"I suppose I decided to do a covers album to help me fall in love with music again. The follow-up to Old Low Light was ready to be recorded, but I was feeling cynical and I didn't want to take that into the studio with me. We did a gig at Regent's Park and recorded it, the next day we were discussing the possibility of doing a covers EP using two songs from that gig and a few more. Then we started making a list of songs that would be good to try, and the list just kept growing.
People were giving me compilations of their favourite songs and I had all my old records all over the floor. Dave and Laura would come round to my house and we'd just listen to stuff and have a go at playing it.
Playing the songs in their original form, breaking them down and building them up again as if I had written them was a really valuable experience for me as a songwriter. I found that I could see how songs had been written and worked on. It was like taking a home study course in music appreciation. It's exciting to think that one of these versions might prompt someone to go out and buy the original.
Some of the songs that ended up on the album came as a surprise to me. I thought I'd definitely do a Dylan cover, and something by the Beatles or John Lennon but songs just choose you sometimes, without any apparent reason. It's like with friends - you can't define why your relationship work, you just connect with some people."

Thanks to
Dave, Laura, Jonny and Alex, my wonderful band, who grow and change with each album. Your company and support is as important as your brilliant playing. Extra special thanks go to Laura and Dave for listening to a lot of songs and making them our own. Darius Kedros, John Fortis, and Dave Maughan for their techno heads and good ears. Head for his generosity with information, for being on the end of a phone and being a top bloke. Alan McGee and Stephen King for suggesting songs, calming me down, making me laugh and getting me out of the house; all the most important jobs for managers. Pete, Richie, Goatie and Jonny at Creation for being an incredibly efficient group of people who will send you crisps if you ask them. Joe Kessler for being brilliant in general and following her dream of a chair. Mike at Helter Skelter, Nigel at Moneypenny, Richard Manners, tim Gardner. East West for putting this album out without knowing me. Neil for being so special and doing everything else as well as running Caw Records. Mum, Dad, Emma, Mike and Alfie for their love and support. And to everyone who comes to see live shows when you could be watching tv.
