Angel Wings (Williams & Glasson)

Our cover version from the recording by Peter Gabriel

The book of love Peter Gabriel Cover

A song of beautiful sentiments written by Beth Nielsen Chapman performed by myself and Laura. Laura superbly taking the lead vocal, her vocal is so clear and true, shades of Kate Rusby but as we’re finding more and more her sound is her own and uniquely belongs to Laura Savina. The guitar part is simply a single track too played finger style (Artey Style) on my Pierre Bensusan signature six string Lowden. Please repost it if you like how we’ve done this.

Mid 70’s written by Joan Baez about Her relationship at the time, with Bob Dylan

DIAMONDS AND RUST - Joan Baez cover

A lazy vision of a Mark Twain type, a poet looking for inspiration. Some ideas come and go, like tiddler fish some get thrown back. 

Originally published on Artey’s  second album “Stories To Tell”, this version is studio recorded in West Bay Bridport with Laura Savina.
