The third and final installment in Adam Franklin's All Happening Now series was released this week. All 36 songs in the collection were recorded in July 2013 as part of the Songs Project (fans who pre-ordered the limited edition version of Black Horses requested a song for Franklin to cover; Franklin recorded the cover songs over 30 days, then sent the fans a free download of all 36 songs). Due to popular demand, (and after a slight tweaking), Franklin decided to finally make the songs available for everyone to enjoy, as he explained on his website:
"The title 'All Happening Now' was suggested by Samuel Lapalme-Remis and it really was all happening last July - I didn't have too long to spend on each number and so the recordings had to be pretty spontaneous. I have allowed myself the luxury of re-mixing and retouching the tracks here and there in the interim, meaning that a certain number of the original recordings people received remain absolutely exclusive. There has been no additional recording however, just some drum tracks re-programmed and things nudged around."
