Stu Thomas solo (aka Stu D) performs an obscure but great Lee Hazlewood number, "The Girl On Deathrow". He's playing a Burns baritone guitar.
Captured on film by Gina Robertson in The Powerhouse as part of the Queensland Music Fest, Brisbane 19 July 07, at a show called "La Cosa Nostra", curated by Mick Harvey of Birthday Party and Bad Seeds fame.
The song was actually credited to 'Duane Eddy & his orchestra. Vocal by Lee Hazlewood' when released as a 45 on Jamie Records.
It featured in a film entitled "Why Must I Die".
RIP Lee. So long, ride on...
