Now Here's My Plan (6 track EP) (2012)

"The record accompanies a six-album re-release by the singer, and presents new versions of a song from each. We’re not talking remastered material here, we’re talking re-imaginings, new arrangements, whole new areas of meaning. The viewpoint in the obsessive confessional ‘After I Made Love to You’ is, for example, made more sympathetic, reborn as a love song, characterised by crass richness rather than perversity. Perhaps the EP’s biggest surprise – and most rewarding risk – is the new version of ‘I See a Darkness’ – a surely untouchable classic, any return to which should speak of the same inherent folly as covering Joy Division’s ‘Lover Will Tear Us Apart’. But it works: a foot-stomping, country and western barn-stormer version of the song – a version where ‘Do you know how I much I love you?’ becomes the song’s tagline, instead of its title. It’s now a song whose focus is salvation, not trouble, and one that confirms the inherent optimism of the original." (For Folks Sake)
