Taken from the new project ‘ReWorks Vol.4 Pt 1’, Neil C Young’s new single “Them Bones” is already a classic made famous by Alice in Chains.
Turning the track into his own, Neil certainly puts his own twist on the legendary number. Based in the U.K., Neil’s jazz guitar work is best described as effortlessly original.
Speaking about the spine-tingling version of Alice in Chains’ ‘Them Bones’, Neil states, “When I heard it for the first time, the power and energy hit me immediately. Having that ringing around my head for years led me to create an arrangement for my fusion trio. I wanted to keep the drive of the original but to add some of our/my influences into it, notably the harmony of the original chorus where I got a suggestion of Latin harmony from, which I’ve tried to play on in our arrangement”.
“The lyrical content is something I am fully aware of and have always accepted life has an end, and we can’t do anything about that fact, so the emotional aspect is something that I’ve tried to maintain but, as in life, there are emotional moments along the way we can’t deny.”
