A cover of Mark Kozelek's version done on a very, very hot day in an attic room in Lympstone, Devon, UK. Overdubs of guitar parts an octave up at the end of each verse. Recorded on an old Boss BR600 with a Rode NT1A and Martin OM1.

Finished the day I got the Island Years John Martyn box set. Still recording on an old BOSS 8 track.

May You Never (John Martyn Cover)

String parts made by an electric piano (headphone jack to line in of Boss 8 track - bit ramshackle). Vox doubled in the centre in parts, guitar parts L50 R50.

Faust Arp (Radiohead Cover)

Lost the individual stems after first stereo mixdown, so did the best I could with it in mastering. A learning curve. Strat, with overdriven amp and wah. 3 min instrumental.

Blues for Theo

Just a mic, an acoustic and a glass slide in an echoey marble-floored basement bar. Not the best environment for recording.
