Station To Station (David Bowie cover) by Brown Dwarf

Originally recorded in 2017 and released on what would have been Bowie's 70th birthday. Released today on YouTube to celebrate the eponymous album's 45th anniversary! This cover version is available to download on Bandcamp now: https://browndwarf.bandcamp.com/track... Recorded in Stretford, Manchester and Hackney, London between 3rd-7th January 2017 I talked about covering this song with Simon Love, ex-The Loves and Knickers; lately of Simon Love & The Old Romantics, since at least 2004. Simon plays piano on this recording. It's specifically a 'studio' cover of the 1978 live version from the Stage LP. I can't sing for toffee but I hope you enjoy it. Thanks very much to Chris from Hot Shorts for persevering with me and recording and mixing most everything at such short notice; and extra special thanks to Simon (on piano) & Buzz (on drums) for playing with me, too. Here's some interesting reading on the background of this, my favourite Bowie track, some of which certainly seems timely ("Bowie was tasting what was already in the air in Europe, a resurgence of interest in fascism and Nazism"): https://bowiesongs.wordpress.com/2010...
