I really like that title. It's one of those titles that makes you stop and want to listen to see what that song is all about.

What can I say, Janice's singing and Peter's playing is once again primo.

The instrumentation seems to be a slightly different direction than your usual, which sounds good: I just thought it was a change.

Masterful mix.

Peter's playing is right in the pocket of course, as per usual.

Great mix, Bud, also as per usual!

Lovely stuff, well done guys and gal!


Thanks Dave. It’s cool that you mentioned Imelda May as we are fans. Love that show she did with Jeff Beck. Thanks for all!

Its interesting to read all the different genre places this sends listeners... and it seems you had a few choices style wise to pick from ( with a gypsy fiddle,like Tunemonger, I could have heard Dan hicks in this).
I like the choices you made and Peter`s fine contribution.

Robert


Thanks Robert. We were indeed all over the map initially deciding where this would land genre wise. We're glad you liked it and Janice is most appreciative of your comments about her vocal. That "right across the room" vibe is what we strive for!

Janice is, well, Janice. 'Nuff said. The production is crisp and clear as a bell. Nothing more to say - another top level production! When are you guys coming down from that top level you keep maintaining? haha. Doesn't look like any time soon, at this rate - thank goodness. Sincerest, most genuine congratulations!

No surprise this getting so much attention smile

J&B + Peter,
Very good in all respects. Your creative drive is amazing. I just do not understand how it is possible to come up with such quality in such a short period of time, without cutting any corners. Enjoyed it very much. Thank you for sharing.

Misha.

P.S. If it is not a secret...How long did it take team to do this from start to finish? Was it a simpler tune that was done some time ago and you expanded on idea, or you started from scratch?

Thanks for those thoughts. It was a bit different with the bass in particular. BiaB and Peter give us a lot of options! We appreciate your comments on the mix also. Glad the title got your attention!

PB&J, The decision to use the Acoustic Bass and guitar was a wise one. It gives it a timeless feel. Another great lead vocal and the harmonies bring it up a notch. A great title with some fine lines in a perfect write for the genre. Peter's fine guitar lines spice up the production. Mix is spot on. Another good one in a long line of collabs. My best to all three of you, Tom

Thank you Misha. We always appreciate your support. For most of our productions the work flow is: Bud - lyric - rough progression > Janice - refined progression on her guitar > Biab for Band & arrangement > All tracks to Logic Pro > Rough mix to Peter for input > Janice - vocals > rough mix to Peter > Peter- guitar tracks > Bud/Janice/Peter - mix ideas > Bud - mix and mastering.

Janice is a one take vocalist almost always. When she’s ready she’s ready. Peter sends me a boatload of tracks in very shorts order. And I settle in to the final mix. It’s hard to say how much time. Janice and I spend much, much more time hiking, mountain biking and trail building. We work the music thing in amongst them. We are retired so that helps. Really hard to put a time on it. It’s more like an hour here and there. We don’t obsess over it. I appreciate your interest and wish I could be more specific.
