Back in the 70's, a local radio station was giving away promo discs and I found one by the group “Unicorn” An English band trying to do country rock (produced by Davis Gilmour) I loved it then as now so a year ago, I took a crack at recording a cover of one of their songs. I dont think I ever posted it here. The real band stuff is below. I punched in a lot of the guitar, bass and pedal steel parts that I couldn't get with BnB. I did all the vocals. I hope you like it and search out some Unicorn albums. There are a lot more gems on them.

Sleep Song
Guess we all get those days when it pays not to speak But to keep out of sight and to stay 'neath my sheets In the safety of sleep, in the safety of sleep
There's a man in my mirror face of death morning white Memories of last night hanging over his head I was reaching too tall, I was riding to fall But I climb to my feet for my challenge to greet Though tonight we will meet in the safety of sleep
But it's alright, it's okay, only morning anyway It's alright, it's okay, just another part to play
Fishes float in the breeze I guess to put you at ease But he's already here and I bet he's got plans For the drill in his hand for the drill in my mouth Staring into the nose of a white dental man Hanging onto his seat like a leach or sea clam But he carries on Lord like he's fixing a Ford Come on inject my blood with your merciful drug So my mind may retreat to the safety of sleep
But it's alright, it's okay, only morning anyway It's alright, it's okay, just another part to play
Guess we all get those days when it pays not to speak But to keep out of sight and to stay 'neath my sheets In the safety of sleep, in the safety of sleep
There's a man in my mirror face of death morning white Memories of last night hanging over his head I was reaching too tall, I was riding to fall But I climb to my feet for my challenge to greet Though tonight we will meet in the safety of sleep
But it's alright, it's okay, only morning anyway It's alright, it's okay, just another part to play
Some of us may not have heard the original "Sleep Song" by Unicorn. I know I hadn't so I looked it up on YouTube and found +++ THE ORIGINAL +++ for comparison. Neat song and a nice cover.
Unicorn is a group I hadn't heard of so thanks for alerting us to their music!
To my shame I'd never heard of the Unicorns. Very 'Monkees' in style I thought. Haven't heard the original so I can simply say I enjoyed the song and its well put together using RTs, my fave use of BB. Great job Bests Ian
