Hey you guys sound great on this one. Very sultry.
I like the line:
"I'd rather be lucky than good."
Pretty funny!
Enjoyed this one a bunch. Great guitar.

Love it!
I heard this a while back over on Janice and Buds page.
This is blues the way blues *should* be IMHO. Cool lyrics all over the place, "Cross your fingers knock on wood, I’d rather be lucky than good" for example.
Janice is just over the top good on this one, vocal is perfect, and man, that phrasing!
And the guitar is so tasteful! Great tone too. Love the trade offs with the harp.
Great intro and super cool ending too!
Nice one guys and gal! Dave, glad you liked it. Thanks for great comments,Tom O.M.G.
Over-the-top good. Music truly does not get better than this.
Everything about this is PERFECT. Little reason to parse out anything else. But... why not.
Janice - The. Best. Vocal. Ever. This leaves no question - You should be a STAR.
Tom - your guitar in this is hang-on-every-note worthy. Your Chicago is showing. Sweet.
The mix is I M P E C C A B L E. And just to be clear, here are listed synonyms for IMPECCABLE: flawless, faultless, unblemished, spotless, immaculate, pristine, stainless, perfect, exemplary; squeaky clean
WOW.
Just.... WOW.

Thanks! That is a knockout review. I sure do appreciate your strong support, Tom

Tom, Janice & Bud,
Great Jazz Blues!
Great collaboration!
You have a wonderful common language called "Blues" and I am truly envious from my perspective.
Janice's vocal is wonderful ever on this tune.
The true blues feel is overwhelmed from the whole voice and it is a masterpiece.
Tom's guitar work is fantastic and outstanding.
The mix is also exceptional.
I’m not a blues man as same as Robert, but I enjoyed this very much!
Best regards.

Wow, this song sounds so fantastic! Janice really sounds like one of those wonderful, classy club singers. I could see her singing for Post Modern Jukebox.
I especially love "you can’t always leave with who brought you to the dance". I think it's a really cool line.
Really great job guys! Ember, No doubt Janice nailed it. Thanks for mentioning the lyrics, Tom Tom,J&B,
After the neat drumroll intro what struck me was the clever, well written lyric(so many cool twists on common phrases).
I agree with the plaudits coming in for Janice`s vocal- this is one of your finest!
Nice biting guitar lead, Tom, and a great mix.
I`m not a blues man, but I enjoyed this very much!
Robert Robert, I agree this is one of Janice's best melodies and performances. Thanks for recognizing the lyrics in your fine review. We appreciate it, Tom

I love the blues and this is blues at its best!
If you would put out a CD of blues like this I would be the first to buy it!
This puts some of the new so-called blues artists to shame.
This is definitely a keeper.
PS- you all are not lucky you are absolutely good great!

Hey good work, sure it's a blues tune but what sets it apart are first class vocals and clever lyrics. Nice mixtoo.
WSS Thanks for mentioning the vocals Steve. We appreciate you listening. Janice There you go....raising the bar again. All of you.....
Nice work.
Really "pro" in every sense of the word. As a guitarist. I really appreciated the tasty, pure tone, on the solo and the fills here and there and in the background.
Thank you Herb. I was delighted to be part of this. Janice

Herb, I was trying to show a little restraint with the guitar in this one. It would have been too easy to just let it rip. Thanks for mentioning the clean tone, Tom

Rob, glad you liked it. Your mixes lately with Studio one have sounded great, Tom "take that last nickel
Turn it to a dime
Cross your fingers knock on wood
I’d rather be lucky than good"
Tom/J&B, it doesn't get any better than that!! This song is pure greatness as far as I'm concerned! Janice has given some great vocal performances here on the forum, but to me this one sounds the best! The production could not possibly be any better! You guys have set the bar very high for all of us! Oh and by the way, the guitar was fantastic! A very fine offering! Thanks, Torrey
Torrey, your review is everything we could have hoped for. Thank you very much for your generous words, Tom

That is a GREAT line, one of those little nuggets that I wish I had written myself! Jim. That line happened when I was thanking someone for commenting on one of my songs. As soon as I wrote it, I added it to my long list of song ideas. Thanks for stopping by, Tom Tom & Janice,
Damn fine blues - everything about it is superb (need some new superlatives).
Wonderful blues playing beautiful singing and a a great memorable write.
So - consummate, outstanding, stellar, peerless (online thesaurus) work.
Peter
p.s that drum intro sounds excellent Peter, I like that word memorable. That's what we're shooting for. Thanks, Tom

This has the sound of a time-worn classic, with a killer title.
I'm not sure there are any adjectives left at this point. Great stuff! Thanks David. Glad you liked it, Tom Tom / Janice,
This is truly outstanding in every way. I love how Tom's guitar sounds like it's about to go off the rails and Janice's vocal pulls it back in.
Tremendous sound guys...
Bob Bob, you picked up on how I was really trying to hold back a bit and keep it restrained. The star here is Janice and I wanted to compliment and let here shine. Thanks, Tom

Wow - just wow. As people have pointed out, this is absolutely outstanding. This track has everything! I love the smooth groove throughout it. I love Janice smoky vocals. I love the lyrics. This had my attention from the first second to the very last. You nailed it. Not a thing I'd change here - thanks so much for sharing Deryk, thanks man. We appreciate your fine review, Tom
