The Magic Touch A blues collaboration with Bud & Janice. Leon re-wrote the lyric with Janice in mind to a song we had stashed in the archives. Janice kindly sang (wonderfully) and transformed the song. I played the acoustic and slide guitar. Thanks to Bud for support and recording Janice. The rest of the band:RealTracks in song: ~539:Bass, Electric, Pop Sw 120 RealTracks in style: ~1854:Piano, Acoustic, Rhythm CountryBoogie Sw 110 RealTracks in song: ~425:Organ, B3, Background Blues Sw 120 RealDrums in style: JazzBrushes: a: Brushes Swirling b: Brushes Busier
The Magic TouchHoney I know I think too much I’m aware of that It’s true I get emotional My moods can fade to black But whenever I lay eyes on you I just have to smile You make me think that life is good And living it worthwhile You amuse me
You enthuse me
With a feeling that my life
May be worth living after allI knew when I laid eyes on you You were the real McCoy I hope you can believe me When I say that you’re my joy Cause honey I wouldn’t lie to you At least ways not too much You’re the reason I’m going on You’ve got that magic touch You amuse me
You enthuse me
With a feeling that my life
May be worth living after allHoney I know you like to think You’re a man of gravitas And shows of strong emotion You regard as hazardous But whenever I lay eyes on you I just have to smile You make me think that life is good And living it worthwhile You amuse me
You enthuse me
With a feeling that my life
May be worth living after all

Janice / Bud / Peter,
Another great collaboration! Love the song - Janice really drives it home with her "slow-burn" vocal... Just great stuff. Stellar mix as well.
Also, love the slide solo - sounded like you had Jack White at the session to play for you - really excellent!

Yeah! I new I was going to like this even before I pressed play.
Great stuff, I could listen to music like this all day.
Good write, lyrics are a cut above what you hear in a typical blues song. Killer job on the slide guitar, and Janice is doing her usual cool thing.
Nice collab, enjoyed the listen!

Peter, Janice & Bud,
You've delivered another great collaboration.
This is a great laid-back country-blues
"You amuse me"
"You enthuse me"
Marvelous lines, and then followed by a strong lead break.
Thoroughly enjoyable, great work, team.

Peter, Leon,Janice and Bud, This is another fine collab. Well written, sung, played, and produced. A nice smooth country blues that sits well on the ear and doesn't have any missteps. I liked it a lot! Tom

What a tune, you guys! Great job, all of you  As always, Janice's vocals on this are absolutely superb. I really like the lyrics on this as well, it adds a really unique dynamic to it. And that solo that kicks in just before the 2 minute mark is incredible! A great song from front to back - thanks so much for sharing
Cheers,
Deryk

Peter, Leon, Janice, (Bud)...
A strong write - especially for a "blues" number...
Nice arrangement. The acoustic work is really nice! - very well recorded. (Slide is nice, too). A nice "crispness" to everything...
That girl can sing anything, it seems. And gets better with every single recording (How can that be????)
A terrific listen.

Dear Bud, PeterF, & Ms. Janice...
"PeterF": "The Magic Touch" has a nice n' easy, laid-back kind'a rhythm that inspired this listener to join in with some impromptu whistling! The feel of the song is just that inviting as it conjures up a lazy, timeless mood that is evocative of a small town at the height of a hot afternoon, where a lady might sit in the shade of her front porch and daydream about her man...
Ms. Janice, your storytelling voice fills up even the spaces where you don’t sing, 'cause it makes us want to follow it wherever it goes.
"Bud": Being behind the scenes recording the song actually only proves that what you can't see has everything to do with what you hear! Your "invisible" presence at the controls is as strongly felt as the quiet moment when a birthday boy or girl makes a silent wish before blowing out the candles on the cake.
What is the instrument that comes in wailing at around 1:50? Sounded simultaneously like a bass harmonica and an overdriven gee-tar! Regardless, for me its effect was to express the deeper, gutsier feeling under the politely passionate lyrics.
All in all, a "stop the world, I wanna get off" kind'a tune.
LOREN
P.S. Where in the forums do BIAB users congregate to collaborate? I posted the question elsewhere but haven't received a response yet. Thanks!
