COMP: LOVEMORRICONE

Note: This song, an electric guitar-based instrumental, was not recorded during any of the original three Seeger Sessions. It was recorded solo by Bruce at his NJ home studio in July or August 2006, during a break in the Seeger Sessions Tour. Bruce's guitar part was then sent to Italian producer/conductor Luigi Caiola, who overdubbed the orchestra/string parts on top of Bruce's guitar parts to create the finished recording. First released in February 2007 on the Various Artists compilation tribute CD We All Love Ennio Morricone (Sony).
