The Way of All Flesh (Demo)

In 2017 I ran a crowd funding campaign to fund the release of my EP. One of the rewards offered to pledgers was that I would record a cover of a song of their choice. Colin Tait (my dad) pledged for that reward, and chose the song '(Angels Wanna Wear My) Red Shoes'.

Earlier this year, with Jack Ward on bass and Brett Womersley on drums, we learned the song and arranged and recorded this version over the course of a weekend.

This here is a BRAND NEW MIX (Brett again) available to download, free, as my Christmas gift to you.

(Angels Wanna Wear My) Red Shoes

“This wonderful song evaded my radar last year, and it is simply lovely. The small touches (rattling piano in the distance), the poised vocals, the acoustic folk guitar riff that sounds as though it were played on a moor around a fire a hundred years ago. And in the end it all unravels into dissonance and Tait’s plaintive howl. A fantastic achievement, and at the legality of its inclusion here is comparable to that of its infamous party namesake.”
