This is a song from a set of recordings I’m producing for San Francisco singer/songwriter Mary Kelley. The sessions for Mary have been ongoing over the last few years, and are proceeding slowly due to our day jobs. For now, I can say that this song was finished in 2010 by Mary, Dave Lebolt and myself, with Dave co-producing and arranging. The track was not written by Mary. It is a John Cale song dating from the 1970s which we liked very much and thought we could add something to. We hope you like the result. You can use the comment form below to let me know.
