castle winds by steel guitar and oldrottenhead

[Jarle]

When I first heard the original I didn't feel it lacked anything. Now I realised I was wrong. This is fabulous, I love it.

JOA

[Greeny]

So incredibly gorgeous. Really special, guys!

[chunk]

Nice job guys.  Reminds me of Sandy Denny's Fotheringay. And that's a very good thing in my book.

[Tangled Wires]

Magical, the interweaving of the vocal and guitars gives it a truly special quality

[danieldesete]

Fabulous collab gentlemen !
I listened to the original a few times looking for a melody or lyrics to add on, and nothing came. Jim I'm sure it took you half a second, what a wizzard you are  ! And please go for the pics, I'm sure Jean Sébastien will turn them into a nice vid.

A big well done to both of you.

Thanks guys!!!
I think there are great affinities  between the music and the lyrics of James, and that's why it work so well!
I am very curious to discover the pics  ruins that inspired the words, Jim!
