album
These are mostly very old songs re-recorded recently under conditions of live performance. Two bonus tracks are included, the No-Go day opus in it's full version and a gem from the Incredibles. Credits go to Neil Pointon for half the lyrics on Just My Kind, the middle bit of European Cowboy and inspiration for Von Kant. Neil actually rehearsed several of these reworked songs with me before disappearing off again on his bike, just when we were nearly ready to record. I hope he'll come back down off his Yorkshire Dale one of these days.
The collection is called Unshaven, because I started growing a beard, and the performance was really without any frills or overdubs. You will be pleased to know that the beard project was short lived. |
