Doug had a vision for Coventry Carol that none of us quite understood, until it all came together. I had not previously heard this song so dark and full of contradictions. The barking didgeridoo (thanks to Grahm Doe) and the taiko drums (of Ronnie Ciago) bring out the heart of this tune that remembers the slaughter of the innocents that King Herod ordered following the birth of Jesus. Almost everyone who worked on this project played on this track. Baba Elefante, Steve Dixon, Ron Kobayashi, Dave Murdy, Joe Jewel, Ronnie Ciago, Grahm Doe, Richard Cook, Doug Simao and yours truly.
