It reminded me of an NPR broadcast I heard the other week about the return of black lung disease to coal miners. And that's only the first verse!

The writing was excellent, and the mix clear as always. But what really struck me was Janice's excellent singing - in particular, her emoting. Nice subtle harmonies.

The modulations felt abrupt, but they worked as intended to bring some change to the song, so... Can't really complain there, can I?

As always, a treat to hear.



David, Thanks for that link! Yep, those modulations were intended as a "wake up" from the somewhat gentle flow of the tune. Janice really appreciated your remarks about her vocal. I (Bud) have often compared her to a method actor. She will do what floyd calls "living with a song" until she's ready to sing it and then it's almost always one take. She feels that additional takes would loose something each time. Dunno. But it seems to work for her smile

We appreciate your reviews and support over the past year and best to you this year!
