This one has vibe, authenticity and fab performances from a crack ensemble.
Ace mix with that bass thudding away as it ought too.
The tag was well worth hanging around for as it tied this package with a neat bow.
TREE mendous.

Thank you very much Dan! We all three much appreciate your listen and generous comments.

Vocals, performance, everything is top notch.
Enjoyed my listen a lot.

Best regards.

Thank you!

Man, I'm very late to the party on this one, three pages of reviews already! eek

Just love the acoustic approach! Bass is solid, and the Cajon sounds cool.

Peter sounds great! And Janice is her usual awesome self cool

Excellent right from the start to that cool ending, well done folks.

Tom, given the quality of your productions and your feel for the blues we could hardly ask for a more supportive review.

Thank you very much!!

Janice is definitely the Lady Luck, everything she touches with her voice turns to gold, exceptional work here once again smile

Janne

Thank you! A laid back live feel was exactly what we hoped to achieve. And Janice much appreciates your comments on her vocal.

Janice, what a nice performance. And what nice you have a very good band behind you, with Peter there.
I think, beside Janice's' her voice the acoustic 'band' uplifted this song into a toe tapper (or maybe it already was).

A very nice Blues, really enjoyed!

Hans

Thanks Hans. Janice says she's is proud just to be mentioned in the same paragraph as Bessie Smith!
We three are happy you liked it!

Late to the party - couldn't get my email for almost two weeks! Hope the cake ain't stale and the Coke is still cool.

I'm guessing the Blues genre came to be because someone knew you two would someday come along and give it validity.

Just so danged good! These Blues put a smile on my face. All three of you outdid yourself. This is my favorite lead track from Peter - awesome! And Janet's voice? Well, the known superlatives are inadequate. And Bud's knob twisting - precision!

Blues as it's supposed to be.

Hello Janice Bud and Peter,

Composition very rich in orchestration. The mix is ​​impeccable. And the tone of Jani’s voice is still so pleasant. I also like Peter's guitar playing. Everything is smooth and well done.

Jani

Loved the groove and feel to this tune. Love how Janice's vocal slides the note. Perfection. Peters guitar break was excellent. Some very tasty basslines :-). Awesome production and mix Bud. Radio ready. Well done..
