Its funny what can happen when you set out to record a Country Album......

So, here's a slightly funny story...

Steve Bear came over to the studio to record a County Album. For once he was really organised, knew exactly what songs he wanted to do, sat down at the keyboard and played two notes. The keyboard was set with a synth sound from when we had been messing around earlier. Those two notes  were all that it took for him to get an idea of a song stuck in his head. 

James and Steve played around with various sounds and instruments for a while and the outline of a song was born. 
Steve then handed me a piece of paper with the words "I'm asleep, come wake me" written on it and said "write me a song based on that!" - so I sat scribbling away as fast as I could, trying to keep up with the music they had started to play - it sort of felt as if the song was writing itself, and within less than 30 minutes we started to record a rough draft of "Take My Hand" - not remotely a country song at all! By the end of the weekend the song was pretty much finished and we enjoyed the process so much we decided to set up Concrete Spirit!

Hope you enjoy listening to it as much as we enjoyed producing it
