Roger Ilott + Penny Davies [Australia] |
||||
Roger Ilott – vocal, acoustic guitars, pedal steel, keyboards Penny Davies – backing vocal RI: I’ve loved Procol Harum since I first heard their music as a teenager in 1967. Over the years I’ve absorbed every note and word on their albums.Though Penny Davies and I are folksingers, and the music we write and record is folk-based, Procol Harum’s influence is woven throughout our recorded musical catalogue. Recording a version of Gary Brooker’s The Angler was therefore an interesting challenge from Roland – in this case, rather than our version being influenced by Procol Harum, we turned it about so that the recording reflected our folk music background. Penny and I approached The Angler as we would a folk song, taking the basic song structure and letting the instruments, voices and arrangement develop the story. |
