Rough Edges Another Bud “silly little ditty” lyric for Janice and Peter to do their thing with  I (Bud) was presented with a mixing challenge (aren’t they all?) when Janice sang (in addition to the lead track) five more parts on but two tracks (had ‘em arranged in her head so they wouldn’t need to overlap). Girl caught me by surprise!

Bud, Janice & Peter,
You sound like you're up in my neck of the woods recording at Big Pink in 1966, but the sound and production is so much better... LOL!
This is truly outstanding work. From the write to the vocals, instrumentation and production, this song is just a great snapshot of your musical world.
Absolutely loved it!
Bob

What a tune! Everything about this one drew me in. It has tons of energy, and Janice's vocals on this are stunning. The harmonies are smooth as butter, and that chorus is a total earworm. You should be proud of this one - thanks for sharing

Wowza!
Man, I love all those vocal parts, just outstanding! I'll bet it sounds great acapella.
Love that modulation to Bb, nice smooth transition.
And always enjoy hearing Peter do his thing.
Nice job on the write and mix, Bud.
Well done all, very much enjoyed this one!

PB&J, Cool opening. Let's you know more good stuff is comin'... What could be better than Janice singing???... FIVE of 'em!!! Of course! Great vocals (needless to say, say it anyway). A big "live sounding" mix. Peter's guitar sounds good - nicely played. Nice punchy bass... A good we-lived-it write. Good music. Well, what if...?? fj

One of my favorite things to do is to hang out with another couple who have a few miles on their tires, listening to stories. So this just filled me with smiles.
Fantastic backing, certainly including Peter's tasty licks and timing. Janice sounds great. The layering of back-ups is very entertaining and "lifting". Well arranged too, with that key change coming in at the right spot. I like this a lot.

I really enjoyed the lyrics, especially this part:
"in this wild ride there’re always more bridges to burn
let’s try a few more before we reach the point of no return "
Great job!

Definitely a live "in the round" sound and feel of being in a band circle.
LOVELY all over, round, under.

Hi Janice and Bud (and Peter),
You made a very happy sounding song. I immediatly got a smile on my fasce when listening. It sounded like the late 50's.
And I agree fully with what Leon1 said in his post; the way Janice sang all those voices brings the song to a higher level. Did you do that with Nectar 2?
Also the choice of the intruments is very good. I liked that piano. It feeds the mood of the song very well!
Hans

J&B and Peter.
Cool song! Clever wordplay. Multi vocal "takes" work very well on this! Peters's guitar fits in perfectly!
Mix is A+ Listens very well. Great team work!
Thank you for sharing!

Ok Bud, I'm going to do something I don't typically do. I know you mentioned you struggle with lyrics at times. I TOTALLY believe you now. Rough edges? C'mon man! This is not rough edges! This should actually be called... Hiwhwyptagomwargatcawewtadasoytwtay! I have a feeling there will be that ONE person who will ask about the title. For those of you who aren't good at textese/abbreviations that title is short for... "Here is what happens when you put together a group of musicians who are really great at their craft and work extremely well together and drop a song on you that will truly amaze you!" However, it's fairly obvious that would have been entirely too long. Thus, the much easier abbreviated form. In all seriousness, the song is just jaw dropping. The guitar, the production, the singing, mixing...you name it. Even the album artwork creates the perfect vibe! It all just works so well. I'm especially fond of that wall of background vocals. I'm such a sucker for that. You just don't hear that very often. There is a reason.  Thanks for sharing such an incredible song!

Dear Janice, dear Bud, dear Peter,
I had the great honor (and pleasure, of course) to listen to this incredible song before it was published ,and one of the first things I said was, 'You'll get millions of excited comments on the forum'. Although there are still some missing, the ones you already got show that you really nailed it with this song.
Now that I could read the lyrics for the first time, I became almost unhinged: Your song is telling my amd Maha's story... How the heck did you know it...?
Musically this song is just another treat in the endless row of killer songs I've heard from you. Let's start with the composition - marvellous, love the harmonic shift at the end. Lyrics - see above. Arrangement, choice of instruments - top notch all the way. Mix - fabulous, like others sid it sounds 'live' and I always love to have that feeling listening to songs. Guitar licks and solo - just PeterF: awesome.
And (I saved the best for last): Janice, you're simply stunning - I'm absolutely running out of superlatives.
The way you recorded the backing vocals is totally beyond my imagination - Bud, I admire you for mastering such a challenge.
Have heard Rough Edge for so many times now, but still can't get enough of it!!!
Take care,
Stefan
