Elijah's track list for the Bushmills giveaway
This article has been tweet-spammed by bots for the last two days, but I couldn't get the page to come up yesterday. It includes sound files for several of the songs Elijah included in his collection of 45s for Bushmills. And there's a bit of reflection from Elijah himself that I've not seen in other articles:
In terms of emotional connection, he says listeners should tune into Lavelle White's "If (I Could Be With You." "It’s so powerful," he shares. "It's her voice, the way it was recorded, there’s an extreme power. The song is really simple musically, but it's all about the pain and intensity it carries." Wood admits the playlist is extremely personal; Indeed, each song he chose has a special meaning to him. Take "Cattle Call," for instance. "It was actually a song I heard in a bar that I swore I had heard in a film previously," he says. "I was in Santa Monica years and years ago, and I heard this song that sounded really familiar to me but I couldn’t place it. I fell in love with it and found out it was Eddy Arnold." He adds, "Including this tune in the box set feels like sharing something that is a part of myself."
Really enjoying these songs so far. Would like to have the chance to hear more about the personal stories that brought him to choose them. Edit: Really enjoying the sound of these songs so far. In terms of content, there's a lot of pain here. I hope they're personal to him for reasons other than shared experience.
