Matt Wilson and His Orchestra – Real Life

Here’s the very first recording from this quartet. “Real Life“. The video is drenched in rain, and that feels right. This song can by found on our album, “When I was a Writer“, which can be purchased here: The group is Quillan Roe of The Roe Family Singers on banjo, the extraordinary Phala Tracy on Harp, guitar wizard Jacques Wait on electric bass and me, your guide, Matt Wilson, singing songs and playing a few instruments along the way. This track was recorded in the overdub style, each player separate, developing a part. But everyone who sees the group live thinks we should record it all straight to tape. Next time. But we got the mood I think, captured the feeling in the lyrics, printed below. This is the group.
