Hi there again, J&B + Peter.

You can't beat a good twelve-bar and this one really takes some beating!
A fabulous groove right from the off and a perfect vehicle for both Janice
and Peter to shine through.

A brilliant performance from Janice, even by her usual high standard and probably
the best guitar I've ever heard Peter play.

Can't fault the mix - totally pro throughout.

Loved it.

ROG.

Mix sounds great though both the 'phones and the KRK's.

Love the fake ending!

Nice one you three, enjoyed.


Thanks Dave and we appreciate you mentioning the fake ending. Janice and I were watching an episode of Live at Daryl's where a band used something like that so we decided to try it. Peter very much helped embellish it!

Sweet!!!!!!!

This is four minutes and eight seconds of BLISS!
Janice's vocals, Bud's production, the PG Music band and Peter's tasty guitar work are top-shelf.
Thanks guys,
Mike

Wow! THAT note on the second "rock and roll" ... WOW!!! And the ACCENT on the first "rock" :-)

What singing. Janice excels here, she really does. The colour in her voice ... the accents (another one on the word "awful" !!!). The band, too, is absolutely tight rhythmically ... a joy to listen to. Hats off, everyone involved.

Wish I was a fly on the wall when these things get produced ... I always used to dream, when younger, of being "part of the band" or something when top artists recorded (I'd be the conductor, haha!) - and THIS makes me wish I could have been part of it, somehow. Again, hats off to the ground.

J&B and Peter; I'm not known for big words and eloquence, so I'm just going to say...what a job! Nothing less than a masterpiece to be expected from you guys.

Janice & Bud,

Really soulful blues accentuated by a great vocal. Love the subdued backing on this song, letting Janice’s vocal really shine. Just the right measured touch on the lead guitar. Terrific tune . . . real smooth, real professional. Outstanding!

All my best,

Deej

P,B &J, this is a fine example of a modern take on roots influences. The vocal and the guitar are perfectly executed. The mix is clear crisp and separated. The write is in the pocket without getting in the way of itself. I seriously cannot think of one thing that would make this better. As good as it gets, Tom

Hi Janice and Bud,

Well... I can't beat the others with all their nice compliments. I can only admit you fully earned them!
You made a wonderful 'simple' song with such interesting lyrics (and the way you put them together in this song).

I had to smile when reading these lines:
"Well Mister Satan he got real mad
That ole devil got awful mad
Missed those souls he thought he had..."

I only want to lift out one thing; the vocals. Janice, you sang wonderful!

Stay safe,
Hans

Excellent rendition of spirituals. I guess some of the best blues is derived from spirituals. It feels as you put a lot in this one! Solid teamwork. Janice is A+!

P.S. “...home in that rock” may reference “honey in the rock” - interesting.

Thank you for sharing!
Misha.
