There us growing old babe, strum my heart and bones

I
tried to imagine Roy Orbison and The Clash combining. A reviewer once
suggested I couldn't sing just like Joe Strummer and Bob Dylan; two of
my favourites - high praise indeed. Recorded this song in one day at Kate
Rusby's studio it was a joy to work with such great folk musicians.
