Haunted Man - Feenstra and Simpson
‘Haunted Man’ is the second single by the pop roots-rock duo Feenstra And Simpson, which comprises award winning songwriter/lyricist/promoter and author Pete Feenstra and former Wilko Johnson championed Feelgood Band pain man, multi instrumentalist and indie artist John Simpson.
The song is a Hitchcock inspired tale of paranoia under the sun.
Pete explains: “The idea came from a visit to a recycling plant in South West France. In the summer it is surrounded by corn which seems to grow very quickly and very high. And before you know it, you are surrounded.
This put me in mind of the Alfred Hitchcock movie ‘North By North West’. I then called up John.”
John: “Pete sent me the lyrics and suggested a man on the run in a Hitchcock type scene. Using the ooh’s and aaahs harmonies I tried to make it sound ghostly and other worldly, almost like running through that cornfield.”
The song made #78 on Hit Tracks Top 100 in The Netherlands.
‘Haunted Man’ is a successor to the duo’s debut single “Your Eyes Gave You Away’ which achieved over a thousand youtube hits in the first month of its release.
Raw Ramp magazine summed up the duo’s musical style thus: “The jangling guitars and pop harmonies owe much to the ching ‘n’ chinkle tunefulness of acts like Tom Petty, the Traveling Wilburys, Nick Lowe, and The Byrds.”
