Hello together
When top musicians record a song together it can only be good
And this song is fantastic !
GREAT collaboration
Many greetings
Andi ;-) Than you Andi! J&B Yep, floyd is playing lead guitar! This is a current mix with different drums, new fx and new mastering of the eight year old original. Howdy.... This is a stellar track in all aspects. Very classy and Janice's vox is pristine. Every one else stole some of my thunder.  Very well done! We appreciate the kind words! J&B

Boy, you always work together well, but I think this one really shined. I'm always jealous of Bud's mixes, and I think Janice did exceptionally well with this vocal. I'm sure glad Floyd came back at you with that solo guitar. I knew he played guitar, but don't get to hear him on lead very often. He had the feel just right in this one, and nailed it well. Great job one and all!
Brad Thank Brad! It was fun eight years ago and fun again with the remix. And thanks for mentioning the mix. J&B

Cool blues, smooth guitar and smoother vocals.
Pro all the way.
Really liked this.
https://soundcloud.com/user-646279677BiaB 2024 Windows For me there’s no better place in the band than to have one leg in the harmony world and the other in the percussive. Thank you Paul Tutmarc and Leo Fender.

Hi Janice, Bud and Floyd,
Oh, what nice vocals on this beautiful slow blues!
Janice, you know how to outdo yourself again, while that looked imposible after hearing all your more recent songs!
Your vocals shine like never before in this 8 years old song.
And Floyd on the lead... I never expected to hear that. He, the guitar guy singing about all the lost lovers.
Marvelous, Floyd! Even Dave was flabbergasted!!!
So you may have guessed that I love the song, that's what I do,
Hans Thank you Hans for all you said and Janice was smiling while she read it. It's all appreciated and very generous of you! J&B

Hey team! Sorry I am late for the show, lots of happenings. Glad caught this gem on time. Amazing creative drive! FANTASTIC vocals + Sticky Fingers solo, a rare event that should definitely be repeated. Super mix. 100+ tunes... Wow(!) Enjoyed it and thank you for sharing, Misha. P.S. "we know the tune does not resolve...." Don't know what you talking about, everything "resolved" just fine in my mind

I'm glad you brought this back.
All I can say is Wow, wow, wow. What a combo---the vocal and guitar are a match made in heaven. Soulful and sorrowful.

Nice blues. Such a good job on this.
I wasn't aware that Floyd was a lead guitar picker.... learn something new everyday I reckon.
Edit: I came back to listen again with the good buds. This edit is going to focus on the guitar. To start, the guitar is not loud enough in the entire song. The tone and treatment on it seems to put it in a different place from the rest of the band. Everything else is tight but the guitar is squishy, if that makes sense. Much of that can be attributed to the slow bending. It doesn't sound like it is cohesive. In a number of places, it was interfering with the vocals and was distracting from Janice's voice. Personally, if I was going to play that guitar part, I would back off the reverb and distortion. Clean it up and give it a bit more crunch. Make the fills a bit more concise and avoid the continuous bends. The vocals can bend and slur, but use caution when attempting that on the guitar. It's a delicate balance.
Glad you like it. Well sort of . Other than different drums and new fx it’s the same version from 2015. J&B

I could listen to Janice singing the phone book (remember those?) but I do love it when she gets the blues. And great to hear sticky fingers chiming in. The mix sounds fine to me (but maybe I have a bit of Janice bias too).
Regards,
Leon Thank you Leon! Janice was singing the phone book the other day. She’s now at the X’s so it’s a bit weird J&B

Strange, but I seem to have a new method of listening on the forum. This is the 3rd song recently that I listened to, commented on, but then went back to listen again without pushing Submit. (or is there a conspiracy to remove my comments?) Since I love listening to this and all your songs, I have no problem listening gain and again. And telling you once again that this song is so incredibly blue. Floyd sounds so perfectly blue --almost crying on that guitar. Janice, dang girl, you can sing anything, and sing it so amazingly blue. This song has a ton of feeling --a metric ton. That's heavy. Thank you Mart for the generous review. And YES for us irrespective of genre feeling and soul is always the objective! Thanks again, J&B

I'm late to the party but super glad that I got to hear this one.
I love the blues and this is better than a lot of the blues available from Alligator Records.
As usual everything is professional.
Loved it. It’s always good to hear nice words from a blues lover! J&B

Janice & Bud, floyd,
Very nice minor blues!
The guitar this time is floyd, not Peter.
Very moody.
Janice shines as usual.
Enjoyed my listen a lot.
Best regards.
Shigeki Adachi Thank you Shigeki! J&B

B,J&f, Great job everyone . I would call this Southern Gothic Blues
"Five generations have left nothing to call my own
Blood feuds and murder, nothing to call my own
Less I count seven sunken graves with one field stone"
Now that's the real deal! Authentic as can be. What a vocal performance and floyd compliments perfectly without gettin in the way. Clean, crisp open mix and those drums are given it the oomph!
Folks it don't get much better than this! Tom “ Southern Gothic Blues” Love that description Tom! We appreciate the positive and supportive review. And having a lyricist like you quote ours is very special indeed. Thank you! J&B

Can anyone sing this good? Janice's voice moves smoothly like a flowing river, simply perfect for a moaning blues song which has really dark tone in the story even for a blues song. The band and the mix are excellent, Floyd's guitar is crying just like it should do. At 2:36, there is a sound that bit disturbs me, I know it is from the guitar, but between words it creates another kind of association with the title - sorry, I couldn't resist my dirty mind Janne Thank you Janne for those nice comments. Now a 2:36? You naughty boy! J&B J&B (and Floyd):
Excellent, excellent . . . excellent. This is as professional as a mix can get. The vocal is exceptional—I mean, it’s always that way, but it just really, really pops on this recording . . Way to go, Janice!! And that lead guitar by Floyd is just steaming hot. And a first class write as well: “The heat’s been pressin’ me down like God’s own hand”. Wow, that’s killer stuff . . . as is the rest of the write . . . as is the whole thing. Beyond impressive!
My best to you all,
Deej We appreciate every word of that … big time. Thank you! J&B

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."
