It's been eight years since the release of Crooked Fingers' Reservoir Songs EP, which found the band covering songs by Prince, David Bowie, Queen, Kris Kristofferson, Neil Diamond, and Bruce Springsteen. After requests from fans for a follow-up, Bachmann finally found the time to arrange and record Reservoir Songs Volume II, which will include his versions of great songs by The Kinks, Moby Grape, Merle Haggard, and others.
Rather than a standard CD release, Foreign Leisure Records and Crooked Fingers will be pressing a very special limited-edition vinyl 12", each of which will be hand-numbered. The record will include artwork by Jay Ryan, who will print the sleeves at his shop, The Bird Machine. The EP will also be available as a download. Here is the track listing:
SIDE A
1. Shelly's Winter Love (Merle Haggard)
2. I Am Not Willing (Moby Grape)
3. Gentle On My Mind (John Hartford)
SIDE B
1. Wild One (Thin Lizzy)
2. Black Rose (Billy Joe Shaver)
3. Strangers (The Kinks)
Crooked Fingers will be on tour throughout the summer and is slated to have a new LP of original material finished by the end of the year. Much more to come!
Thank you.
