When I Try To Be Me - AndyR Original (Remastered)

[IanR]

Stunningly good. All aspects are top notch. Sounds brilliant too.

Great song, Andy. Yes, good that you left all the verses in to get the full circle of the day. The unsung chorus is also a nice interlude. Good choice. My first thought was this had a Richard Thompson vibe to it. Probably way off base. Nice clean recording, and authentic live performance feel.

[AndyR]

Haha! Yes! Richard Thompson, not way off base at all. I remember now that I'd just discovered him around then. Somebody said, you'll LOVE Richard Thompson when I admitted I knew little or nothing about him...

And they were right. They made me a compilation cassette and it was another of those "that's what I'm trying to do!" moments that you sometimes get... you've been trying to write in a particular way, feeling into it, and then someone plays you a record where someone's already doing it and you go AHA!!!

Anyway... I'd forgotten all about it until I read your comment. I still don't own any Richard Thompson!! (Oops! I can see me putting that right soon...)
