MP3: Racingpaperplanes - The oars
Ladies and gentlemen, allow me to present to you a brand new netrelease on the IAT.MP3 netlabel from artist Racingpaperplanes aka Gbg-based songwriter Richard Wilson. We've been in touch on and off over the years, talking about all sorts of things such as our mutual appreciation of heavy metal, but don't let that scare you off as Racingpaperplanes is anything but! We both appreciate metal, but we also love country music and this new single "The oars" has got the twang. It's also got some fantastic wordplay - just listen to how he twists the words of the title into words of devotion. It's a beautiful little number, soft, sweet and sombre. Then, on the b-side, Richard gives us something a bit more on the rockier side, but you'll have to head to the download page to grab that one. And don't forget to snag the the sleeve while you're at it! Enjoy and please, feel free to spread the music around!
