So, a couple weeks ago we featured a rough take of Iris Florentine as the free MP3 single of the day.
I thought maybe you’d be interested in hearing the evolution of a song, so today I’m posting the album version of Iris Florentine for your enjoyment.
Take a few minutes to compare the two tracks, I’m sure you’ll agree that the album version sounds a lot more polished.
That being said, though, sometimes I prefer the spontaneity of rough cuts, because you can really hear the song in it’s early stages, and it sometimes has a strange beauty to it that more fully “produced” recordings sometimes lack.
Thanks to everyone who came to the show last week – it was lots of fun for me to play a live set or two. I hope you’re all enjoying your copies of Orchids for Betty!
