Buffalo jam stalwarts Organ Fairchild have released the first track off their upcoming album, Songs We Didn’t Write, featuring creative re-arrangements of some favorite music by other artists.
The first single is a breezy instrumental romp through Bob Marley’s “Them Belly Full,” and was released on April 5. The full album will be out on June 7, on 180-gram vinyl, CD and digital formats.
Recorded, mixed and co-produced by Justin Guip (Hot Tuna, Levon Helm) and mastered by Alan Evans (Soulive) – the pair behind Leisure Suit – Songs We Didn’t Write includes instrumental reworkings by Organ Fairchild of Grateful Dead’s “Lost Sailor,” Otis Redding’s “Hard to Handle” with very special guest Jorma Kaukonen, a Harry Styles song, and many more.
It was actually my son who suggested a full album of cover songs! Why not? We love rearranging material in our organ trio format, and our shows always include some choice covers – we had a ball making this!
Organ Fairchild guitarist Dave Ruch
