Hi there J&B + Peter.

Well first of all, it sounds fabulous.

I could write reams of superlatives about the usual things - Janice's superb vocal,
Peters clever guitar work, the excellent mix, but what impressed me most of all about
this track was the arrangement.

I mentioned how professional your arrangement was in my last review, but even since then
I'm amazed at how your skills have developed and matured. Too many productions fail because
the backing doesn't change at all throughout the song and the interest wanes, but this song
has textures. It's the attention to detail, all the little bits which appear and then are
gone again, the various mood changes, all these things take time and effort, but are what
ultimately make the track professional, as well as enthralling.

Yes, it all sounds fabulous.

ROG.

Hello Janice and Bud,

Superb composition. The solo voice is superb as well as the choirs. It's really professional. The guitar is really in its place and intervenes just when it is needed. Very very good job.

Kindly regard

I can't surpass all those beautiful compliments you received on this song, so I suffice with saying it is a very, very strong, beautiful song. Of course Janice vocals are at her best (again). so pleasant listening to. But I must not forget Bud and Peter! Without them Janice would have been the only star...

Hans


Hans, we deeply appreciate you taking the time to make this very thoughtful response.

And Janice says thank you!!

J&B (and Peter),

Really, really cool take on this. Terrific listen, outstanding production. The clapping in the background, accentuated with Janice’s terrific harmonies, give this such depth and richness. Peter slays the solos. Slick stuff!

My best to you all,

Deej

Dang, Y'all. Love the simple, groovy and gritty backing. Luscious bass and handclaps, guitar chords and fills. Janice carries this old gospel thing with a reverence and grace. The background vocals take the whole vocal treatment into the fields. Sweat.

A special note on Peter's part: As much as I love it when a lead line provides a different take on a different melodic idea, I love it when a guitar player just takes the melody on. When Peter's part came in, my goose-bumps got goose-bumps.

My favorite from the three of you.

I don't understand this:

As an arrangement/interpretation of a traditional tune we own all rights to it per PG Music’s policy for posting.

What is PG's policy for posting?


Thanks! Cash may have done a version as I vaguely recall. We’ll check it out.

Above the forum heading are PG Music’s rules for posting that state in part that you must own all rights to the posted song.

If you produce a unique version of a public domain song you own all rights And may copyright it. But some folks think it’s just a cover and that you don’t own it. That’s why we make that statement - so folks will not think we are posting a cover.

Thanks Scott. Yeah digging into the production thing can surely cut into music time! But although often frustrating it is fun. We appreciate your comments.

Ed, those are very generous, supportive and most appreciated comments. Thank you for mentioning so many things we hoped to achieve. Made our evening!

Polished and raw at the same time. laugh

Love the cajon. It's amazing what can be done with that box. A number of years ago, my son was playing his cajon at youth conference. The sound guy miked it up and did some magic with the EQ - it got a nice low thump and crisp snap of the snares. Almost a full drum kit sound.

Polished and raw ... that is an excellent description of our objective. Thank you!

Thanks for the cajon thoughts. I used two mics to try and isolate the “kick.” You mentioned the snare sound your son got. Janice didn’t play a snare part this time but it does work well. There are some loose wires in the box that you can adjust for the snare sounds.

We do appreciate your supportive observations!
