DAMON JOHNSON & BROTHER CANE Release "God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen"
December 2, 2021, 3 years ago
Damon Johnson has officially released Brother Cane’s version of the holiday classic “God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen” to all major streaming platforms. The band recorded the song back in 1995 for a compilation CD to raise awareness and funds in support of United Cerebral Palsy. “It’s one of best recordings we ever made as a band,” Damon says. “I had been messing around with a drum loop and this swampy sounding guitar riff when we were contacted about contributing a holiday song to a UCP charity album. My guitar riff worked perfectly with this timeless song lyric.”
The Brother Cane version of the song was known to only a handful of fans over the years, and Damon had always wanted to get the recording remastered and edited for a proper release, especially in the age of streaming.
Listen to the track now on Spotify and Apple Music, an audio visualizer directed by Adam Jones can be enjoyed below.
