Hello guys,

This is another very fine collab!
Beautiful classic country stuff.
The pedal steel guitar sounds very professional.
and then: Janice's voice.... always beautiful, but this is the best I heard from her so far!

Regards,
Rob

Nice.

"The time has come for me to find
a way to live and not cry
You’re no longer mine Guess it’s a sign
I need to find a way to say goodbye"

Very nice.

The melody at "not cry" is exceptional.

Everything about this captures that "Patsy thing" perfectly. The arrangement is dead-on. The mix is, of course, perfect.

No one better to sing this type of song! Janice, you nailed this. (But... we all KNEW you would!!!)

Tom the steel sounds great to me. (Cannot imagine how hard that must be to do...)

A great listen....

floyd



floyd, thank you very much for your kind remark about my vocal. From a singer like you that means so much.

Janet's sultry singing style shines on this....in classic Patsy Cline fashion.

As a guitarist, the only thing I felt this was lacking was a nice hot picker to throw in some real fills and half of the solo...... That would have balanced it a bit and not made it so much of a "steel" song. I love using production chops that alternate two lead instruments ... often one per verse on the fills.

Either way, this is a great song.... well done.


Thanks a bunch Herb! Tom gave me a great write to work with.

Hi Tom and Janice ...

Sounds like 1963 all over again! I was a sophomore in high school then ... yikes, I'm freaking old! Janice's voice reminds me a lot of Patsy Cline when she sings country. On this particular song, there's a lot of patsy in her voice, but I also hear touches of Jean Sheppard (a lot less nasal than Jean, though).

Great lyric! Floyd already pointed out the best lines ... couldn't agree with him more! The pedal steel was real nice and the production was spot on! great song and delivery in all respects. loved it!

A stunning production, I love the mix and the song. Radio ready.

Janice, the emotion and dynamics in your vocal, bending those notes, captivating, smooth, wow!

Tom, you too, wow! The RT's are just right and that steel puts this in the big leagues.

Bravo!!

Scott , It's great that you're back. Thanks for the nice things you've said about this song. Bud and Janice are incredibly easy to work with. Tom

Rob, thanks for listening and commenting. Obviously we were going for the Patsy vibe and we didn't want to stray too far from that. Thanks again, Tom

Hi Tom & Janice, great job on this song, the melody is beautiful, and stunningly sung by the warm voice of Janice. I love the slide guitar, that sound so melancholy and sweet, it is a pleasure to hear you, you play very well. And the mix sounds very good.

When I heard the song come to my mind the idea that I would like to hear it without drums, or rhythm very minimalistic, ... just an idea ;-)
Gracias for your music.
