I can't judge the mix with cheap earbuds, except that the snare gets a bit annoying after a while, but the rest is really great. You should form a band to give this fantastic music a name. JaJaPeBu sounds odd enough to be a band name

I most certainly like that farm rock sound. This is one of the most clear and well mixed productions I have heard so far. Good song. A star vocal performance. Such a clear and smooth voice. Cool guitar solo.

J & B - what a huge sound, FAB production & mix!
Super vocals & guitar - very well done folks!
Carl Thank you Carl! We all appreciate those nice comments. J&B Cool Song ... sounds very Mellowcamp (or Cougar??) Nice chord changes. Sound like a hit song to me
MORE COWBELL !!!! Glad you got that vibe. Yeah we could’ve gone a bit heavier with the cowbell! 😀 Thanks! J&B

Hey Y'all,
Yes, this does sound a lot like Mellencamp!
I think you've captured his farm Rock sound quite perfectly and I think if they did another live aid they would certainly invite you guys to get on stage!
Great lyric, great production, great guitar playing great singing, great mix.
What's not to love

Man, ya'll are SO GREAT! This song hits all the happy places in my brain, so excessive analysis by me evades the point: I LOVE this song! SUPER performances by everyone involved, and a great feel behind the console, too!! Your positive and supportive comments are much appreciated. Thank you! J&B

Hey Ya'll,
This is some damn good music! Big and bold - just like the cumulative talents of all involved.
I didn't listen to Mellencamp very much, so I can't comment about how much this parallels his style. But I can comment that it's great song regardless. Love then big snare! I think a touch of plate reverb would have added even more definition to it - but it ain't bad as is.
You folks set a high bar for the rest of us. And I think that's a good thing.
Yeah - really nicer!
Alan Thank you Al. I tried a plate reverb EMT 140 sim and several others and a Mellencamp track as a reference. Nothing nailed it but then as an upright bass player for decades and never having played with a drummer drums were and remain a bit of a mystery to me. 😀 We’re glad you liked it! J&B

This one really rocks, through the hard road! The chorus is catchy and has a very nice chord progression.
I like the tight mix. The snare sounds great, although I was hoping for more variation in the chorus and maybe only loud cowbell in the bridge. Great soloing and the professional vocals with harmonies are pleasantly sung and produced.

Song of the year. What else is to be exspected from the All-Star team. Dang. Yep, that driving snare is in our ears --eyes, nose and throat-- and makes us move to all that magic that rains down behind it. Great vocals (all 3 or 4 or more, but all perfect). Peter makes any song sound better. Janice makes any song. Floyd is inspirational, and the mix is better than many top hits. More. Encore. Bravo. Bravissimo. Thanks Marty! We always enjoy the generosity of your reviews! And you didn’t join the “snare is too loud” group.😀 😀 It really is a Kenny Aronoff thang. Your support and positive reviews are a bright spot in our music journey and much appreciated. J&B

Janice, Bud, Peter & floyd,
I've never heard of the singer before, so I searched for Mellencamp's song "Check It Out" on YouTube and listened to it.
I think your song this time certainly captures that atmosphere well.
I also often write songs getting inspiration from my favorite artists' songs.
It's fun to create songs while being careful not to be too similar, but at the same time it's very difficult.
I think your attempt this time is very successful.
Enjoyed my listen a lot.
Best regards.
Shigeki Adachi

Yep, that's a good time. I don't know what Farm Rock is, but it could be my new favorite genre. Glad you liked the genre 😀 and the song! J&B A really excellent song and production all around, except for me the drums were way too loud. Thanks! We appreciate your comment on the production. And be careful not to expose your self to Mellencamp! Or anything Aronoff is drumming on. 😀😀 J&B

Well, you had me with the cowbell!  I can hear the Mellencamp vibe happening with this, used to listen to him a lot back in the day. Good write, excellent performances by all, enjoyed!

JaJaPeBu sounds odd enough to be a band name Sorry you were annoyed. Stay away from Kenny Aronoff! 😀 Glad you liked it sans snare. And the name is very cool. JaJaPeBu … yeah man. J&B

Great vocals including harmonies. Your songs are so melodious which would also sound good accompanied by just a single acoustic guitar.
(test of a good song) . I enjoy the energy in your music as well as the lyrics. Also congrats for not playing it safe and doing the snare thing.
I enjoyed this.

Hi everyone involved in this song,
A very nice swinging song, with Janice good on the lead vocals, but ain't she always good?
Nice lyrics too. Like the story.
I had no problems at all with the snaredrum, but I agree it is a bit dominating.
Especially compared with the 'shy' harmonies in the vocals.
It wasn't so easy to hear Floyd...
And Peter was doing very good on the lead guitar. Liked it a lot!
So, you've made another Ace song, if I may recall Ezekiel in this,
Hans

Hi J&B, Peter and floyd.
This certainly made me sit up and pay attention!
I love the intro. It's perfect for setting the scene.
I also love the arrangement and what you've done with the rhythm.
In addition, the band sound is mighty!
I went back to one of my songs after playing this, and rhythm and instrumentation that I have sounded so tame by comparison to your song.
This is adventurous, entertaining and terrific story telling.
You all really have the knack for making superb music.
--Noel
