What a great version of First Cut Lo! My first introduction to that song was Rod’s version which I loved passionately until I got cool. The PP version is going to be my forever favourite! Love your moody number too and yes, that pedal steel- sooo good! My merch idea is that you buy cheap but cute undies and decorate them- embroidery and trim and so on . I think that could be really cute plus small and compact! Have a nice week, Anna from Ballarat xx

I still love Rod's version passionately but P.P's is sublime! Love your undies idea, thank you, I have been pondering this concept myself, I used to do iron on transfers on cotton undies with a band I had years ago and we always sold out!

I never learned to dance either, well I sort of did, but I never enjoyed it. But I also love the pedal steel and always wanted one. I recently bought an 8-string steel, but no pedal. It was on my must have list. Someone asked me the other day if I had enough guitars. What a stupid question. New strings recently arrived so looking forward to learning how the tunings work.

I used to go and play at country clubs and loved it when they had a good pedal steel player. It just adds a whole new dimension that I never envisaged when I wrote the songs.

Yes I find it lifts songs to a different realm. Have fun learning your new tunings on your eight string!

merchandise choice of mine 😉 would be a large light charcoal kind of earthy colour, of a Lo Carmen t shirt ! 🙏 That would be cool !

Thanks so much for your story today Lo, thoroughly enjoyed & it cheered me up !

I love seeing gorgeous Jonny Banned (as my daughter used to call him, as in Jonny from the band, and it morphed into this nickname) in this clip too - the footage is from our old band Automatic Cherry, and was never edited at the time so I repurposed it for this track. Love your simple t-shirt idea, sometimes I get so caught up in imagining all the crazy things I could make I forget about the things that people actually want! Hi to the cows x

Toledo Mercy is great title too! Glad you like it Rols - he's also done some cool stuff with William Tyler, another moody/ambient avant garde Nashville guitarist who makes great instrumental albums.
