Howdy....

This is a stellar track in all aspects.
Very classy and Janice's vox is pristine.
Every one else stole some of my thunder. smile

Very well done!

Great job one and all!

Thank Brad! It was fun eight years ago and fun again with the remix. And thanks for mentioning the mix.

Cool blues, smooth guitar and smoother vocals.
Pro all the way.

For me there’s no better place in the band than to have one leg in the harmony world and the other in the percussive. Thank you Paul Tutmarc and Leo Fender.

Janice, you know how to outdo yourself again, while that looked imposible after hearing all your more recent songs!
Your vocals shine like never before in this 8 years old song.

And Floyd on the lead... I never expected to hear that. He, the guitar guy singing about all the lost lovers.
Marvelous, Floyd! Even Dave was flabbergasted!!!

So you may have guessed that I love the song, that's what I do,
Hans


Thank you Hans for all you said and Janice was smiling while she read it.
It's all appreciated and very generous of you!

Hey team!
Sorry I am late for the show, lots of happenings. Glad caught this gem on time. Amazing creative drive!
FANTASTIC vocals + Sticky Fingers solo, a rare event that should definitely be repeated. Super mix. 100+ tunes... Wow(!)
Enjoyed it and thank you for sharing,
Misha.


P.S. "we know the tune does not resolve...." Don't know what you talking about, everything "resolved" just fine in my mind smile

I'm glad you brought this back.

All I can say is Wow, wow, wow. What a combo---the vocal and guitar are a match made in heaven. Soulful and sorrowful.

Edit: I came back to listen again with the good buds. This edit is going to focus on the guitar. To start, the guitar is not loud enough in the entire song. The tone and treatment on it seems to put it in a different place from the rest of the band. Everything else is tight but the guitar is squishy, if that makes sense. Much of that can be attributed to the slow bending. It doesn't sound like it is cohesive. In a number of places, it was interfering with the vocals and was distracting from Janice's voice. Personally, if I was going to play that guitar part, I would back off the reverb and distortion. Clean it up and give it a bit more crunch. Make the fills a bit more concise and avoid the continuous bends. The vocals can bend and slur, but use caution when attempting that on the guitar. It's a delicate balance.


Glad you like it. Well sort of smile. Other than different drums and new fx it’s the same version from 2015.

Thank you Leon! Janice was singing the phone book the other day. She’s now at the X’s so it’s a bit weird smile

And telling you once again that this song is so incredibly blue. Floyd sounds so perfectly blue --almost crying on that guitar. Janice, dang girl, you can sing anything, and sing it so amazingly blue. This song has a ton of feeling --a metric ton. That's heavy.


Thank you Mart for the generous review. And YES for us irrespective of genre feeling and soul is always the objective!

Thanks again,

I love the blues and this is better than a lot of the blues available from Alligator Records.
As usual everything is professional.
Loved it.

Folks it don't get much better than this! Tom


“ Southern Gothic Blues”
Love that description Tom!

We appreciate the positive and supportive review.

And having a lyricist like you quote ours is very special indeed.

Thank you!

The band and the mix are excellent, Floyd's guitar is crying just like it should do.

At 2:36, there is a sound that bit disturbs me, I know it is from the guitar, but between words it creates another kind of association with the title - sorry, I couldn't resist my dirty mind wink

Janne


Thank you Janne for those nice comments. Now a 2:36? You naughty boy! smile

Way to go, Janice!! And that lead guitar by Floyd is just steaming hot. And a first class write as well: “The heat’s been pressin’ me down like God’s own hand”. Wow, that’s killer stuff . . . as is the rest of the write . . . as is the whole thing. Beyond impressive!

My best to you all,

Good to hear from you Misha and your generous review is much appreciated ... all the way around. The song does not end on the root chord and we've been called out on that in the past smile So glad it worked for you as it did for us.
