Acoustic UK George Harrison tribute shows spawn latest entry in The Bootleg Series
Hot on the heels of several UK acoustic shows and radio appearances The Badge have released the latest entry in the now 7 volume official "Bootleg Series" today with "For George: Live at the BBC - The Bootleg Series, Vol. 7."
The 4-song digital EP is being offered as a free download at www.thebadge.com and includes three songs from recent BBC appearances in conjunction with the two George Harrison tribute shows The Badge's founder Jeff Slate appeared in, dubbed "For George", at Liverpool's St. George Hall on August 1st.
The EP includes stripped-down acoustic versions of the songs "If Not For You", "Any Road" and "This Is Love" as well as a full-band studio recording of "I Don't Want To Do It." The latter track was recorded by Slate, The Badge's former drummer Alex Alexander, bassist Marc Grunenfelder, and guitarist John Ellis (who made a guest appearance on the band's 2003 release "Calling Generation Mojo") during demo sessions for the band's second album.
A solo album is finally on the way...
Jeff has teamed up with producer Eric Lichter and pre-production has begun on a solo album tentatively entitled "Lucky Day Sunsets."
Look for updates and preview downloads in the coming months.
