I really like that title. It's one of those titles that makes you stop and want to listen to see what that song is all about.
What can I say, Janice's singing and Peter's playing is once again primo.
The instrumentation seems to be a slightly different direction than your usual, which sounds good: I just thought it was a change.
Masterful mix.

YES!!! Love the groove happening with this one.
Vocal arrangements are GREAT! Love the BGV's. Janice reminds me somewhat of Imelda May on this one, the phrasing mostly. Very, very good!
Peter's playing is right in the pocket of course, as per usual.
Great mix, Bud, also as per usual!
Lovely stuff, well done guys and gal! Thanks Dave. It’s cool that you mentioned Imelda May as we are fans. Love that show she did with Jeff Beck. Thanks for all! J&B

Hello Janice and Bud,
Jazzy atmosphere that puts us directly in the mood. Jani's voice, always so sensual, still pleases us as much. The lead guitar and the Hammond organ reinforced this warm atmosphere. The mix is great. Well done.
Kindly regard
Dero13
alias JaniJackFlash Thanks for the kind words. They are appreciated! J&B

Very catchy timeless feel-good song, a bit sinful story but an independent woman singing about choosing her own way is a modern subject  Playing, singing, mixing and selecting the right RTs are once again flawless. Janne Thanks Janne! We appreciate your insight. J&B

A very catchy song everything coming together nicely with an excellent vocal, that bass and Peters guitar shinning throughout
Credit to the engineer for putting it all together as well.
Enjoyed the listen. Thanks for listening and glad you liked it! J&B

J&B and Peter,
That chorus is really well done;lyrics cleverly tongue in cheek and a cool swinging melody to match.Janice puts her unmistakeable quality ( like she`s right across the room singing just for you!) into the vocals and harmonies.
Its interesting to read all the different genre places this sends listeners... and it seems you had a few choices style wise to pick from ( with a gypsy fiddle,like Tunemonger, I could have heard Dan hicks in this).
I like the choices you made and Peter`s fine contribution.
Robert
Thanks Robert. We were indeed all over the map initially deciding where this would land genre wise. We're glad you liked it and Janice is most appreciative of your comments about her vocal. That "right across the room" vibe is what we strive for! J&B

Great, great, great as usual!
It's a strong song with a terrific vocal and a wonderful Band (love that guitar Peter).
You guys just keep pumping out marvellous tracks.
Stay well,
Mike Thanks Mike. That is appreciated! Take care, J&B Janice & Bud!! You guys always bring a good-feeling smile instantly after pushing the Play. Wonderful lyrics and a top-notch production. This forum has some of the best music I've ever heard, and you guys NEVER fail to please. Peter, you guitar is so very tasteful. Excellent all around!!! And now for all the things I could say to make this better: We appreciate the spin and the supportive comments. Speaking of smiles you put one on Janice's face when she read this! J&B

Yessiree. Another breezy, swinging tune, with Janices sultry vocals and Peter's tasty guitar contributions. I gotta say, when I see Janice and Bud on the label, my expectations are already high and you never disappoint. I really enjoyed the lyrics and the story about the No Fault Zone. Great guitar work on there Peter! You folks make great collaborations - looking forward to more We appreciate the time to listen and even more so the nice review! J&B

The thing about you producing so many quality songs is that I get to expect it from you every time I click on a new song link. The amazing thing is that you never disappoint.
Janice is, well, Janice. 'Nuff said. The production is crisp and clear as a bell. Nothing more to say - another top level production! When are you guys coming down from that top level you keep maintaining? haha. Doesn't look like any time soon, at this rate - thank goodness. Sincerest, most genuine congratulations! Thank you! We always appreciate your support! J&B

No surprise this getting so much attention J&B + Peter, Very good in all respects. Your creative drive is amazing. I just do not understand how it is possible to come up with such quality in such a short period of time, without cutting any corners. Enjoyed it very much. Thank you for sharing. Misha. P.S. If it is not a secret...How long did it take team to do this from start to finish? Was it a simpler tune that was done some time ago and you expanded on idea, or you started from scratch?

Masterful mix. Thanks for those thoughts. It was a bit different with the bass in particular. BiaB and Peter give us a lot of options! We appreciate your comments on the mix also. Glad the title got your attention!

PB&J, The decision to use the Acoustic Bass and guitar was a wise one. It gives it a timeless feel. Another great lead vocal and the harmonies bring it up a notch. A great title with some fine lines in a perfect write for the genre. Peter's fine guitar lines spice up the production. Mix is spot on. Another good one in a long line of collabs. My best to all three of you, Tom

If it is not a secret...How long did it take team to do this from start to finish? Was it a simpler tune that was done some time ago and you expanded on idea, or you started from scratch? Thank you Misha. We always appreciate your support. For most of our productions the work flow is: Bud - lyric - rough progression > Janice - refined progression on her guitar > Biab for Band & arrangement > All tracks to Logic Pro > Rough mix to Peter for input > Janice - vocals > rough mix to Peter > Peter- guitar tracks > Bud/Janice/Peter - mix ideas > Bud - mix and mastering. Janice is a one take vocalist almost always. When she’s ready she’s ready. Peter sends me a boatload of tracks in very shorts order. And I settle in to the final mix. It’s hard to say how much time. Janice and I spend much, much more time hiking, mountain biking and trail building. We work the music thing in amongst them. We are retired so that helps. Really hard to put a time on it. It’s more like an hour here and there. We don’t obsess over it. I appreciate your interest and wish I could be more specific.

Band-in-a-Box® 2024 Review: 4.75 out of 5 Stars!
If you're looking for a in-depth review of the newest Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows version, you'll definitely find it with Sound-Guy's latest review, Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows Review: Incredible new capabilities to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs.
A few excerpts:
"The Tracks view is possibly the single most powerful addition in 2024 and opens up a new way to edit and generate accompaniments. Combined with the new MultiPicker Library Window, it makes BIAB nearly perfect as an 'intelligent' composer/arranger program."
"MIDI SuperTracks partial generation showing six variations – each time the section is generated it can be instantly auditioned, re-generated or backed out to a previous generation – and you can do this with any track type. This is MAJOR! This takes musical experimentation and honing an arrangement to a new level, and faster than ever."
"Band in a Box continues to be an expansive musical tool-set for both novice and experienced musicians to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs, as well as an extensive educational resource. It is huge, with hundreds of functions, more than any one person is likely to ever use. Yet, so is any DAW that I have used. BIAB can do some things that no DAW does, and this year BIAB has more DAW-like functions than ever."
