“Further adding to the transient and homeless theme, [x] employed the singing talents of an itinerant local to help with backing vocals on the album. “I wanted a vocalist who sounded like an old man, I told [x] who produced the album and he said ‘what about the Old Man of Bath?’ It turned out to be a down-on-his-luck thespian who lived in the local hospice. We brought him in and despite it being impossible to get him to sing the same melody twice, he ended up singing on three songs. One of those songs is ‘Eviction Song’, where the Old Man of Bath does a fine job, adding another level of meaning to the song about [x] moving house, yet again. The intriguing character asked only for a bottle of whisky and a 4 pack of Tenants in return.”
