Contemporary singer-songwriter and Cabinet of Wonders impresario Stace
pays tribute to the legendary songwriter John Wesley Harding.
Throughout the 90s and 00s, which included his tenures at Sire, Rhino
and Hollywood records, John Wesley Harding regularly toured in a duo
format with noted mandolin, accordion and keyboard player, Robert
Lloyd. This was at the very dawn of Unplugged, before even house
concerts. Once described as The Metallica of McCabes, the duos
performances were acknowledged to be the high watermark of
contemporary live performance (in venues that held about one hundred
people). Wesley Stace (Yep Roc) has coaxed Lloyd out of retirement to
pay tribute to the legendary songbook of John Wesley Harding. All
Hardings favourites will be represented and painstakingly recreated,
from Modern Rock staple The Person You Are to 120 Minutes Video of the
Week The Devil In Me; via Kill The Messenger and The Truth, memorably
performed on the Tonight Show, to Scared of Guns, recently amended and
released on Appleseed Records anniversary collection. Since Staces
critically lauded debut Self-Titled in 2013, he has played many of
Hardings songs live, but here hes happy to let his own songwriting
take a backseat to the masters: I feel an extraordinary kinship with
these songs. Its as if I wrote them. Harding himself has endorsed this
tribute: I am deeply honored, and glad to be as far away as possible.
