This has great energy. As always, the vox are sooo very good. Guitar excellent as well. Loved listening to it.

Janice, Bud & Peter,
Good to hear Peter letting rip and Janice having fun ( those bgv`s are so cool!).
The piano track is a gem and all production items checked in the "pro-level" box.
The song theme sounds familiar : "Hometown Refugee" being one of my favourites of yours, its interesting to find the feelings writers draw on being cyclical.

Great groove, you can always trust on good old Texas blues. Some nice momentary steps out of the traditional blues formula with the chords that are highlighted by the background vocals, enjoyable surprise. Great arrangement and mix, Peter's guitar playing and of course Janice's vocals really make this fly through the roof.

Janice and Peter both flying in this one - guitar and voice full of emotion

Great mix, Bud, as I've come to expect from you. (No pressure there then for next time.)

A fabulous track which made me smile.

ROG.


Thanks a lot Rog.

Fun lyric and rollickin' blues. Guitar is in the pocket. It all sounds good (especially Janice) and makes me smile. But I gotta tell you--them harmonies is nuts. Fun.

All the usual accolades apply.

Stellar vocals. Love those BGVs.
Cool/hot guitar throughout.
Superb mix.

Everyone needs a "hometown" write. And this is a good one.

Good to the last drop (note). What a cool ending!!

Thanks. This is an old write. One of our first blues efforts and at a time when we were thinking a lot about moving out west. Glad you liked the BGV’s too!

Hi J&B and Peter
Loved this. Those backing vocals are so creative (and the lead vocal is of course superb, as per usual). Peter is in his comfort zone and right on the money. Great mix as always.
Regards,
Leon

Hi Janice, Bud and Peter,

So this is what happens when you stay inside too long! You make funny songs with silly lyrics (your own words).
For me that was great fun listening to! The guitarsolo was great, the vocals -of course- too, and at the end of the song it felt as if the piano went sky high!
I liked that repeating of words in the song too. Gave me a broad smile. The disadvantage of this is that it stays in my head now.
Now my wife gets crazy from me repeating every last word 5 times...

Cheers,
Hans

Thanks Greg. Glad you liked it! During those BGV lines there is either a C7b9 or a A7b9 chord both of which have C# as a chord or root note-- Since she goes to a C# all I (Bud) can
figure is that as she said "I was just following the piano!" smile You have a fine ear.
We appreciate your remarks.

Wow, Bags of Real Quality Blues right from the first note.

Peter sets that axe on fire, Janice does the usual superb job in front of the mic, Bud stuck the lot together with nothing wanting, not even missing the photo!

Great party, everyone.

Hats off as usual. Janice sings the lights out of this song, as per usual, Peter's so crisp on the guitar (again, as usual) and the production is laser-sharp - yes, as usual. That's it! go and listen to it, folks! :-) BRAVI!!!

Thanks Misha. We all appreciate your thoughtful remarks. It was a fun project! However, production wise it was not exactly in my wheelhouse.

All the accolades afforded you three are highly deserved. Nothing comes out of Georgia Homestead Studios unless it is first rate. The production just doesn’t get much better. And that sanger. Man oh man! Couple that with a first rate write and some red hot guitar lines and it all ends up as a winning combination. Even those not steeped in the blues as we are can find something to like here. Every piece just seems so natural and completely unforced. Top of the class, Tom
