Only heard REN’s stuff 3 weeks ago - what a phenomenal artist
That's pretty much where I am too. Really liked that version of 'I shot the Sherriff' (and I never ever liked the song at all!)I mean, I appreciate I may not be his target audience ...... but as you say - he can sing, and play the guitar, and tell a story, and is original and I only wish the best for him. Cheers.
His recent stuff/upcoming album is rap-based.The band's cover of I Shot The Sheriff is a terrific live version, brilliant. I'm sure an ex used to rave about their Ship St performances. The solo stuff shows he's very talented but not the sort of thing I'd listen to (it's a generation gap too far for me probably). Good luck to him though. The Western Rd version of BitterSweet Symphony is genius. Do hope his health gets better and he gets more artistic success.
edit - 'kin hell Chalk Outlines is brilliant too, missed that one earlier.
Ooof. This is RAW. Viewer discretion advised.
And play classical music on the piano of course…..I mean, I appreciate I may not be his target audience ...... but as you say - he can sing, and play the guitar, and tell a story, and is original and I only wish the best for him. Cheers.
Yeah you can tell it's old because in the video for Murderer the Box gym has relocated a bit further down Castle Street since he shot the video.I was confused that he’s been releasing so much whilst having treatment in Canada for a year. He’s confirmed it was all recorded before he went.
The cynic in me also wondered if he was being bankrolled by a record company (esp given high production values of videos). But, no, all independent. Amazing, really.
Hope he gets well enough to play live again.
