IF YOU GO AWAY (Aka: GREAT DAY) is a gospel blues song about standing at the crossroads of a relationship.
Sample lyrics: “If you go away, I won’t see the sun shinin’… but if you come back, it’s gonna be a Great Day.”
The instrumentation is complete with Hammond B3 Organ, backup singers and handclaps.

The author would like to dedicate IF YOU GO AWAY to the memory of Levon Helm, who has provided a world of sunshine and has made many a great day for a whole lot of people over the years. We will miss him.

I, Joe Gianono, the composer would like to thank Jon Montgomery for his wonderful rendition of IF YOU GO AWAY.

I can’t imagine a recording experience being more effortless. We never rehearsed. I said to Jon “Let’s just try one” and after a couple of great suggestions and a few takes and edits, we were done. The entire process took no more than about 30 minutes. NOW, THAT’S A SINGER! (Thank you, Jon). I would also like to thank the 3 background vocalists: GG Storm, Kim Schmidt and especially San
