Simone Felice – New Double Live Album

Simone Felice’s forthcoming new release From the Violent Banks of the Kaaterskill will showcase selected works from Felice’s extensive catalogue.  The collection (track list below) will be released September 2015 on Felice’s newly launched label Mighty Hudson Records and Warner Music Australia.

Felice was a founding member of the internationally acclaimed Felice Brothers, based in the Catskill Mountains (New York State) and whose self-titled album was an early and most influential work of the indie-folk revival.  Felice has also released albums as part of The Duke & The King, and two solo albums.  He’s worked with the likes of The Avett Brothers, The Lumineers and Mumford & Sons.

The album was recorded live in the studio in front of a small audience in Woodstock with backing from his old band The Felice Brothers.  It will include songs from all phases of Simone’s recording career, including Felice Brothers’ favourites like “Radio Song”, “My Belly In Your Arms” and “Don’t Wake The Scarecrow”, Duke & The King songs like “The Morning I Get to Hell” and “Union Street”, and solo highlights like “You and I Belong” and “If You Go to LA”.  It also includes some previously unreleased material, a version of Pink Floyd’s “Wish You Were Here” and a recitation of the original poem “Country of Echoes”.
