ORANGE SKIES

& SPANISH VERSIONS OF ALONE AGAIN OR

I don't have the recording details of these tracks in full but here's what I do know. Elizabeth kindly gave me these songs on cassette a few years ago and gave permission for me to put clips of them here for you. Orange Skies is a studio version that Bryan cut in the same style as Love did it on Da Capo, so he would have a version where he sang the lead the way he wanted it to sound. It sounds great. From the production, I would say that it was recorded in the late early 90s, but I'm open to being corrected. From biography page: "(At the time of his death) His famous song 'Alone Again Or' had been used on a Miller Draft advert in the U.S. and he'd just recorded a Spanish language version of the same song for the large Hispanic audience". It certainly shows what could have been if the band ever did reform to play live and record.

The two very interesting versions of Alone Again Or feature a hispanic artist who's name escapes me, but it's definitely not Bryan singing, though Bryan was involved in their recording. I really like the Mariachi style version, which is a very refreshing take on the song. Again, anyone with more info, please email and I'll post details here.

Enjoy these little jems!
