Love it, love it, love it!!!!! The best combo since Waylon and Willie!!! Great to hear the stories of two of our own who have stories worth sharing and really know how to tell them well. And the production feels so live and inspired.....always get that little added touch with some J and B support!! Fantastic guys!!!! Take care. Greg Greg, It was a lot of fun to work with floyd and with his great idea and super melody it was easy for me to do the add ons. Thanks, Tom Hi guys,
a very nice tune. Like always a great composition, well-sung, Floyd. Great harmonies and I love the Tele licks as well as the PSG.
And I'm impressed by the excellent production - Bud, you're always doing a great job!!!
Like it a lot.
Cheers,
Stefan

** A few additions that I'm not able to "edit" my post and ad. I'm a bit more caught up now, and had a few more points that I was thinking about but did not copy and paste. Drummers, I tell ya... First, I've been able to listen to the song a good number of times on various devices and speaker/headphone arrangements. What a killer mix! Everything is where it needs to be. Everything is the level it should be AND it's clean and clear without sounding harsh. There's a guy on this forum who was just talking about how he wishes he could do that. It was me. No joke! Great job. Sorry to say to the two of you; but adding Janice to any song never hurts; and was the case here. She took your "GREAT!" even higher. Then again I'm a sucker for great vocals. There is just a special blend that's going on. I love it. Now finally for my "he's lost it" comment. Something about Floyd and Tom's vocals, at times, have a Big and Rich thing going on. I think it's the contrast in timbre of your voices. I think it's really cool how you two achieve this effortlessly. The bridge really had it for me. Here's an example; but probably not "the best" one. I just can't remember which song it was that would really demonstrate it. Still, you will get the idea. Run Away With You Again such a cool duet performed by the 4 of you.  C - always nice to have someone drop by a 2nd time.  Thanks for mentioning the mix... And yes, we are well aware that adding Janice will ALWAYS sweeten the pot I have to admit that I have never listened to many (or any?) Big & Rich songs - certainly not intently. I was surprised at the "current Country" sound of that. I used to hear Big Kenny every once in a while a writer's night that I played regularly at Douglas Corner Cafe (with a charts band - a very cool thing). I would not have pegged Kenny for a "new Country" guy...

After listening to this a number of times, just wanted to add what a great example this is of collaboration. It is great to hear two great writers with a different type of style and writer's voice work together. This song really makes me appreciate that element....tons of character and style!!! Lovin' it guys!! Take care. Greg And thanks for stopping in again, Greg! The elements that you add to this forum are appreciated as well!!... I'm a little late on the draw, but happy birthday! And great song. Ember - we are glad you came by for a listen...

floyd and Tom, O my! I have my forum preferences set to show 99 posts per page and this is the second last on page 1.... and I haven't yet commented. First off...  This year's birthday creation is just as spectacular as all the previous years. I really loved the 'this has been my life' so far approach to these lyrics. In all honesty, I'm in awe at how much of your respective stories you've managed to pack into 4 minutes and 11 seconds. Moreover, the musical journey was every bit as engaging, and professional, as the autobiographies. As I'm sitting here thinking what to write next, the single thought that keeps on swinging back and forth in my mind is that the two of you are class acts and that all of us here on Users Showcase are very, very fortunate to have you around. I sincerely hope that you both had a terrific birthday! All the best, Noel

I don't know how you guys write so many good songs. Really liked the alternating vocals in the verses and the solid harmony.
And these chorus lines...
'i don't usually tell these stories
i'm not one to live past glories
they stay on the shelf
i keep to myself
i let the rainbow be'
...killer!
Well done.

Super late to this party but the same as HTL, I have reason but it's irrelevant once I get the opportunity to get on the User Showcase, kick back and really enjoy the good music posted here.
What a great song. Excellent write, arrangement, production and performance. You guys have continued a great tradition and as time's gone by, it won't be too much longer before you have enough material for an album. The cohesive mesh between the characters Tom, Floyd, Bud and Janice is awe inspiring to have opportunity to listen to. Each element of each person's contribution shines on it's own, much like a well mixed song that one can pick out the nuances of every instrument. Great job and Happy Birthday to Tom and Floyd.
