Man! I could listen to that opening over and over and over!
In fact, I did. Heaven.
I cannot imagine a better treatment for this song. Nice work, Bud - truly. You need to get a YouTube video out there, so that when people search for this song by others, they find yours, too. It ought to become the standard for "how to do this one".
floyd what floyd said! (He has this magical way with words... much like the magical way Janice has with singing them)

Hi Janice & Bud,
great band and great singer!
An excellent production.
Very enjoyable listen.
Guenter
That just about sums it up for me too. I remember hearing Josh White sing this way way back and it kind of got me interested in the blues. You two are amazing.
Chris

Hi Janice and Bud, Janice, your vocal-only introduction is brilliant. There's nothing quite like launching straight into vocals to grab attention. VERY impressive. Bud, the mix is magnificent, perfect. I can't imagine any better framework than the instruments you used. You really know how to get the best out of Realtracks. In a phrase... exceptional in every way! All the best, Noel Noel, you are too kind my friend. We are really happy that you liked the a cappella intro. We thought it worked out but it is great to hear that you agree. Thank you for mentioning the mix also. I've learned to accept that the minimalist mix with fewer tracks works best for me. I would love to get that lush sound you and a few others do but it just seems to defy me. Too many years with a four piece bluegrass band I guess! Thanks again. Bud

Fantastic arrangement. Really liked the acapella intro, and the way the band came in so cleanly.
Really great work!

J&B, Killer vocal. That a cappella opening with the precision band entrance is just stunning. The arrangement is perfect and the mix is very clear with everything where it should be. Great job on the piano comps. No missteps here and I have come to expect nothing less. Congrats on another beautifully executed piece of art! Tom

I'm so glad to hear someone putting some of those New Orleans Shuffle instruments to good use, I've tried with no success yet.
I haven't heard this one before, that I remember. It sure sounds good here. Enjoyed!
Kenny

The acapella intro really highlights the quality of Janice's voice!
... clear as a mountain stream's water
... sweet as a clover field's honey
... pitch perfect as um.. as perfect as Janice's voice! (that's the best example I can come up with for perfection!)
Apologies if all my comments sound the same for your songs, but I have a limited vocabulary in terms of superlatives. I use my whole stash on every song!
Bud, I hope you already know how highly I esteem the many talents you bring to all of your projects! Your skill in mixing, RT choices, song research, lyric writing etc etc have been proven over and over again!
Congratulations to both of you on yet another piece of well-produced ear candy! Pat, Bud here, I can't begin to tell you what a smile you put on Janice's face with those comments. When I suggested a slow a cappella kickoff I could tell that she was a bit apprehensive about it but she nailed it in a couple of takes. It means a lot for you to say that. And I myself genuinely appreciate your remarks about my part in these productions. I'm a work in progress and your support helps a lot. Thank you, Bud Welcome to N'awlins! Janice your voice really rocks this style and Bud another great production.
A wonderful listen on a September afternoon! Thanks mr gruve. N'awlins, indeed! We appreciate the comments very much.

You guys must have a factory. You just keep knocking these great song out.
Excellent of course.
Rob That's mighty nice of you Rob! No factory here...just one mic, some great music friends, Biab and an iMac  Thanks! J&B Man! I could listen to that opening over and over and over!
In fact, I did. Heaven.
I cannot imagine a better treatment for this song. Nice work, Bud - truly. You need to get a YouTube video out there, so that when people search for this song by others, they find yours, too. It ought to become the standard for "how to do this one".
floyd Thank you so much floyd. I'll definitely think about a video. And thanks for Janice's big smile while reading this! Bud

Glad you had a reference song for it. It's amazing how many versions are out there. We tried to take it in a little bit of a different direction. Don't know the song, but you guys have done a wonderful job with it!! Awesome vocal and perfect complimentary arrangement. Everything works perfectly. A real treat!! Take care. Greg Thanks you Greg. Cool that it all worked for you! J&B www.janiceandbud.com

We really do appreciate that and especially come from the mix master! Glad that you liked the opening. The song has been done so many times that we really wanted something a bit different. The band entrance was a little tedious in getting everybody to step on it at the right time...glad you noticed and liked it! Thanks again, J&B

Nice work. Love the groove on this.
You can find my music at: www.herbhartley.comAdd nothing that adds nothing to the music. You can make excuses or you can make progress but not both. The magic you are looking for is in the work you are avoiding.
