Adey, Steve
Do Me A Kindness
Steve Adey's third studio album, Do Me a Kindness contains nine cover songs plus an adaptation of a poem by Hermann Hesse. The album marks Steve's first release in four years, following on from the critically acclaimed The Tower of Silence (The Sunday Times - Album of the week). Do Me a Kindness was recorded in a 19th century Edinburgh church, with further tracking and mixing at Steve's home studio utilising mostly vintage equipment. "I entered the studio (actually a church building) with 18-20 ideas, unformed and embryonic: it's the same approach I've used for a while whereby the record takes on its own trajectory. We tried many variations of the songs and numerous musicians, mostly playing together in the room with warts and all."
