MP3: Bacchus Tapes - Alone and forsaken
What do you do when the show's over, but you aren't yet ready to call it a night? You hit the afterparty of course, even better if that afterparty is full of similar-minded musicians. Up the ante with a room full of instruments and a recording device and you might find yourself with a new band. Or something like that -- Bacchus Tapes are an afterparty collective featuring Markus Svensson and Robert Johansson from The Tarantula Waltz, Amanda Bergman (aka Hajen), Hägga and Drillen from Hägga and the Thieves from the North, plus whoever else happened to be hanging around the evening this track was put to (proverbial?) tape. One of the songs they chose to perform on this particular occasion: it's somewhat ironic in terms of subject matter, but it's also a stone-cold classic -- "Alone and forsaken" by Hank Williams Sr.. I am much obliged to the aforementioned Markus Svensson for passing this along to share with y'all and though it might not be quite as fun to listen alone at home, you can tell they had a great time.
