Recorded in Lyon 'Oh Death!' (traditional) Animals & Men 2009

 Got asked yesterday if someone could use this on a drama series of the same name. We consented as our stuff on the Free Music Archive is for this purpose - creative commons etc. We were glad someone liked it. Some interesting photos by Caryne of our trip in Lyon. They had a studio there and we had some spare time so we did some songs and they came out fine considering the engineer was still finding his way. It may seem a bit gloomy to do a song Oh Death but that was where we were at at that time with my parents dying and all. Based on the version by Charley Patton and Bertha Lee. Lyon was a lovely experience. The crowd knew our material and went for it - I used to have a clip of us doing Oh Death and everyone going mad singing but I was not allowed to put it on Youtube as the people were a bit embarrassed by their antics. Shame. Original here
