Anthony Simpkins ft. Sam Shackleton & Lucia , "Abilene" // GemsOnVHS™

Описание: When I was in Scotland, there was a little spot Matt Heckler had told me about. The Pianodrome, it was a called. A venue, a colosseum of used and neglected piano parts, in a warehouse outside Edinburgh. They let us drop by for a visit and a song, and we filmed this one of Anthony together with hometown hero, banjo playin' Sam "Scotsjitsu" Shackleton on harmonica and Lucia, visiting from Sweden.

This is an old cover of a song my friend Ezra introduced me to. I always thought it was about Abilene, Texas, which was strange because there's nothing all that nice about that town. Later I found out it was written for some old western movie and was actually about Abilene, Kansas. Go figure. Never been. Anyway, here is the version I heard;
   • George Hamilton IV - Abilene
