Congrats on a wonderful song from the Ameriblock genre. It's like a friend of mine once told me, "Americana is like a a whole lot of little tents." I'm pretty sure I got that right.

Anyway, I think the morphing may have brought a new spice to the mix that give it a nice flavor.

Peter-really great job on the arrangement, the guitar tracks, and the drums. Having arranging ability shows in your playing and considerations. Those toms are their own song to me. Jaw dropping. Great job!

Marty-It's all about that bass, that bass, no treble. Well played! Sorry to say, but it didn't surprise me that it sounded so good. If it would have been sub-par would have been the surprise. smile As ALWAYS, exactly what is needed.

To all of the Janice's-I am going work on improving my vocabulary. Wow! Isn't cutting it anymore.
Most singers try to hit notes like dots on a page.
Janice "No...listen, you connect the dots!"
It sounds MUCH better thanks to your ability to do that. It's more than just being able to hear. It's more than just being able to "hit a note." It's realizing that emotion is a flowing at various rates of pitch and tempo. That you feel rhythm does NOT go unoticed! I hear your influences in the arrangement as well.

Bud-You took great parts and showcased them. That takes a talent that I will never understand beyond extreme appreciation for it. Take it from someone who could take those same great performances and make them sound horrible! I hope by now you know that your stage is one I always am grateful to be in the audience for.
Tight lyrics written well. Some interesting rhymes for sure, which don't sound forced in delivery at all.

As far as the cover, it certainly grabs your attention between the color and the Janice's expression. I know people have hired others to play or sing on their songs; but is this where we are at with album covers? We're hiring models now?

PGMusic-I didn't catch your real name, but great job. You seem to be a bit of a Jack and Jill of all trades. (Hey, I may have a lyric there? Someone's probably done it already) Anyway, it seems you are making a big splash around here. I feel like somehow you are part of so many projects I've heard. That's right, I'm really paying attention; and not much gets by me! From what I can tell, you are inspiring a lot of people around these parts. Keep up the great work PG!

I so enjoyed the every aspect of this. Thanks for that!

Thank you all again.


It was our pleasure. All the way.

Thanks for the kind words!

Janice & Bud - Peter & Marty ...

It seems every time I hear one of your songs, I feel like the five-year-old kid I once was (in prehistoric times!) who had his hand in the cookie jar and didn't get caught! I got all the sweetness with a fabulous taste and left with a big smile on my face.

Tasteful, classy, nicely-assembled and perfectly delivered. A well-oiled machine with some extremely smooth-running parts. Purrs like a kitten and makes you smile. All the accolades had been used before I got here, so I couldn't think of a better way to say - damn, that's good!

Wishing all of you the very best. Take care ...

Alan

The Band has a great groove. Peter's guitar, Marty's bass and the piano and drums...Rock Solid.

Pro-level mix. Perfect.

NOW YOU’RE JUST WATER UNDER THE BRIDGE"

Nice!!!

Y'all are firing on all cylinders.

Cool album cover!!

Another AAA production from the team. I can hear how that hook couplet inspired you to write a song around it, it would me. "Picture on the fridge, water under the bridge." Great stuff. Also dug the slide solo. Great work by all the team members!

Thanks Leon. Generally I (Bud) never know what’s in her head until recording time smile and when it comes to the BGV’s she makes it up a bit as we go. I’m just along for the rides!

Glad you liked it.

Of course, Janice's lead is always the star, along with Peter on the guitar.

You can take all your baggage / and lighten my load

Nice write, too!

It's a bit "busier" than your usual arrangement, but no less enjoyable! smile


Thanks! Appreciate the mention of the lyric. Yeah it’s a bit denser … trying to pretend I know what I’m doing with a more like rock groove smile

Janice - you already know the things I usually say!

Great mix - got the sound of a live band and works well up LOUD without breaking up.

Loved it.

Thanks ROG for every word! And extra thanks for mentioning the live feel as that is our hoped for objective.

Hi Janice, Marty, Peter and Bud,

What a good team you are! And what a good song you made!
When the harmony vocals come in the song gets an even higher vibe or maybe I must say some more swing. That makes it all very pleasing to listen to.
The lyrics are very visual and beside that I don't like the idea of being water under someones'bridge, they are well written.

A day ago I asked Floyd if he could remain humble under so much attention for his oeuvre, but the same goes for you too. wow, what a lot of -deserved- compliments!

Janice's voice has a slightly different tone in this song...sort of a light sweetness.

Oh god, love that guitar solo. Kudos Peter.

Thanks Chris. A little DAW tweaking can always help a RD sound more supportive of a particular song. Glad you like it. I’m assuming loose is good smile

When we first read this we were speechless and pretty much remain so now. Wow!
It's difficult to describe how inspiring those words are. We all thank you so much.
And extra thanks for mentioning the photo as Janice reluctantly tolerates me talking
her into such. She defines modesty smile And even more thanks for mentioning the drums
as there were so many tracks my head was spinning trying to put them together.
And Janice much appreciates your comments on the "bent note" singing!

Best to you and the family,
