Rowland S. Howard, live solo concerts - 1994 to 1997

About The Songs

• Shivers needs no introduction.
• Deep In The Woods is the Birthday Party song, just played once, and Marry Me (Lie! Lie!) was done both by The Birthday Party and These Immortal Souls.
• Other These Immortal Souls songs that Rowland has played live in solo shows are: Hide, So The Story Goes, Bad, One In Shadow One In Sun, and the song These Immortal Souls, though the latter is not listed in the overview below.
• Wedding Hotel is the song by Rowland and Nikki Sudden.
• Oh Jim, Rowland's opening song is of course the Lou Reed cover from "Berlin", and I'm Set Free is the Velvet Underground song.
• Two Leonard Cohen covers were performed: Dance Me To The End Of Love and The Law.
• Down From Dover is the song made famous by Dolly Parton. Nancy Sinatra also did it.
• Stupid Grin is a song by Marie Hoy, who in turn has covered Rowland's Shivers.
• Mother Of Earth is the fantastic Gun Club song.
• Swing For The Crime is a song by The Saints.
• The Big Sleep is a song by The Only Ones.
• Lonesome Town was written by Baker Knight, performed by Bob Dylan and Rickie Nelson, among others.
• Don't was written by Jerry Leiber and Mike Stoller, and performed by Elvis Presley.
• And then we have Rowland's wonderful new songs. Let's hope they will be released on Rowland's upcoming album! Shut Me Down, Panic Moon, the traditional All My Trials, Silver Chain (written by Genevieve McGuckin), Undone, There Is No Love Between Us Anymore, Dead Radio, Breakdown.
