Damien Leith by ANDREW TIJS on APRIL 24, 2012Adorable Irish lad Damien Leith talks about his interesting new album – half originals, half covers of Traveling Wilburys’ tunes.
A mix of originals and covers is nothing new, but Damien Leith’s Now & Then goes one further and intersperses his new songs evenly with songs by the Traveling Wilburys together and songs by the individual members Roy Orbison, Bob Dylan, Jeff Lynne, George Harrison and Tom Petty.
We talk to the animated lad about matching his songs with classics, his now enormous setlist, writing happier tunes, re-recording his ‘Beautiful’ song for Estee Lauder (to the delight of Snooki), and more.The video of the interview is on this page: www.noise11.com/vinterviews/damien-leithAt about 08:24 in the interview, Damien says that the Estée Lauder ad will be shown for the next couple of years.

Thanks Spud. This is a really interesting, entertaining and insightful interview. I loved listening to Damien explaining how Now and Then came about, how he integrated the flow of the songs and chose his originals, and about the upcoming tour- like how difficult it's going to be to decide the set list, with such a huge repetoire now!! The interviewer seemed to have genuine admiration for Damien and I loved the way said he was pretty sure this album would be as successful as Roy. ;D Nice one!

When I finally got this to download, I thoroughly enjoyed the interview. Love the way Damien 'teases' everybody with the new little snippets of information he releases on each different interview.
