Folk Singer Liz Green to Release New Single ‘Bad Medicine’
Monday, 23 January 2012 Written by Rob Sleigh


Manchester-based folk singer Liz Green has announced details of her new single ‘Bad Medicine’, due for release on 12th March. The song is the latest to be taken from her debut album ‘O, Devotion!’, which came out last year. The original version of ‘Bad Medicine’ was released back in 2007.

Following the release of the new single, Green will be heading out on a tour of the UK in March and April – dates below – and will also be performing at the No Direction Home Festival near Nottingham this summer.

Speaking about her new single ‘Bad Medicine’, Green said: “This is probably my favourite song. It’s a different bag of badgers altogether from the first version of it. Me and Peri spent a long time trying to nail that trumpet solo. I eventually ended up playing it to him on a kazoo. Because I can’t afford to take a full band everywhere I go, I’ve built up a bit of a reputation for being a great mouth trumpet player.”

Going on to explain the song’s meaning, she added: “There is a simple story. The sad story of a man who is neglected by his fellow men. Punished by them for his difference. When I mention him walking like a Bible prophet I think of a man I used to see walking round Manchester, striding, head high, beatific smile. I haven’t seen him around for a while. I hope he’s still walking that way. The opening lines are how I felt when I first heard Son House. I think I’d not heard the rawness of emotion come through a recording so easily as it did with his recordings. That’s the aim, isn’t it? To capture a little bit of soul.”
