So there I was yesterday searching through some of the old Big Arena Records podcasts we did last year and came across this little gem: Believe Her.
Another old song that has been recorded over the years in different forms. If I recall correctly, there is actually a cheesy Country and Western version of it somewhere.
As with the other podcasts, this performance was recorded live in the studio. Graham Boffey and Nelson Galaxy were helping out on percussion and beer-spilling respectively. I added the Hammond B3, backing vocals and symphonic strings afterwards as an overdub.
Burt would be proud of me.

It’s just so bally busy around Enormous Towers at the moment. What ho!
One hasn’t had time to think, let alone write some agreeable nonsense to keep you all entertained. To this end – keeping you entertained – I have rooted out a rather jolly recording of me and Nelson Galaxy singing Family Business, an old Slaughterhouse 5 song that Enormous are planning to re-record at some point in the near future.
This acoustic version was recorded live one windy Autumn afternoon a couple of years ago in the studio control- room during one of Nelson’s increasingly infrequent visits. The tambourine was played – rather spiffingly, if you ask me – by Graham Boffey, the Enormous drummer.
It’s a close duet with Nelson taking the lower part and me the higher one. You can easily tell who is who. I’m the taller and better looking one.
Pip-pip!
