"Old Man Kensey"

Old Man Kensey may well be my favourite Fables song. If not then it certainly has my favourite middle 8 in the R.E.M. discography. I would have loved to see this song make an appearance at the Dublin Rehearsals.

Powered by its bass line, this cover puts my amateur bass guitar skills on full view! I haven't quite got the sound right I know. On the record there appears to be some kind of "chorus" effect on the intro bass line that I'm fairly sure dies off once the other instruments begin to cover it up. I'm also not entirely pleased with the guitar solo, I find it really hard to play. But, hopefully, I think I've got the overall mood of the song right...
