Oh, My Love - Lesley Rae Dowling

Oh, My Love - Lesley Rae Dowling - remix 2020

A second look at earlier work.

The project to re-animate some of the best songs by Lesley Rae Dowling continues with the re-mix of - Oh, My Love - a track from her debut album from 1981. The original production somehow did not manage to uncover the full extent of the songwriting or her vocal performance. The new version has turned the song around.

Slated for download and streaming on the 22nd of May 2020, this is the third of the 2020 re-mix project releases of Lesley's songs undertaken by Terence McCullagh. He is the original producer of the first release of this song.

Mystery Lesley Rae Dowling Single - a stunningly clear and emotional performance

🕵🏻‍♂️ Almost all Lesley Rae Dowling (LRD) songs are lyrically a mystery. But a mix-up on the digital release of her Split album resulted in another mystery.

A version of the song appeared to be one of the missing works from the cat

Lesley Rae Dowling - New Possession

💍 As is so often the case, Lesley Rae Dowling’s lyrics are cryptic, her delivery - always full of emotion. For us this new release rates up near the top of the many great songs that she has come up with, but it has surprisingly, never been promoted as a single. Her writing had matured by the time she wrote this one. The lyrics show careful attention to how they are placed in the rhythmic flow. The melodies and other musical elements display the same level of experienced compositional skill. This song was brought to Tully McCully by Lesley after the experience of her writing the songs for the When the night comes album, which itself showed a new level of songwriting from her.

Tully and Lesley Rae Dowling (LRD) worked on numerous musical ideas together, some of these were unfinished, and have subsequently joined the remix release series. This song was one that never made it onto one of the McCully produc
