Excellent, yep, excellent. the only nit that stuck out was the bass tone in the intro - it's a bit aggressive/toppy when that naked though it sits perfectly for the rest of the song. The outro is wonderful.

I knew I was going to love this before I even pressed play, the duets you do with Janice are always just so good!
A little different feel wise than what I'm used to from you, but, I like it.
Nice build, I always like hearing that in a song.
Janice sounds awesome! And your vocal sounds great too, a little more reverb than you normally use? And then when both voices come together ... just such a perfect blend. Love the tradeoffs too.
Band sounds great and killer mix as usual.
It seemed much shorter than 3:22, and that's a good thing I guess!
Excellent floyd and Janice, really enjoyed this one!

What an intro Floyd (very creative)! I like Janice's approach to the vocal on this (sounds a little different for her but excellent...maybe a little more of a pop sound than country). Great harmony with each other in this! As usual the production is flawless to my ears! Not to mention that this is a great tune! The fade out work very well!! Thanks, Torrey

Floyd & Janice, Its great when a duet makes you wait for the duet part and then its even better than expected! Such a good build to the arrangementand the long fade works too. I enjoyed the romantic swing side of your partnership!

This was pretty cool. I enjoyed hearing Janice getting out of the blues track and doing something different. Nicely done.
I don't think the guitar solo fit as well as it should have. Tone was a factor. Trading off on the verses was cool and expected. I was waiting for the diet part. The chorus Harmony was good and sounded nice after the solo verses.
All in all it was a pleasure listening.

Floyd and Janice—
Well, as usual, the usual suspects are guilty . . . of turning out another terrific tune. Two outstanding vocals—really crisp and complimentary. Has a sentimental 70s type sound, but still fresh and new. So sweetly and expertly done.
Hope you are both well!
Regards,
Deej

This is perfect. Just perfect. Janice's voice is at its classic best and, when floyd comes in ... wow. The tune is so laid back (love it that it's so melodic and relaxed) and the lyrics are a dream to listen to. Whatever you guys are having for breakfast that produces such amazing talent and end results - I want some :-) Well done!

The melody took some interesting turns that my ear really appreciated. And then the way you both put such a nice skipping effect on "every little piece of my heart" made it a super hook. Of course, the singing was as good as it gets, and the production was primo.

Hi Floyd, Janice and Bud,
This is another very nice song where the three of you are involved in! The melody lingered in my head, long after the song ended. I saw that originally the song was made for a man to sing, but Janices' voice is a great addition to it. and it only asked for a changing of one word (girl - boy). But in this duet both voices sound perfect!
Also the instruments are well chosen for this type of song. But they sound so very bright (in my headphone). almost as if I was standing next to them. How did you do that?
Hans

Nice work on this - I like how poppy it is, definitely not the usual from Janice but it works fantastically well. Love the harmonies here, and thought the production was top notch. Thanks for sharing

This is one of those songs that I can't tell you where it places with me; all I know is I really like it. I don't mean places, as in 1st, 2nd...but more along the lines of genre. Honestly, I don't care. Great is great. I could almost have seen this being a Stevie Nicks/Tom Petty song. Again, it's not necessarily in their genres; but they went for great and this song has it. That being said, you two sound fantastic on it! Which is a REAL testament to all THREE of you! It's very easy to listen to this and completely forget that the two of you aren't actually singing together OR even on the exact same equipment! That shows a certain recording prowess that says it all. The arrangement it subtly doing so many things to keep you engaged without being obnoxious...or probably even obvious. But it is SO there! I can't tell you the appreciation I have for that! The mood hits me perfectly. Great melodic and supporting choices. I really love the grove and how it's played with. To sing with groove is something that is often over looked AND rather difficult to do. The builds with tension and releases from not only the harmonic content but the choice of what when is so great to hear. ...and it's now stuck in my head! It's a happy stuck though.  You three are retired? When's the tour?

This is very good song, and very good performance. Nice vocals, great lyrics and a pleasant blend in the duet portion. This song has some legs, I'm telling you.
If you wanted to put a bit more swing in there and some more aggressive arranging and instrumentation, it could also work really well in that style too. I think its great as it stands, no need to change it, but a really good song can have several excellent variations and still cut it.
