Robyn Hitchcock - Acoustic Covers, Volume 6: 2004-2005

Here's another one of Robyn Hitchcock's collection of acoustic cover versions. So far, I've only posted four albums in this series, with this one being the sixth. I have many more to go.

As with the other albums in this series, all the songs are performed in concert in the solo acoustic format. All the performances are officially unreleased.

In terms of sound quality, I have no complaints with this album. All the songs sound very good. I suspect most or all come from soundboard recordings. As usual when it comes to this kind of album, I eliminated the audience noise at the end of each song.

Here's a list of who did the best known versions:

01 Wah-Hoo - Cliff Friend
02 Happiness Is a Warm Gun - Beatles
03 Clothes Line Saga - Bob Dylan
04 Baby, You're a Rich Man - Beatles
05 Odds and Ends - Bob Dylan
06 Tryin' to Get to Heaven - Bob Dylan
07 Love Don't Live Here Anymore - Rose Royce
08 Copper Kettle [The Pale Moonlight] - traditional / Bob Dylan
09 Blue Moon of Kentucky - Bill Monroe
10 Mystery Train - Elvis Presley
11 Mother Nature's Son - Beatles
12 True to Life - Roxy Music
13 Elvis Presley Blues - Gillian Welch
14 Chapter 24 - Pink Floyd
15 Be Here Now - George Harrison

Here's the usual song list:

01 Wah-Hoo (Robyn Hitchcock)
02 Happiness Is a Warm Gun (Robyn Hitchcock)
03 Clothes Line Saga (Robyn Hitchcock)
04 Baby, You're a Rich Man (Robyn Hitchcock)

For the cover art, I wanted to use a photo of Hitchcock holding an acoustic guitar from either 2004 or 2005. Unfortunately, I couldn't find that, or even any good one from those years. So I used a photo of him from 2006 that just shows him from the neck up.
