For OAW #3 we told our friend Dom Major to don some of his highest quality Friday night denim and meet us in a stranger’s living room. Canvas Sounds supplied a hairdresser and makeup artist as old Dom’s a real ‘I forgot to shave but check out my boots’ type operator. A bit of a cowboy.
Dom performs an ode to sour mash whiskey and his own apparent alcoholism with his original track ‘Jack, D’. Imagine the chords to ‘Desperado’ and the voice of a teenage Ryan Adams – that’s the Dom Major flavour. And then, in a feat of unparalleled bravery and skill, Major Dom sets his sights on Dire Straits’ lovelorn ballad ‘Romeo and Juliet’…
This ones for all the denim clad star-crossed lovers out there.
Original: Jack, D
