Take Me Home (Country Roads)
After we lost mum (pictured below, left) in September 2022, I found some old audio cassettes in her attic, one of which was a selection of tracks she had recorded with my aunts in around 1975. The recordings had suffered a little through many years in a cupboard, but having restored them as best I could, I lifted the vocals from one song and wrote a new backing track. The song is ‘Take Me Home (Country Roads)’ by John Denver, and though it’s just a small thing, ‘collaborating’ with my mum (who is singing the lead) went some small way to making up for the conversations I miss having with her. This is also dedicated to my Auntie Mo (pictured below, right) who also passed away in 2022.
