Further reissues from Graham Coxon's 'you'd be mad to overlook' solo career. 'Crow Sit on Blood Tree' finds Coxon showing off his guitar virtuoso chops as he proves he can do garage punk rock bangers, blues slide guitar and picked Bert Jansch'esque folk.
Originally released in 2001, Graham's third solo album, Crow Sit On Blood
Tree, found him stretching his wings as a songwriter
While the likes of 'Burn It Down' and 'You Will Never Be' buzzed with the same noisy
alt-rock energy he'd brought to bear on iconic Blur tracks such as 'Song 2', on the
record's gentler moments, such as 'All Has Gone' and 'Thank God For The Rain', he
showed he could also master the delicate acoustic folk of Nick Drake and Bert
Jansch.
"There's absolute mayhem on that at times, but there's quiet songs, too," Graham says
of the record, which was recorded, mixed and mastered in just two weeks. "I was still
exploring different music and what I could do. I'll turn my hand to so many different
types of music if it feels natural."
