but I would prefer solo guitar parts to stand out more. To me, feels a bit "even" in mix. (Please do not hate me for this comment smile )

Congrats to all of you!

Misha.



Thank you Misha. We appreciate your support and positive review! And you have no idea how many times the guitar went up and down and up and down with me struggling for the sweet spot! smile

Loved this and got quite a chuckle from this:

"This mix is an attempt to be somewhat “in your face” but not smashed against the ceiling"

You hit the nail on the head. Loved the vocal and especially Janice's call back to herself. Very cool. The backtrack was so solid and the mix and production was just perfect. Peter laid down some awesome guitar work. Such cool tone and phrasing. Definitely put the in your face stamp on the song. Well done..

Good "blues" write Bud, "I can't turn on a dime" is a great hook!

I like the little walkup Peter does to start off the solo, and I can see where Kenny got the SRV reference from. Stevie did something similar in one of his songs (Pride and Joy maybe?? Don't remember). But, a very cool move and really helps to build the solo. And the 7#9 chord (I call it the Hendrix chord) always sounds great.

Slowdown at the end is a nice touch.

I think the mix works well, lots of stuff going on but I can hear things clearly.

Overall a great blues/rock song! I listened a few times this morning and will be back again.



Thanks Dave! I wish I could've done more with the hook...didn't get much beyond it smile Yeah, when Peter added that chord to my SGU I asked about it and he schooled me on the Hendrix thing! That walkup drove me nuts trying to get the bass "right" on it. Had to comp it in. It was Peter's idea to create it with the shots as was the slowdown. Glad you like it. I worked to try and thread the needle to make it not sound overly dense.

I wasn't expecting a blues number with so much rock emphasis- but it sure was a terrific surprise. i think the last time you folks put out a less than perfectly stellar song was when Jesus was still a carpenter!

Sweet!

We appreciate every bit of that Al. It’s insightful, supportive and funny. Yeah, guess this is more Rock Blues. It’s always fun to edge out a bit and BiaB plus this community sure helps with it.

Janice, Bud & Peter,

Really nice shuffle rock blues!
I agree with Bob.
Love the count off and intro... Another tremendous performance by Janice with some really cool layers of background vocals.
And I also agree with Tangmo.
Sounds like a song to close out a big concert show with everybody on stage.
Enjoyed my listen a lot.

Best regards.

Pretty typical well done lead guitar for this type of blues. I have to laugh when I listen to the intro....use to have a piano player who thought he had to play wide open on everything.

You guys did a good job of keeping the vocal where it needed to be. That would not be an easy song to do live even with a good sound man. Even with in ear monitors the vocalist would have had a bit of trouble.

It is a lot of fun to play with a large band doing blues if the players know when and know when not to play. The arrangement becomes very critical.To make it sound really good requires a large degree of professionalism.

I like most everything you guys do. This one kinda takes me back home. Good stuff!!

Thanks,

Billy


With your familiarity and love of the genre to take you back home means a LOT. thank you very much!

Bud, Janice, Peter,
You know I'm always a sucker for a good wig out! This is a first class rocker with guitar (very Strat-y!), vocals, arrangement and mix to match. Well done all, I loved it!

Well, this works for me. Bud, you need to change your name to Bud Spector!

All the great things that I have come to expect are here on this one, as well. Great job on the vocals, Janice. Great job on the guitar, Peter. Now, go build another wall, Bud!

Great sounding piano. Drums and bass are loud and punchy. Sizzling guitar. A vocal on fire!

Some of Peter's bast work, I think.

Janice has come to define perfection. This vocal has an effortless it's-what-I-do swagger. As good as it gets.

Not a thing about that mix that needs to change. Tight, tight, tight.

Flickin' a bic in each hand...

"Flickin' a bic in each hand..." Hahaha....doncha know that must've driven the fire marshals nuts.

Thanks for every word you said and thanks for playing and continuing to play a HUGE part in my production journey!

You all outdid yourself here - thanks for sharing smile

Greg, you are a great singer and obviously have a fine ear for melody and phrasing so saying what you did about Janice's vocal is very meaningful to us.

Thank you!
