Peter and Janice,

Very cool cover of classic blues tune. That bluesy trumpet is sweet. And of course Janice’s great vocals really make the tune shine. Outstanding!

My best to you both,

Deej

I knew the vocal would be good when I saw the featured singer. Janice, I love the slides into those notes!

Yeah, the trumpet is cool. The guitar is the right touch. That is one of my favorite solos I've heard.

Everything nicely placed and balanced in the mix.

Boy did you hit it out of the park on this. Love the trumpet on the intro. Just watched the Ma Rainey movie with Viola Davis. This song reminded me of the movie. Super vocal Janice. Peters guitar was perfect as well. Really loved the mix. Something a little different from some of your other songs. Maybe a little less reverb. Not sure. But did it very give the song a cool feel. Well done...

And Janices' singing is so well suited for the Blues. But I told her before, she falls for the wrong guys... (except Bud).

I enjoyed everything of it, like all the others here.
So enjoy all the compliments. You earned them!

Just think 80-90 years from now people will be saying Janice ruled the blues back in 2020's.

Nice job everyone!
