Richard GodwinRichard Godwin was born in June 1981, and has been playing guitar and writing songs since the mid-90s. When he is not playing music, which is most of the time these days, he is a journalist - for the Evening Standard, mainly.Tale of Tales, released 23 September 20111. Black Horse2. Spy vs Spy3. Josie4. Baroque Song5. I Think I'm In Love6. Part of That World7. Zembla8. Song of Songs9. Summer Cloud10. For All TimeI was given the opportunity to record a set of songs at Robin Grey's studio in early 2009. The set up was ideal for acoustic recording, so I decided to concentrate on my "folk" compositions (folk in the strange-tuning, finger-picked Nick Drake sense rather than the ancestral melodies sense). We recorded the basic ten tracks in two nights, keeping things very simple: all live guitar and vocal takes. We had a good headwind. Then, I seem to recall, it took some months to add the embellishments: piano, percussion, backing vocals, more guitars.We finally finished the recordings in the autumn, had them mastered and commissioned some cover art. For various reasons (finances, enthusiasm, day-job) they never really saw the light of day. I did a few gigs, not much more, then events careered ahead and suddenly we were somewhere else. Now, with a little time past, and the evenings drawing in again, I felt it was time to correct this - particularly when I found this painless means of doing so. I am now too distant from composition or recording to be either closely invested or scornful of these songs... but listening back, I see no reason why they should not exist in a little corner of the internet.I fully expect people to download for free: the site offers a Radiohead-style paying system, but you can and should leave the price option at zero. Then copy, burn, share, do whatever you like with them. I hope you like them.
