Epysode 32: "Silent Song Through The Land"
In this epysode we dive into Ron Davies' 1973 album "Silent Song Through the Land", a stunning blend of folk and rock that showcases his incredible storytelling. Known for his songs being covered by legends like David Bowie, Three Dog Night, Dolly Parton, Joe Cocker, Long John Baldry, Dave Edmunds, and many others, Ron Davies’ impact on music is undeniable. We’ll also treat you to an exclusive, never-before-released track from Ron himself, offering a rare glimpse into his creative process. Don’t miss this chance to discover a hidden gem of the 70s and hear a song that’s never been heard—until now!
I hope you dig "Silent Song Through The Land" as much as I do.
