Back in 1982 Bruce Springsteen released 'Nebraska', a collection of sparsely recorded tracks originally intended to be demos for his sixth studio album.
To celebrate the 30 year anniversary of its release, Clubhouse Records gathered a group of musicians together to pay tribute to 'Nebraska' and throughout the course of a single day, 10 bands recorded the albums 10 tracks live straight to 4 track cassette tape just like The Boss did back in the day.
The sessions were filmed and below is our contribution, "Used Cars", hope you enjoy it!
Audio produced, recorded & mixed by Trevor Moss. Video direction, lighting, camera and edit by Pierre ThiƩbaut.
The live show linked to the sessions sold out over a month in advance but if you were lucky enough to get a ticket, you may have also managed to get your hands on one of these limited edition CDs:
Americana UK had this to say about the live show:
"The Cedars have one of the most readily identifiable sounds in UK
Americana and they added their trademark change of pace towards the end
of ‘Used Cars’." ... "This was comfortably the gig of the year for me and will live long in the memory."
And Band of Banjo Playing Badgers:
"What better way to leave you wanting more than The Cedars' wonderful rendition of Used Cars?"
Other acts involved in this project included: Trevor Moss & Hannah Lou, The Dreaming Spires, Danny George Wilson (Danny and the Champs), Case Hardin, The Redlands Palomino Company, The Hi and Lo, Mad Staring Eyes, The Arlenes, Jack Day and Michele Stodart (The Magic Numbers). All the sessions are well worth watching - check them out here.
