I love Cathy Davey's music and she's an extraordinarily under-rated songwriter with a deceptively good way with words. I first heard the track Hammer Head several years ago on the original demo she made - I fell in love with it and it's still my favourite song of hers. This version is rawer than the album version but it touches a nerve with me that the album version IMHO doesn't quite manage. "It's sweet to share a bed, but when you're fucking with my head...". Fantastic stuff
Cathy Davey - Hammerhead (demo)
Cathy Davey - Caroline (demo)
Cathy Davey - Go Make It (demo)

Her new album, as far as I know, is coming out later this summer and will be called Tales Of Silversleeve.
