A sassy little tune by a sassy 'lil' vocalist. Great groove to the song and it really sets well with with Janice on vocals.
Enjoyed this one.

Well, this didn't get its chance on the charts, but it's Number One with a bullet on Tunemonger's ReTreaded Tracks to Watch! Janice was ace on the vocal and the production is the usual primo job. Great work, enjoyed it a lot!

A lovely rocker if you can say it like that!
I read a post from bass Thumber and i can't agree more with what he wrote: If I had to pick a song, it would be this one (or something like that).
I was expecting to hear your vocals to, Floyd. Say, somewhere in the chorusses or just in between.
But I'm not complaining, because Janices' voice is so nice to listen to. And this song fits her as that 'famous' glove.
Enjoyed it!
Hans

That is a million dollar chorus. Sounds like hit material to me.
Janice's vocal is top-notch professional.
Another one of my top Floyd songs.

Floyd and Janice,
First I had to look up what was meant by "to pitch to the crop of sassy-girl-singers".
Although I know what "sassy singers" are now, Google translate didn't make any sense as far as the Dutch translation was concerned.
So I just paid attention to the song itself.
Great rocksong!!!!
Music that makes you moving and fabulous vocals, especially in the chorus!.
Wonderful job.
Anne-Marie

Yeah, this sure is a sassy little number! Sass and swagger. That is a double double shot of trouble and I like it. So does my best friend Tater. He said good job.

If I hadn’t have read the song description I would have thought this was Patty Loveless singing a number 1 from the 90’s. Killer groove, great choice of real tracks, clean clear mix per usual and a damn good vocal all add up to to another winner in a long list of winners. You and Danny must have had a good run. I remember hearing some others. I’m pretty sure that some of us that have followed you for years are amazed that some of your songs never got cut. Thankfully we didn’t miss out hearing them. The same should be said about Janice. She’s a star! Happy Thanksgiving to you and Deb and to Janice and Bud, Tom Tom, thank you very much from l'il sis! Patty Loveless is one of our favorites so the comparison brought a big ole smile to my face. Also, I couldn't agree with you more about floyd's songs and I was happy to be a part of this fine production of his. Janice

What they said! Excellent vocal, great backing, clean mix. The tracks sound like they were custom recorded for the song. I'm sure you could fit in at least one more guitar track!  One weird thing I noticed after listening - I couldn't remember the title of the song! I guess that fit in so naturally with the lyric that it didn't stick out when I was listening to it. I wonder if that had anything to do with people passing on the song, because it's got sass and attitude and good vibes for miles!

I don't listen to country rock that often, so of course I'm not an expert, but if you had told me, "This is currently #1 on the US Country Charts" (or whatever those charts are called there), I would have said "of course". Excellent arrangement and a mix where all those millions of guitars still have room to shine. Very, very well done. But topped by Janice's vocal performance, not only because of her great voice (even I know she's good by now), but also because of the way she sings, with that slightly ironic tone in her voice. Super  Thank you very much, B.D., on behalf of our friend floyd and myself for that super review. I was happy to be a part of his song and agree with you on his production skills (we have collaborated dozens times over the last decade). Thank you also for noticing my “tongue in cheek” vocal attitude! Janice

Wonderful! A production done with aplomb, expertise and not just a little sense of humour. Love the, as someone has already mentioned, slightly ironic tone in Janice's voice. And, as we all know by now, what a voice. Love it how she goes just underneath the note, at times, to create the perfect sound and the perfect harmonies for this song. The mark of a singing expert, that :-) . The writing is stellar, the arrangement spectacular. What a team. Congratulations, everyone involved! Thank you very much! Floyd asked me to get in my “sassy mood” for this one but I’ll have to confess to getting tickled at myself while practicing. I grew up listening to country singers like George Jones and Loretta Lynn so I tend to “dance around” a lot in my singing and I’m glad it had a positive effect for you. Janice Janice

Floyd, Janice and Bud...ditto to everything that's been said...very clever write and professional sounding production all round...Floyd, you captured the female perspective quite well and Janice you sang it so well...super effort by all!
(BTW Danny's song, 'The Keeper of the Stars' is one of my favorites of all time) Thank you! And yes Keeper of the Stars is a fine song. I sang it years ago at a friend’s wedding. Janice floyd & Janice
Excellent work all round. Great mix, write, production and performance.
How all the guitar parts work together is very impressive.
The vocal is genre perfect and I loved the outro.
Great work.
Peter Thanks music partner! Janice Hi Janice and Floyd
Very cool catchy song
Taking Janice as the singer was a very good idea
Really fun to listen to
Even with guitar solo ;-)))
More of it, Floyd
Really good work
Many greetings
Andi ;-) Super clear sound,positive rollin all the way
Jona Thanks! Janice I agree with everything that has been said!
All I can add is that I am always amazed at your professionalism on each and every song. That goes for all three of you. Thank you! Janice A sassy little tune by a sassy 'lil' vocalist. Great groove to the song and it really sets well with with Janice on vocals.
Enjoyed this one.

Hi Floyd,
Good country rocker - I'm surprised no takers in Nashville - maybe give it another whirl.
Best Regards
Nigel Thanks, Nigel. Things work a lot different these days than they did 25 years ago. The days of "pitching" are pretty much gone. As are most of the writers. And a good deal of the publishers. There is simply no money in writing (as a profession) anymore... Danny went on early.
This does kick along really well - cool song and yes THANKS Janice.
No accounting for an accountant's taste. Thanks, ray. Yes, Danny was too young. (I was there the night he passed. We were to celebrate his birthday with writers-in-the-round of many of his co-writers...)

I listened to a fair bit of country rock music back in the late 90's and this is a good as any of them and better than many. Great mix, lots of instrumentation going on but no mud, I can hear everything clearly. Janice sounds fabulous, no surprise there! Love the little vamp right at the end Good one, enjoyed! Much appreciated, Dave.... Excellent. Yeow, I see Danny died on his 49th birthday. This is a terrific song, Floyd, and you finally pitched it to the right sassy gal. The mix is that high standard you bring to everything you do. Love the lyrics, especially the chorus. I'd also like to add a couple ThankYouThankYou, Janices. Thanks, Marty. As I mentioned earlier, I was there the night Danny passed. We had all gathered to celebrate his birthday at the Writer's Night at the Broken Spoke Cafe (the main every-night writer's night at the time). It was "attached" to the Ramada Inn and Danny had gotten a room for the night so that he did not have to drive (Danny loved his G&T's). He never made it to cafe. A bad night. I lost a good friend.

Rock me baby. Nothing like a good old 1-4-5 rock and roll song.
Nicely done

Well done. Great mix with all those guitar tracks.
A well-written song that could have been a hit if the right person listened.
And Janice continues to amaze me. Loved the layering of vocals on the chorus. Thanks, Fred (I tried to listen to your latest, but it was gone...) If ever a country song had swagger and pluck it's this.
Great lyrics
Great vocals

As I recall, we started this as "let's write something to pitch to Patty Loveless" (and others like her). Lori Morgan was a favorite, too...
