Cover Of The Month - “Picture In A Frame”
Some of you, especially those who helped me through the process, know that my album “Somewhere Along the Wire” was a labour of love that took many months of hard work to complete. By now, many of you have already listened the heck out of it, and are ready for more.
I haven’t started to work on my next studio album yet, so I thought to myself - what can I give you guys in the meantime? And especially to those of you who aren’t in Vancouver to hear me play?
The answer - my new Cover Of The Month feature! On the first of every month, I will post an mp3 of a favorite song-by-another-artist, as performed by me in my living room.
Compared with SAtW, the production values are definitely on the lower-fi side. This month’s mp3 was recorded on my stage mic because my condenser is MIA since the move. Also I couldn’t find my mic stand, so I propped the mic up on four pillows. You get the idea.
You might hear sirens or cats in the background, but you will also hear me playing my version of a song that’s touched my heart.
Part of the fun of this monthly feature is that the recording comes close to putting you in the audience for one of my shows. I record everything in one take, with no editing, so it’s as close as you can get to a live performance! (Minus the drunken fistfights, of course.)
This month’s feature is “Picture In A Frame”, from everyone’s favorite creepy uncle Tom Waits.
Maybe it comes soon on the heels of ScarJo’s infamous tribute album, but besides a BAFTA and a “Sexiest Woman of the Year” title, what’s she got that I ain’t? …
Anyway, between now and August 31, you can find my hommage to “Picture In A Frame” on my downloads page, or by clicking here.
Enjoy the track, and have a great weekend!
P.S. This song is dedicated with love to Andre and Meg.
