SUFFRAGETTE CITY
This our recasting of Bowie's signature rocker as if sung after a three day bender with the lingering regret and exhaustion that comes from losing one's way back, but still trying to hold on to whoever’s closest at hand, and whatever's left of one's diminishing returns. The bari-sax pops in to quote another train-riding classic while our hero’s last gasp suggests a rally before falling back, catatonic, onto the bare mattress on the top floor of The Celestial Tenement.
Recorded at Brick Hill with Matthias Bossi on Congas and Drums, Jon Evans on Bass, Bruce Abbot on Baritone Saxes, Aaron Mayo on Guitar, and Hum on the Rhodes.
Thanks to Ken Stevens for the dreamy cityscape.
Suffragette City joins our cover of Björk’s Bachelorette as part of our CRIPRings project which will include excursions into songs from Radiohead, The Doobie Brothers, Talking Heads, Genesis, White Stripes, The Man of La Mancha, et al.
