jessfountain I love the mingling of eastern and western style. Also they are a very talented band.

Dogger Dog I've probably listened to this song 30 times in the past week. Normally I steer clear of cover songs, but English's take on "Norwegian Wood" is a masterpiece - his long vocal cries just before the Kashmir transition send chills up my spine. And I love the aggressive guitar approach to Kashmir, and the addition of the flute. This is a definite crowd-pleaser, so hopefully Mr. English includes this in his live sets!

about

Not a cover, a Middle Eastern-infused rock hybrid reinvention of the classic Led Zeppelin and Beatles tracks “Kashmir” & “Norwegian Wood”.

“We were on a break from our first U.S. tour & I heard some of the band jamming a Middle Eastern groove. I began singing “Norwegian Wood” over the top and this medley was born. It became one of our most popular live songs: recognizable-but-fresh, high-energy and a quintessential example of The Aaron English Band's hallmark.”

“We'd always enjoyed playing this medley, and we got some great live recordings of it but we’d never recorded a studio version. By the time we’d gotten together to record we hadn't played together since July 2008. We regrouped at Death Cab for Cutie's Two Sticks studio in Seattle in October 2010 for a session and spent four hours dialling in sounds & catching up before putting the medley to tape.”
