Probably last of the year

[offthewall]

Just finished off this one which will probably be my last full production of the year.
I feel this one is a bit special.
I hand picked some specialist players to achieve the overall sound I had in my head when I composed it.

Lyrics are from regular collaborator, Joel Sattler (USA)
Upright bass, both plucked and bowed from Tony (USA)
Theremin (real one) from Rob (Canada)
Flute from Paul (USA)
Haunting backing vocals from regular Kris(USA)
and lovely tinkly percussion from my main man Nigel (Scotland).
Other than the composition and production I do acoustic guitars, mandolin and vocal.
Sit back and enjoy (put a woolly hat on, it gets chilly).

very sad lonely sounds in this. Very good work.

James, you stepped outside your normal box in this one. Sad, haunting, and chilling is is something new for you, at least to my ears.

I really liked your collaborations here.  Everything fit like a glove, i.e. great production and mixing skills!

IMHO this is your best to date.

Thanks for the listen and the kind comments, folks.
Appreciated.
Will try to find something more cheerful for you next time.
