Lean Into It

Two instrumental tracks to round off the years releases. An original composition, "Lean Into It" and a cover of Ryuichi Sakamoto's, "Merry Christmas Mr Lawrence" from the movie of the same name starring David Bowie. Thank you for listening to my music and an amazing 2023 - 2024 here we come!
Big Boot Running
Brian Baker
Jarring - minimalistic... Think what would happen if Tom Waits and Jimi Hendrix were hanging out in Electric Ladyland Studios, whispering and laughing at some in joke only they could get.

Ask Your Mother (2023 remix)
Brian Baker
A radio station asked me for a WAV file of this song. It prompted me to remix and remaster the track. A fun song - fun to record. I played drums, the back of a guitar, Uke, everything really! See below to download a WAV file.

For an artist who is abundant in the creation of his original music and songs, it seems a counter intuitive move to release a cover version, especially one as highly regarded as Tom Petty’s “I Won’t Back Down”.

For an artist who is abundant in the creation of his original music and songs, it seems a counter intuitive move to release a cover version, especially one as highly regarded as Tom Petty’s “I Won’t Back Down”. However Brian brings some new elements to the song, his evocative guitar playing for one, as well as a new, laidback feel. “ I’ve been a fan of Tom’s since I purchased his first album on the day it was released in New Zealand. Following his progress avidly from there led me to falling in love with his solo album, “Full Moon Fever”, and this track in particular since it featured two other favourite artists of mine - Jeff Lynn and George Harrison. Jeff’s production, in particular has been an inspiration over the years. “I Won’t Back Down” brings all those elements together for me, an absolute honour and pleasure to record and perform, a tribute to Tom Petty and all those guys fantastic work. I’ve tried to keep the essential elements of the track and still put my own stamp on it.”
Here Comes The Rain
Brian Baker
Bright, uptempo track - it currently closes my live show - great to jump up and down to!
