Andrew Pendlebury (1992)

EastWest 903176295-2 1992

Don’t hold back that feeling, featuring Chris Wilson, Deborah Conway, Kate Ceberano, and Dave Steel

Track 3 – Liberty Blues – D.Bray/Arr A Pendlebury

Linear notes

I met Deborah down at the local pub – she was keeping her voice in singing covers Patsy Cline and kd Lang. Originally we were thinking of a Gram Parson’s song then she came to me with this song. The lyrics are actually about U2 – the fan adulation they inspire. Basically though I just love the way Deborah sings those words in the chorus “Hallelujah Blues” – Andrew Pendlebury
