DESCRIPTION:
Cover of Bob Dylan's "Ballad of Hollis Brown"

This was a song I started playing years ago - although, as it is very long (and some might say a bit of a downer) I didn't play it often. I think I recorded a rough version with Larry way back when, but that has been lost in the mists....

The song features:
Acoustic Guitar, Electric Guitar, Lapsteel Slide Guitar, Mandolin, Bass and Digital Drums.

For musicians and others who may be interested - here are the tunings used on the various instruments:-
Electric Guitar + Bass : standard tuning / capo 1st fret
Acoustic Guitar: 1st string detuned to D / capo 1st fret
Mandolin: Ab, Eb, Ab, Eb
Slide Guitar: Eb, Ab, Eb, Ab, Bb, Eb

The video took on a life of its own and the images in the background are from a wide variety of sources - but they form three separate strands - the themes of which are:

i) unemployment/the great depression
ii) homelessness/cameron+clegg
iii) shoreditch street art
