what a wonderful world - what's the story with this one?
'the werewolf' from michael hurley's 1965 'the werewolf song' appalachian beatnik anthem. sung by horsemouth with howard on backing vocals. the guitar is lifted from cat power's version and the lyrics bowdlerised for modern sensibilities.
- 'what a wonderful world (this would be)' sung and played by howard. a version of sam cooke's song. howard appeared with the chords (an Am and a C)
- 'gently johnny' by paul giovanni from the soundtrack to the wickerman. by the time horsemouth got there howard had changed the chords, (ah well that's the folk process) fortunately they were like the chords for 'the cuckoo'.
- 'father death blues' by allen ginsberg. horsemouth on vocals, guitar, ukulele and keyboards.
- 'blue crystal fire' by robbie basho. guitar by horsemouth, robbie basho uses a strange tuning for this, horsemouth plays it in standard, howard sings.
- 'a la luna yo mi voy' sung in spanish (sort of) by horsemouth (with howard on backing vocals on the choruses) by eliades ochoa from the afrofuturism album.
- 'silver raven' by gene clark . howard and horsemouth on vocals. horsemouth on guitars and lapsteel guitar on the solo
- 'sorrows of tomorrow' (original) - that's actually one we wrote.
did I mention it's free...?
