I've never heard of Lucinda Williams so I can't compare, but I know that this is a good song, great arrangement, cool guitar playing and of course those vocal harmonies. Love it. A lot  Thank you! We appreciate the mention of the harmony, the guitar and the arrangement. BTW A good introduction to Lucinda is the song “Protection” from her album “Down Where The Spirit Meets The Bone.” J&B

J&B (and Peter):
Cool tune—your usual strong vocals and production. Love the guitar fills and solos by Peter—give this a slick, gritty sound. As others have noted, the mix is terrific, everything perfectly balanced. Impressive outing!
All my best to you,
Deej

J&B&P,
As Kris Kristofferson once said "....You've been reading my mail."
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.

Nice and bit funny look inside a musician's family life, hopefully not too personal Great sounding intro! And sound and playing of Peter's guitar are very enjoyable. Catchy chorus, good one to sing along, Janice's voice flows nicely "rhymes rhymes rhymes" with the rhythm. Good band and great mix, drums sound very live and the bassline is strong. Janne Not at all personal! During our 40 years of marriage we’ve always played in bands together. Thanks for your positive comments. You mentioned everything we strived to achieve. And for that we are most appreciative. J&B

Wow, great job capturing the Lucinda Williams vibe! I would have been daunted by such an undertaking, but you had all the right ingredients to make it happen. Even that minimal use of harmonica is true to the artist. I would venture to say Janice is a much better singer than Lucinda, but Lucinda got dat grit. I feel like electric guitar (Stuart Mathis) is a big part of her sound, but Peter was fully up to the task. A lot of small touches that made this work so well, some I couldn't verbalize but knew they added up to the real deal. Great work, gang! Thanks a ton! Your knowledge of Lucinda makes your comments special. Thanks for noting the minimal harp and Stuart. We’ve enjoyed her since the 90’S and she has been amazingly consistent with excellent bands. Janice was most appreciative of you vocal comment. As she just said blues comes natural but grit is hard! J&B

Thanks for all the comments on my part in this song.
It is always a pleasure working with Janice & Bud.
It's quite a privilege (and great fun) to add some guitar to the inspiring vocals I get presented with.
Looking forward to our next one.
Peter

J&B,
I think you nailed that vibe you were going for in this one! It's certainly got a gritty driving sound! Much of the time a simple and repetitive chord structure is the most effective way to make a song happen! It's sure a great sounding tune and effort by all involved!
Thanks, Torrey

I absolutely love the song idea of rhymes and reasons, and you took it in such a fun direction. What a wonderfully strong song. You know i love Janice's voice and Peter's guitar, and I've learned so much from Bud, and you three just keep getting better. Actually it's more like you've always been really good, and you just keep pumping out more examples of that. Keep pumpin'! You are too kind Marty. You’ve been playing fine blues and rock for a long time so J&B, a couple of ole bluegrassers especially appreciate your comments. Thank you! J&B

J&B and Peter,
I can relate to your intention for this very good song- your LW studies have paid off!
I know you`ve mentioned her style inspiring other songs; follow that vein as long as you like on this evidence.
Original and easily relatable lyrics, the gritty feel others have noted and a memorable chorus melody- all good elements are there, with fantastic vocal and guitar performances.
Robert That is much appreciated Robert. That’s everything that was our wish list for this effort ! J&B

I'm not familiar with Lucinda Williams (although now I have no excuse!).
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.

Just great. I love Janice's vocals. Really nice job mixing them. Ditto to what Floyd and others have said. The chord progressions pulls you in.

You three knocked it out of the park...........again!
I am not familiar with Lucinda Williams' music so I can not compare but this sounded fantastic to these old ears!
Another masterpiece from the three amazing musicians.
The more I get to know people the more I realize why Noah only allowed animals on the ark.

Another good composition and performance. The first two lines "you spend all your time writing song after song/Sittin’ around the house every day pickin’ on your battered Gibso" is something my wife would write.  Although, she really doesn't complain. I like the style/sound you created. Superb guitar, Peter!
