"My Failed Songwriting Career Volume" 2 presents 4 more gems resulting from Andy Partridge’s post XTC period as a songwriter for hire writing for other artists.
Containing songs of love, longing and partnership, the songs have now been reclaimed and fine tuned to a Partridge sensibility. As such, it’s unlikely they sound similar to any interpretation or arrangement that other singers would have used.
So, for now at least, here are 4 definitive, composer authorised recordings. Who knows, perhaps with greater availability, other artists may wish to record one or more of these, or songs from the 1st or future planned volumes. Good songs welcome many interpretations.
