Mr Day & The Dynamics – Tears of Joy (Favorite)

Released: 05/12/2008

Produced by the magnificent Patchworks, Mr Day returns with a new song from his next album. “Tears of joy” is a sweet, soulful song that might just have charted in the 70s, but these days I guess it is up to the vinyl junkies and genuine music lovers to make sure a wider audience get the message. 

As if the original weren’t’ enough, Mr Day invites The Dynamics to interpret the song. ”Tears Of Joy” became part of the bands repertoire when they had their first gigs, and they created their own version of the song. As expected, it is down reggae avenue, and definitively adds something special to this 7″. 

I have a lot of respect for Patchworks. Every track he touches, regardless of genre or starting point, ends up being something special. I guess that is one of the characteristics of a good producer, having a wide horizon and being able to interpret it through your own vision of how music should be. His live band The Dynamics is a true example of this.
