Such a pristine sound! Vocal is smooth and expressive. Love the vocal slides. Peter's guitar work hits the mark.

"I think I could make a profession out of revenge" Fantastic line!

Beautiful write. Janice, you really crushed these vocals. Reminds me of Linda Ronstadt without sounding exactly like her. Just a beautiful, big emotional punch.

Bud, the mix is perfect. This is a fabulous song every way I think about songs.

Really enjoyed it!

Man, those supportive comments are much appreciated. And Janice said just being mentioned in the same paragraph with Linda is a privilege. Thanks for all!

As always.... one of your great songs.
Yes, the subject will be recognised by many people, but that's life.
Indeed a little bit different from your other songs, but certainly not less good!
Janice's vocals are outstanding (as we expected), the music's great and Peter has done an outstanding job.
You've done it again guys!

I love the way Janice comes out swinging on this one - gritty and edgy. She sings everything here with a great intensity. Really excellent.

Love Bud's production - clear and glassy with edge to match Janice's vocal. I also really love the reedy tones Peter is getting from his guitar. That's a great sound.

Just great music all around!

Bob

Bob, Janice was delighted to read your comments. I (Bud) have encouraged her to go a bit gritty every now and then so your comments were very supportive. I’ll mention also that it was all a single vocal take. We agree absolutely with your comments on Peter’s playing and I appreciate the mix comments as it went through many permutations before landing. Thank you!

I listened to this a couple of days ago but failed to come back and leave a comment. The more pages you turn on the calendar. the more often such things happen! I've turned so many pages, I have calendar blisters on my fingers!!

I particularly enjoyed the bass line, in addition to the overall brilliance of this song.

Great song in every way. You three always serve a delicious offering! Who and how much do I tip?

If anyone wants to hear some great music, I just point them to Soundcloud and the PG Users Forum and suggest a few talents - J & B one of them.

Great music from great people!

Howdy Folks,

Well, I guess everything I was thinking has been said in the few comments already posted.

But I'll reiterate in different terms - a damn good song by some of the best music makers on the forum. It was a treat!!!

Best to all of you,

Alan

Glad it grabbed your attention. Would not want it to be too relaxing. 😀 Thanks for the kind comments!

The I premise is a good one. Great title! I love the diminished chords as well as the super vocal. The production is very clear and the drum sound is excellent. Peter once again adds the nice complimentary touches. Your bar is set very high and once again the three of you have cleared it with room to spare, Tom

Thanks Marty for the nice comments regarding all.
Glad you like the mirror as we know you can appreciate the editing it took.
Mastering? Well, I remain a work in progress regarding it and I learn something new with each project.

Much appreciated!

Thanks mr jane! Yep, Bud said mixing the vocals was a bit frightening 😀 but he hunkered down and finished it.

Hi Bud, Janice and Peter,

Like all the others above me here, I enjoyed the song a lot and in every aspect; the style, melody, vocals, the band and the mixing.
Great!
So, no complains? No, other than that I warned Janice a lot of times by now, she always seeks the wrong friends... (except Bud).
So I'm glad her revenge is served very cold. That must be something...
I therefore reward this with a triple A status!!!

Definitely a winner!
Great chords, killer guitar, and I have yet to hear a Janice vocal that I don't like.
And, Bud, what you do with the faders is as good as it gets.
Winners all around!

Wow! You mentioned everything we hoped to accomplish. And that is very much appreciated!

Janice, Bud & Peter,

This is a new type of song for you.
It's a perfect blend of blues and slightly innovative chords, and it's very comfortable.
Peter's guitar intro is great.
Following that, Janice's singing and harmonies begin, and the atmosphere of the song suddenly becomes more intense.
Enjoyed my listen a lot.

Best regards.

Thank you!

This was a fun production venturing a bit more into the rock side of blues rock.

PS I (Bud) heard a variant of that line a while back in a series and it stuck! 😀

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."
