Worked Up Field (Fred Eaglesmith cover)

Stone Willie is now covering Fred Eaglesmith's Worked Up Field. Recorded it live off the floor with one mic and made a video with some images from the Photogrammar Archive.

Talked to Kori about the back track on the original at a show recently. Apparently she just started talking in the studio and that got added. This talking track creates a dissonance that is disturbing - it is very difficult to listen to it. I actually like it, but was too difficult to add that to the cover!

Janette on backing vocal has a bit of a Kori sound to her voice so we really like that touch. There is no harmonica on the original. I had this old Eb harp in the collection that I acquired in an online sale. David set the piano to emulate that old time clunker you find in an old town hall, and takes the song in a fitting direction.
