Great tune. Well written with a good hook and so well performed in all aspects by all participants. I had a lot of fun listening to this. I loved the fact that you used Bud's mothers gourd for the shaker!

This what happens when some of the forums best musicians, the Band-Not-in-a-Box, and the best accompaniment software, the Band-in-a-Box, join forces! The result an exceptionally well produced song.

As usual everything is spot on.
Bud should play more often.

Loved it.

Bud...the thud could settled mud and is exactly what the song requires.
Peter, this is a great showcase for your many skills - you do a fab job.
Janice - solid rhythm, Good Gourd! Melody & harmonies that are ace.
A terrific piece from writing to mixing.


We appreciate that Ray. We tried a few different things and are glad it all worked for you. And Bud thanks you for the bass mention.

Thanks for the support!

What a fun song!

Love the vocal of course, and especially the harmonies.
Peter's playing is top notch as per usual, and fun hearing you in the mix too, Bud, solid job on the bass!

Wasn't expecting the modulation, but it worked a treat.

Excellent track, very much enjoyed.

Ain't nothing better than a Janice, Bud & Peter song to start your day. Such a happy wakeup song. A wonderful vocal with just the perfect touch of harmony so well done by such a talented percussionist. The driving bass in the experienced hands of the best guy for the job. Then you bring in the best musicians like Peter to present such a delightful song in such a masterful mix. Thanks for all that!!!


Enjoy whatever happens!

Great vocals (and background vocals!) as always.

I really like Peter's slide guitar. No BIAB soloist is needed here ;-).

Rob


Thanks Rob for all the kind words. Bud played bass for about 45 years in bluegrass bands but very rarely dusts it off nowadays. smile

This is SO good. Where do I start?

The writing. It's so well written, it could and should be right there with the classics of this genre.

The singing. Janice can sing anything, we all know that by now. But how does her voice improve with every new song? I wish I knew. There's a downward glissando on there that she does (I'm listening again to find where it is, in the song) ... wow.

EDIT: found the slide. At around 1:40, on the "just be good and stay a while". Ah :-)

The production, the mixing, Bud and Peter's contributions: seamless. They let Janice's voice shine, one doesn't even notice that they're there, but, without them, it of course wouldn't work.

Oh, and Janice's harmonies. Legendary, by now :-) - and so they should be.

Great job, really great job. For me, the writing stands out, but it's like saying which star (out of a constellation) shines brightest. It's all amazing, that's my point - even if, for me, the writing is that something extra. Congrats!

Bouncy little tune. Classic Janice and Bud sound. Peter's guitar is magical and really establishes the style. Harmonies are spot on. Bud's mix is as good as it gets.

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."
