A Stunner - The Left Banke
We've been researching and rehearsing songs from 1967 as part of our preparation for our Summer of Love show. Came across The Left Banke, didn't really know them, although, I do remember hearing "Walk Away Renee." What an amazing song. It's a total stunner, just beautiful. The band didn't last long, but their harmonies and the lush orchestration on the track is just superb.
We are thinking of doing "Walk Away Renee" but ours would be a much starker version. No strings, maybe no harmonies. Wonder if we can pull it off? Not sure. Still the song is just so gorgeous. Rehearsing it in our kitchen, one guitar, two voices, to my ears it sounds exquisite.
