Hey team,
I believe you accomplished much more than a gritty feel "in style of". Sounds original and raw. Very cool lyrics and phrasing doubled with powerful vocals by Janice and Peter's hot guitar, makes this a winner. Bud, excellent "live" mix. Sounds very good in the car and on studio headphones. Enjoyed it and thank you for sharing.

Misha.

All my best to you,

Deej


That’s much appreciated! And yes Peter did the grit thing well smile

Thanks!

Good write.

Great BAND sound! Gritty. No doubt.

Peter sits with that BAND perfectly.

I believe everything that girl says (sings)!

Those drums sounds great! Bass is PUNCHY! GREAT mix.

Truly Infectious.

LOVE the album cover!!!

Sincerely,
Been There Done That.


Thank you mr jane.

You mentioned EVERYTHING we could have hoped to achieve. And Bud much appreciates the bass, drums and photo comments.

Your review has made an enjoyable project even more fun!

Thanks, Torrey


That’s much appreciated Torrey by all of us!

Hi Bud and Janice,

I wrote I liked your song a lot, but noticed you don't want to write to me. I was your 'John'!
What happened...?

I was also very pleased (a lot) by the work of Peter and Bud.

Peter must know he's good on the guitar, everyone tells him all the time. And he is!

And Bud, you are a very creative man. Has anyone told you that before?
I'm also glad you use Logic x too.

Have a nice day,
Hans

Just read your comment and ... you are right! I wrote a long response to your review and I obviously failed to hit the enter key -- another old man moment smile So thank you for your nice comments and yep Logic is great. AND, here's a photo of the notepad I keep by the Mac which I mark off each response that we make (one of the few non digital things I do smile regarding the net). As you can see I thought I had responded to you after Scott! So, many apologies John.

Hi Bud,

This is such a relief for me ;-)
I'm sure now I will sleep much better than yesterday (except for the cat)
However, on second thought, the photo shows you actually did skip me...

But your photo showed me you work very much the same as I do. Write down who posted me and mark them off after my reply.

Thank you for your prompt response,
Hans

But all the elements you mentioned - basic chord progressions, repetitive chorus, gritty feel, big drum sound - are there in spades.

Nice crunchy mix, too.

But as derivative as it might try to be, it's got Janice's vocals, which puts it in a class of its own.


Thank you. Glad you noted all those elements ... we did try! smile

Another masterpiece from the three amazing musicians.

I like the style/sound you created.

Superb guitar, Peter!


Good that she doesn’t complain. smile smile

We’re all glad you liked it!

I don't know much Lucinda Williams, although I've seen the name around a lot over the years, but this is very cool!!! Love that big snare sound!! I'm sure, as good as Lucinda might be, Janice can hang with her!!! Nice job by all!!! Take care. Greg

P.S. I think that is a Carole King album title? LOVE Carole!!
