Howdy Ranchers,
Doc here with another EP for you.
The demo of New Order’s ”True Faith” is pretty much exactly how it ended up on the 1st LP and when we play it live… and still sounds good to me. Harks back to the original concept, should you wish to call it that, of indie lyrics plus country tune equals IC. In this case, “Sunday Morning Coming Down”. After a while, that idea became too limiting for the songwriters in the band, so most of the tunes these days are written like new songs (albeit occasionally somewhat inspired ones). The Swede and me, Doc, also throw ideas into the pile and some just get forgotten. This version of Gene’s “Olympian” is a good listen in its own right. Finally my brother Ken Docherty and I did an acoustic album you used to be able to get on Spotify. All live in the studio, it was actually pretty great, he’s a brilliant songwriter (it’s not on Spotify anymore I’m afraid). This version of Clarence Ashley’s mysterious “Coo Coo Bird” shows a bit of where I’m coming from.
Keep on truckin’, Doc.
