Wheatfield With Crows

Lyrics are linked to the song titles below.




Wheatfield With Crows is a collection of some older material, which had not been released before, and some new. Wheatfield With Crows, reportedly Van Gogh's final painting, was the inspiration for the song of the same name as I was thinking of a group of friends, mostly actors, writers, and musicians, all of whom had gone their separate ways, and all of whom had contributed to my "canvas," my reminiscences of our time together. Permission was secured from the Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam to use the painting as the CD cover. They sent me a slide of the entire painting sitting on two easels...it's quite a large painting, is rectangular, and therefore we had to crop for it to fit as a CD cover. Musicians include: Sarah Featherstone on Celtic Harp; Tom Leighton on Accordion; Liane de Lotbinere on Background Vocals; Paul Mills on Guitar; Lisa Weitz on Background Vocals; and Chris Whiteley on Harmonica. I was in DIY mode and sang and played Guitar, Mandolin, and Bass. Recorded in 2002.
