Thomas Truax Covers Bowie For Lynch Album

Cruise me cruise me cruise me babe…

Singer-songwriter, inventor of self-made instruments and self-confessed Bowie fan, Thomas Truax, has recorded a version of David Bowie’s I’m Deranged for his latest release: Songs From The Films Of David Lynch, due through SL Records on May 5th.

Two edits of the original Bowie version appeared on the 1977 soundtrack album of Lynch’s Lost Highway, though the Traux version bears little resembalance to it, favouring, as it does, a stripped back reading of the song instead.

Here’s the full tracklisting…

01 Wicked Game
02 Twin Peaks (Falling)
03 Baby Please Don’t Go
04 Blue Velvet
05 I’m Deranged
06 Audrey’s Dance
07 Black Tambourine
08 I Put A Spell On You
09 In Heaven (Lady In The Radiator Song)
10 In Dreams

The first 250 copies of the album come in a limited edition blue velvet digipak-stlyle cover, appropriately enough.
