Steel Claw

The last CD production of 2020 amidst Covid madness. I have done covers of songs by my favourite Dave Edmunds, 'Steel Claw', 'Rules of the game', and 'You'll never get me up', the latter being ironic as it is about not wanting to go up in an aeroplane (and you all know I always want to do that!) There are two tracks from the past done by Tony Christie which I hope I have reproduced well, 'So deep is the night' (an arrangement of Chopin's Etude No. 3 in E Major, Op. 10, No. 3) and 'I did what I did for Maria'. My biggest challenge was recording the original version of 'Son of my Father' which was in German. Interestingly, in 'Nachts scheint die sonne', the German words bear no resemblance to the track we know in England by Chicory Tip. I really liked 'The garden of England' originally performed by Gerry Rafferty. Hope you enjoy the tracks!

Another bonus song and video can be viewed here 'Where could I go (but to Turweston)' a song where I have changed the words and added a video and photographs over a very dismal and foggy weekend! All inspired by the Covid maness!

To play the tracks, use the links to the tracks at the bottom of the page also, so you can just click the track names one by one to listen to the songs. I had given up on the widgets but the kind lady Alexandra at Elfsight allowed me to have some more widgets for free so the result is the fabulous jukebox below. They were also brilliant with their customer service, thank you very much. I would also like to thank the brilliant Leo from Muga Beats whose website I stumbled upon, which helped me create the accompaniment to some of the songs. A great service and wonderful customer service. Thank you.
