With Halloween soon upon us and all the creepy fun that it entails, we wanted to do something a little different from the usual ghouls, goblins and ghosts for this year’s fun. Nat had this idea to have a play with the great pop song David Bowie wrote and made famous in 1969. A song that speaks perhaps to drug addiction as much as anything to do with the vast and gloriously scary expanse of outer space, we tried to put our own Daniels & Durgy spin on it. Though generally in line with Bowie’s fantastic composition, we made some subtle changes to introduce a little love interest to the picture...does his wife actually work as one of the Ground Controllers?! Enjoy the journey and Happy Halloween everyone!

Deja Views

Space Oddity

Space Oddity (Bowie cover)

Denis and I threw this one together.  I always liked the arrangement but not too keen on the words for this one.  But it was fun to sing anyway.  No overdubs, denis on guitar.

I'm Not In Love - Den and Jim - (10cc Cover) - remastered

My brother recorded this the other day and asked me to do the vocals.  Always fun to collaborate with Denis.  You should check out his channel.  He's in my faves.

Your Song - Den and Jim - (Elton John Cover) - remastered

she's my baby  (cover)

This is a pretty yet sad song that has become a holiday main stay. This one reminded me of my Sister when it first came out.  She was away in the military.  Heck or was it my brother, I can't remember now.  Now it just reminds me of everyone.

Blackbird  (cover)

This is a great tune by Gordon Lightfoot.  I heard someone cover The Greatest Love of All, and was reminded that Gordon Lightfoot sued the writers of that tune.  I can kinda hear why. Anyway, great tune by Gordon, and I like it better than The Greatest Love Of All anyway.  I worked on this version with my Brother in Boston. It's kind a fun to do these long distance collaborations.

If You Could Read My Mind - Den and Jim - (Gordon Lightfoot cover) - remastered

The Beatles were a profound influence on so many of us that grew up during the 60’s, musically, culturally and emotionally. The frenzy they stirred while somehow mostly evoking a certain playful joy will never cease to touch my memories of growing up with hope and enthusiasm. This song covers one of their beautiful old-school ballads, written by John Lennon, and providing a bit of a contrast to their signature rocking hits. It was released in 1963 as a single that ended up on their 1964 album, “Meet The Beatles”. I’ve always loved how it pulled together a bit of the 50’s slow-dance beauty with John’s emotive vocal delivery and the groups tight harmonies and overall Beatles vibe. Happily, Nat was glad to give this cover a go as we revved it up with a somewhat country-bluegrass feel while trying to hold onto some of that Fab 4 charm.

Warm Wind Blowin'

Great tune from McCartney's amazing Flaming Pie Album.

Calico Skies - Den And Jim - (Paul McCartney Cover) - remastered

This would have have been our 20th anniversary..... never gone from my heart mister.  Recorded this one remotely with my brother Denis.  He send me the base guitar picking track.. I added the main vocal.   I tried to layer a piano part but just didn't like how it sounded, so I added a guitar or two.  I later added additional vocals  (and the crickets).  When I'm home during summer and record in the living room, I love the way the crickets sound, so I recorded them.  Some of the backing vocals I added by singing into a rolled up magazine to get this sort of organ sound.

Cover of Gram Parsons' "She". Matt and I recorded this back in August 2010, but I didn't put it on the last record because, well... I didn't feel like getting sued by the estate of Gram Parsons for my meager iTunes royalties... enjoy.
