No matter what I write here it won't convey the huge smile on my face and the uplifting feeling in my whole body. You folks are so good at this. Janice NEVER surprses me with her talent no matter the genre. Outstanding production and mix. Pleasently recieved on this end, y'all.

Now that is the kind of country I love listening to! I always love your productions Bud, and as always Janice's vocals shine, but especially with this. It's like you were born to make this kind of music. So many times I hear this style when I'm gtrying to write a song, but it always comes out so differently when I've got it finished. You guys have pulled it off with perfection. I'd like to be able to make sugestions, but how do you improve on perfect? Maybe just by saying - do it agian, and again and again ....
Brad You are too kind! As a writer you know how sometimes it "just happens." We listened to that Chestnutt album "Tradition Lives" and knew we had to have a go at it. We much appreciate your comments. J&B

A classic country song with excellent lyrics. Janice's vocals are great as even, though I feel her voice as more bluesy than country, even in this song. I'd love to hear sing some lour rock, too!  Thank you for the supportive comments. Between Janice's deep souther accent and her love of blues I guess it's "country blues." Dark rock ... hmmmm might be a stretch there! J&B

Hey!
I started playing guitar professionally in 1963 - one generation prior to this style. But, this is the style of country I played for many years. Alan Jackson probably is the most recent popular singer of pure country, as far as radio play is concerned. Merle Haggard did his part, too. But I wasn't as impressed with some of his later stuff. And their time has come and pretty much gone.
But it's always a pleasure to hear his music.
And it's a great pleasure to hear you folks. Music like this defines what pure country is/was. I'm okay with some of the modern country, but this flashback to those golden years is the perfect vehicle. Janice's voice, your mixing, and whichever of you did the arranging, is just so dang good. what a great song and fantastic listen!
Take care,
Alan Thanks Al. We figured this would be in your wheelhouse. Being a year or so older than you Bud well remembers the preceding country generation and a bit of the one preceding that 😀 via listening to all night radio in the late 50’s. Appreciate it all! J&B

That's a big country sound! Excellent vocal as always, and I can hear the country music history in it. Beautifully mix and mastered.

I remember this song!
Excellent write and vocal, and a top notch mix.
Nice to revisit an old song and tweak it, I've told Chris that one day I'm going to do that with some of our back catalogue. Not only are the tools much better now, but in my case at least I have better mixing skills than I had then.
Nice hearing this again! Thanks man. Same here as we hope our production chops have improved over the years. J&B

I like the country side. Very well done and Janice's style still shows through.
Excellent job on the instrument tracks.
Professional level all the way through.

As you all know by now, I am THE country expert, and all the names you mentioned mean absolutely nothing to me, and chestnuts can be eaten.
That being said, it's a wonderful song, the arrangement, the band, the production in general and of course the vocals.
Really, really good!

Either I'm too young to remember the original version or wasn't aware of the BIAB user showcase back then.
I love the way you can arrange a country tune so that it's relaxed without being sloppy.
Nice work on the pedal steels and, as usual Janice's vocals shine brilliantly.
Thanks,
Brian.
My music may not set the world on fire but if it causes a glow in just one person's heart, it has all been worthwhile

Janice and Bud...a show of your diversity...I love this old country sound...this IS bluesy country I think...Janice you sound super on this one...and as usual Bud this is a superior track and arrangement...I can close my eyes and see the steel player over on the edge of the stage as he played his solo...really nice to hear an older song updated...BTW my cousin Larry used to be Mark Chestnut's piano player (out of Beaumont Texas)...great rendition!
