Smooth. Well done, everyone involved.

The electric piano was a standout here.

Nice visual. I like the way it was immediately linked into the narrative.

Vocal control, you say. Never heard of it. Is that some kind of ProTools thing?

Floyd/J&B, this another wonderful song from you! Deeply tugs at the heart and emotions. The writing on this just can't get any better! The acoustic solo guitar puts this over the top! Thanks, Torrey

This is no exception. The recording skill, the mix, the balance, the vocals all are an endless testament to consistent skill, precision, and quality from this team. Yes, this is no exception.

Yes! You had me right from that opening with the Steel, what a great sound!

Your vocals always sound good, but over the last couple of songs have been just over the top good, just perfect to these ears.

Love it when Janice comes in, you two always sounds great together.

Excellent writing, I especially like the chorus.

Arrangement and mix are top notch as usual.

Really enjoyed this one!

Hello Bud, Floyd and Janice.

David C. already quoted my favorite lyrical couplet. But I'll be redundant:

a half finished book next to a fifth of gin
a sad story or drink won't erase that last goodbye

Such excellent lyrical artistry is not all that common ... but it's so evident throughout this song. And, as ever, the vocal, arrangement and presentation is exactly where it should be. Don't know what else to say. it's good! Best to all of you ...

Super backing, super vocals, seamless harmony from Janice and an excellent mix.

Nice solo, if brief...

Enjoyed the whole thing.

Cool stuff there. Great job writing as usual.

Nice mello feel. The groove has a feeling of the kind of resignation in the character's words in the song. well done.

This song could be used to advertise the high level that can be achieved when BIAB is in the hands of skilful people. Well done Floyd, Bud & Janice !


Andy - thanks for stopping by - and for the very fine review.

This does not seem to me like a song that ought to have an extended solo. The little bit of soloing back-and-forth between the piano and nylon guitar seemed more appropriate (I think).

Thanks, again...

PERFECTION???? MAYBE!!!! WOOOOOW!!!! I love EVERYTHING (I'm talking EVERYTHING, that's EVERYTHING) about this!!!! The band could not be better if the players were picked for this song specifically! Love the space in the arrangement, and the beautiful vocals (singing incredible lyrics) that fill it. There's a word that is overused, so I make a point of not using it, but I'm gonna now: BRILLIANT!!! Great job all!!! Take care. Greg

Hi Floyd
Very nice song. Hard to go wrong with this cast. While I hesitate to venture even a hint of criticism, I would have liked Janice to come in a little earlier (just cause I love hearing her sing).
Regards,
Leon
