Always something to look forward to when you folk post.
That bass gives a really cool, and thoroughly authentic, thud that matches the kick really well.
The amp sim on the rhythm guitar is very cool.
Excellent ensemble work...lovely licks from Peter, real walking bass from Bud and oh, what a voice.
Cheers

A fine blues song, well written and beautifully sung (what else?). Nice tone from Peter and good to see you dusted off the upright bass, Bud - sounds good.

Leon

I know I, and I believe others, have mentioned that you sound like a band. Every time I listen to your music I get the strongest imagery in my head of "your band." I mean, it's SO vivid I almost feel as though I have actually seen you three (and additional players) playing in this club. I have that to some extent with others; but yours really brings me there. I've come to the realization that it's a combo of how everything is performed and then the treatment of that performance that gives it that realism. The authenticity also helps Great song. Next time we go, I'll buy you a round of whatever you all are having. Thanks for sharing this!

Good blues song, sung beautifully. I've heard the phrases 'six feet under' and 'with the worms,' but never 'under the grass.' Nice originality. Great work by all involved!

Janice, Bud and Peter:
Yeah, classic blues this—from the sound, the lyric to the vocal—it’s all there in all the right places. Just the right touch on the backing to let Janice’s vocal shine. The typical great work on the guitars and solo by Peter. Killer stuff, folks—well done!
Kind regards to you all,
Deej

Clever title! Good to hear Bud on bass! Nice guitar work as well - loved the trilled solo from Peter. And, of always, Janice sounds like she lives and breathes whatever genre she sings.

Hi Janice, Bud & Peter,
'It's good to see you're still on top of the grass' - love that phrase !!! And it's good to hear you're still in the front line of us BIABers, too !
Great classic 12-bar-piece, exactly the way it should be.
Janice, what could I say that I haven't said before a dozen times? Your singing is just awesome. Period. Nice work on the guitar, Peter. And, Bud, if I remember it well, this is only the second time I've heard you petting that old monster (watch out for backache, man) - looks like you don't need no preparation or even rehearsing - just grab that baby, blow the dust off and here you go - sounds perfect to me.
Great sound (as always) - can't image what more a blues lover (like me) could ask for.
Loved it!
Take good care,
Stefan

Such a wonderful blues song. Janice's vocal has such feeling that stirs the soul. Peter adds so much taste and touch. Now let's talk about that 1951 Kay Swingmaster. Dude! Do not let dust gather on that classic. It's cool that Fender invented the electric bass the same year. Your playing is excellent on this. By now you should have your callouses back and we'll hear more, right? You guys are lining up to be a very versatile band.

Always love hearing Janice and Peter always adds the perfect guitar parts.
And now, Bud is adding the perfect bass part!
Good song as always, enjoyed!

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."
