WESLEY STACE’S COMMUNITY CORONATION COVERS PROJECT: “KISS ME MISS LIBERTY” - performed by GARY LOURIS
Gary Louris, my comrade-in-dressing-rooms-and-record-stores, and one of my favourite friends in music-making. I was lucky enough to make my most recent album with his band The Jayhawks, one of America's finest, beloved of all British men with taste (including Ray Davies). Someone requested this particular song from JWH's New Deal recorded by them and while that seemed a little ambitious in these days of spatial distancing, I thought we should get as close as possible. Gary pointed out that “I can’t face confinement anymore” has special new meaning now; mind you, he also thought I was singing “policemen” rather than “fall leaves” in the first verse. He also thought the melody bore more than a passing resemblance to his 2000’s song In The Canyon so I was delighted that mine was written years earlier! A huge thank you to Gary for recording this for us all, and particularly for the person who suggested it.—WESLEY STACE
