Written Six years ago Janice sang harmony with floyd on his song Written. We always thought Written ranked with the absolute best of the classic country tears in your beer songs...period. The two of us have long appreciated this style and during our band days we performed some of those classics. I had been thinking about a country project and asked Janice about this tune. She was reticent as floyd had sung such a powerhouse version of it. But I prevailed  and asked floyd his thoughts which resulted in a “heck yeah!”response. So....a brief sojourn back to the country. Both comments and your time to listen are most appreciated. Thanks floyd for the many collabs and support...it’s been a fun six years! Oh, gotta mention that we stole his arrangement...from start to finish.

J&B & Floyd,
Sitting back and savouring the nuances and feeling of Janice`s wonderful vocals ( the harmony track as good as the lead)- guess there`s nothing else I want to listen to now!
Others who know country classics better than I may draw comparisons, but why not just admit this song is on a par with the best teary hits ever?
Love everything about this... and, thanks as I wasn`t around for the earlier version.
Robert

Hi all
Floyd's lyrics, Janis' wonderful vocal (and those backing vocals - wow) plus a pedal steel guitar.
Who could ask for more?

Leon

Dear Janice, dear Bud, dear Floyd,
maybe you remember that very early Stones song 'It's The Singer, Not The Song'.
Well that's not always true (there are songs even a bad singer couldn't really spoil), but when I hear you singing, Janice, it's just your voice, your phrasing, your soulfulness that draws my full attention and keeps on giving me shivers on my back. So beautiful, so emotional...
You have got to know me a bit meanwhile and you know that I'm not that country guy. But I sure can tell wether or not a composition is outstanding. And, heck, this one is so darn good.
And although I don't have any experience in the genre, I felt right from the start that this composition must have been written some time ago - scrolling down: Yes,1998 - a bit different from the way Floyd writes today, but still amazingly good.
Your and Floyd's musical connections are really something very special and precious.
Bud, you arranged the song so well and made it sound so beautiful- you really have the hang of that matter, no doubt about that !
Awesome in every respect !!!
Truly,
Stefan

Country soul burner to my ears.
More Floyd fabulousness but through the J&B lens.
Loved it.

Nicely done - loved the vocals on this. As usual, Janice knocked it out of the part. Those harmonies are top notch, and I like how gentle it is. Loving the groove too. Thanks for sharing

Sounds so good without Floyd!  Just kidding.... Nicely re-done. I love the mix and vocals. FJ/J&B, you happen to have a link for the old post from 6 years ago? I wouldn't mind hearing the differences between the two versions. Thanks!

I don't remember this one from before, must have been when I took some time off from music and didn't hang out here much.
Excellent song! floyd knows how to write them, that's for sure.
Man, I always love hearing Janice sing, especially when she brings in the harmonies! Such a great sound.
Good job on the production and mix as usual, Bud! CLA Vocals sound great! A little more reverb than when you were using Nectar maybe? Whatever, I really like the sound.
Really good, enjoyed!

Janice & Bud
Not unexpectedly this floyd jane song is simply stunning.
Truly wonderful vocals (those harmonies are lovely) drive a beautifully written piece.
An excellent intelligent set of lyrics, on a great musical bed.
Bud - nice work on the mix everything sits as it should and enhances the musicality of the song.
A great job all round on this classic sounding song.
Peter

Hi J&B
I do love that steel sound.
And my apologies for calling you Janis, Janice. The poor old brain lets me down at times.
