Andrew Peterson released a CD this year titled “Appendix A: Bootlegs and B-Sides: Being a retrospective look at a dubious career in storytelling and singing off-key”, a collection of bootlegs and demo recordings spanning 13 years. On the back cover, he includes this notice:
! ACHTUNG !
READ THIS FIRST
Though every attempt has been made to make this record sound super professional, it’s still a bootleg record. You’ve been warned. Vomiting and/or nausea may ensue if listened to without reading the liner notes
The liner notes start out by reiterating this: Vomiting and/or nausea may ensue if album is experienced without proper explanation, ventilation, and eye protection. Despite these warnings, it is a fun album to listen to. It includes live versions of songs like Little Boy Heart Alive, Alaska or Bust, and Isn’t It Love, and other songs you can’t hear anywhere else like Mohawks on the Scaffold and Alien Conspiracy, or, The Cheese Song.
Two of my favorite songs Andrew included are Flesh and Blood (a Communion song), and Doxology (Romans 11). To help facilitate the use of these songs in churches, I wrote out lead sheets for both of them. You can download them for free from Andrew’s website here. There are links at the bottom of the Music page.
I’d love to hear if you’re able to use them. Andrew told me he has heard from a lot of people that have already downloaded them.
Enjoy.
