J&B&P&M...

Nice opening! Gets the ear ready for what is to come...

Spine-tinglin' vocals! AND BGVs!! Good as it gets.

The Band has a great groove. Peter's guitar, Marty's bass and the piano and drums...Rock Solid.

Pro-level mix. Perfect.

"TODAY I TOOK OUR PICTURE OFF THE FRIDGE
NOW YOU’RE JUST WATER UNDER THE BRIDGE"

Nice!!!

Y'all are firing on all cylinders.

Cool album cover!!

Thanks Ray. You mentioned everything we’d hope to achieve. It was a fun project and thanks for mentioning the mix.

We all appreciate it!

Hi Janice & bud,

Very nice composition. It's a nice team effort. I love the well-placed second voice of Janice (I remember the vst). It's a beautiful arrangement that I appreciated. Professional work than usual. And "Bravo" to the whole team.

Kindly regard

Anther enjoyable collaboration, folks. Great mix. Goes without saying that Janice's vocal is excellent, but what continues to amaze me is the magic she works with the backing vocals. So good. Also kind of goes without saying that I admire my partner in crime's guitar playing but he certainly adds some fine touches to this one, as does Marty.
Regards,
Leon

Really liking the staggered backing vocals! laugh

Of course, Janice's lead is always the star, along with Peter on the guitar.

You can take all your baggage / and lighten my load

Nice write, too!

It's a bit "busier" than your usual arrangement, but no less enjoyable! smile

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

Nice harmony guitar part from Peter, and I always love hearing him play slide, I'm hopeless at that.

Of course Marty is always on the money, one of the best bass players I've ever worked with, that's for sure. Plus a great guy.

Mix is your usual high standard, Bud, always spot on.

P.S. just read the comments from Nigel. Was he listening to the same song??


Dave, wish you could hear Janice scatting a blues guitar solo! Really.

Yep, we much liked what Peter played and it was very cool to work with Marty. Great bass players add so much to a tune - little subtleties that accent vocals and solos. And we have and continue to enjoy his photo books.

Thanks for mentioning the mix. I was challenged by all the drum parts but Logic Pro’s Groove Track immediately locks them all dead on to the RD.

Thanks for all!

Awesome instrumental break - so unique and a great contrast to the song. Excellent arrangement and playing by Peter, Dave & Marty. Also, a very nice touch with the Mick Fleetwood sample.

Janice delivers another outstanding vocal as only she can... Love the phrasing on the word "water" and the overall edge in the performance.

Finally, the mix is big and open - no one rides the board like Bud...

Amazing stuff!

Bob, thanks a LOT for those comments. We appreciate it and even more so given how much we enjoy your productions!

Hi Team,

Fabulous.

Relaxed but powerful.

Professional performances all round.

Clever lyrics.

Janice - you already know the things I usually say!

Great mix - got the sound of a live band and works well up LOUD without breaking up.

Loved it.

ROG.

A Million dollar team effort by a million dollar band and production team. This is about as good as it gets without really having that million dollars to get it there. Powerful production and performance on every level.

Love that slinky feel to this one. Nice undercurrent bass line.

Janice's voice has a slightly different tone in this song...sort of a light sweetness.

Oh god, love that guitar solo. Kudos Peter.

Another good song here. As usual! I didn't really realise that BIAB had such loose sounding drums... it continues to surprise me...

That bouncing piano sounds great - so low its a spine tingler in the background.

Very, very good!



Thanks Robert for all. And extra thanks for mentioning the mix and the piano. It took a little work to get it to cooperate with all the other tracks but afterwards it seemed to do its job well.

Most appreciated!

What a great group effort.

Everything shines, and clearly a lot of talent has been encapsulated in this production.

Great.

Cool vox and harmonies Janice. KUdos to all involved. I don't get to listen as much as I'd like any more - glad I didn't miss this one.

It amazes me how well you do your musical things without multi million dollar studios and army of co-writers and producers. Congrats on this cool song, and thank you for sharing.

Misha.



Wow! Man, your are most generous with those comments and we all greatly appreciate them. It’s been quite the journey from traditional bluegrass to productions likes this. You make us feel it’s all been worthwhile. Thank you!

Thanks for all the comments relating to my part on this song.

It's always a privilege to work with Janice & Bud and in this case Marty who I thank for the "Bach" comment!
