It's been a while since we last posted a new song on the PBGB blog, but now we’re back, with something different.
Graham has written a number of songs drawn from real life situations........the sort of situations which most of us have faced at some point. ‘Can’t Take it Back’ and ‘First Impressions’ , both of which you can listen to in the PBGB Vault, are two examples.
Mrs Jekyll (no relation to the original Dr Jekyll & Hyde of course!) is about the duplicity and the ability that some people have to hide their other, sometimes darker and more manipulative sides from us.
Mrs Jekyll was written nearly two years ago. At the time we tried different melodies and styles but gave up and pushed it to the back of the song queue.
But recently Graham decided to put it back on the table and suggested a particular Latin groove, with a more percussive feel.
We’re more than happy with the result. Mick’s vocals really bring the lyrics to life; the solid drum and bass duo of Pete and Lou keep the groove tight and give Neil, Mick and Graham the opportunity to add some spice with their instrumental interludes! And, as always, Neil’s production is what makes it work.
We had lots of fun putting it together and we're pleased with the result. Click HERE to have a listen and see what you reckon
Graham Brown wrote the lyrics and played the percussion instruments
Mick Nadin sang it and played harp
Neil Porter played the guitar and did all the production work
Louise Nadin played the bass

Hope you like it!
