OK, this is a very cool perk, but it needs a bit of explaining, so here we go:

OK, this is a very cool perk, but it needs a bit of explaining, so here we go:

On an episode of "The Great Divide" podcast from a few years back, Tom and Svein played two "guide" tracks recorded by Bruce and Jamie. These were instrumental tracks they recorded with two electric guitars to work out their parts as they prepared for their 30th Anniversary Steeltown tour.

Listeners went nuts over these two recordings ("East of Eden" and "Girl With Grey Eyes"), which really showcased the intricate guitar work of the songs and had a sparse, ethereal beauty to them. These two tracks are available in a variety of the perks listed here, starting with PERK 3 and the demos download package associated with it (see PERK 3 for more details).

For THIS perk, however, Bruce and Jamie will record a similar guide track of any song you choose from the first two albums and their current set list (full song list below), minus the two songs listed above (which you'll automatically receive with this perk) and "The Great Divide", which Bruce and Jamie had to omit from this list because "we won't have time to re-learn it."

These songs will be instrumental versions with electric guitars, and they will be personalized at the beginning with a message to you from Bruce and Jamie.

Here's the list of classic songs you can choose from:

In a Big Country Inwards Chance 1,000 Stars The Storm Harvest Home Lost Patrol Close Action Fields of Fire Porrohman Flame of the West Steeltown Where the Rose is Sown Come Back to Me Tall Ships Go Rain Dance Just a Shadow Wonderland Restless Natives Look Away

In addition to the instrumental track recorded by Bruce and Jamie, Tom will record an acoustic version (with vocals) of ANY song you choose from the Big Country catalogue, the Skids catalogue, or Tom's own catalogue. (If none of those choices are of interest to you, he will consider other requests, too. As long as he can play it and it's not called "Free Bird".)

In addition, you'll also receive all the items in Perk 5:

"Men of Steel" CD Download of album Download of demos Download of "Men of Steel" instrumental tracks Download of "Another Anthem for the Damned" album from Bruce and Jamie Download of "Rail" EP and "We Were Here" album from Tom

Because of Bruce and Jamie's intense touring schedule, only a small number of these perks will be made available. The songs will be recorded as soon as the boys are able.

Because Tom does not currently have an intense touring schedule, he'll be able to get your song recorded more quickly.

Download links for "Another Download links for the demos, the "Men of Steel" album and the instrumentals should be available in early December. They will be sent simultaneously. "Men of Steel" CD should ship in late December/early January 2020.

NOTE: Anyone purchasing this Perk will be eligible to purchase Perk 6 (appearance on The Great Divide Podcast) at half-price ($50). If you're interested in that, please purchase PERK 10 for $50 along with this perk and let us know in your purchase or via email that you'd like to also receive the podcast perk: watsonkerchevalwatson@gmail.com
