Very nice. I love your voice. Nice guitar solo. You've got that Clapton woman tone. Sweet.

Think about that... I like the solo of that Scat! Very cool bluezy jazz or jazzy blues. Do not know where is that line of separation. Besides that everything is great on it from guitar to vocals to production, I do have a comment. I think that Janice should do more of these "chance" solos and more of these silly little ditties  This is true music. Thank you! Misha.

Well done Janice, Bud, and Peter! This was wonderful and I found this very easy to listen. The vibe was very appealing and has a good tone on the guitar. The vocals harmonize well with the other instruments. Great collaboration!
Cheers,
Joe

What a pleasant surprise to find a new release... I always look forward to hearing one of your new polished apples. I love the play of words & your quote from Louie. Just another solid performance!

I suppose telling you that I was smiling and bobbing my head along the entire time wouldn't suffice as a comment?
Where I'm struggling is I'm trying to put into words what I really liked about the guitar that has no words and the scatting which aren't words either.
Is it enough just to say this song is all about feel and that's what it does exceptionally well! I absolutely loved it. It was fun to listen to. The solos were fantastic as where the production and just writing overall to showcase the talent.
Great job you three!

And thanks for mentioning her “solo.” She did it on one take. I’ve been suggesting to her that she have a go at scatting. She’s always singing guitar parts Bud

Always nice to hear this familiar rock'n'roll formula well produced and with excellent vocals, that scat is refreshing addition.

Hi Janice, Bud and Peter.
This shuffle blues sounds as it was a very high quality live session. Christian

Well, how much fun was that?!
Loved this from start to finish.
That "WHY DONCHA SCAT, SCAT, THINK ABOUT THAT" line is a nice hook, stays with you after the song is over.
The scat is awesome (overused word I know, but it fits), and Peter as usual is right on the money with his guitar work.
And as usual the mix is perfection.
Nice one you three!

Great job you three! Hey, thanks for those remarks. And, yes, feel is THE word. Three chords like this or more complex...what matters to us in singing and playing in any genre is feel - soul. We may not be able to well articulate it but we know when it ain’t there! We appreciate your thoughts. J&B

Janice, Bud & Peter,
What an awesome song! Some great guitar and production. Love the rhythm of this tune...
Of course, the vocal is outrageously good - Janice has all the scatting swagger of Carmen McRae - just so good!
Loved it all!
