1. Diamonds and Rust (Live at Beach Street)

    by Cel Kulasekaran and Kim Phillips
    [Flash 9 is required to listen to audio.]

    Recorded live at Beach Street, Boston. For my father, M. Kulasekaran, in celebration of his 60th year. This version is a cover of Judas Priest’s acoustic take, which was originally written and performed by Joan Baez.

    This performance has a number of firsts. It is my first solo song recorded with a vocalist. It is also Kim’s (vocals) first recording and she has never sung before. We had a lot of fun recording this track.

    Guitar: Ibanez SA 420X
