Amy Winehouse records song with Babyshambles
Babyshambles have collaborated with Amy Winehouse on a new track.
Pete Doherty and his band recorded with the singer in Wiltshire, close to where the former Libertine underwent his recent rehab.
Speaking to NME.COM, Babyshambles' guitarist Mik Whitnall explained the band had been incredibly impressed with Winehouse's work.
"She plays better than James Brown playing acoustic guitar," he said. "She thinks she's shit but she's not. I've never met a girl who plays like that, let alone a man."
Whitnall added that they had finished a song in the session.
"It's a ska type track. Amy's playing guitar on it and singing as well," he said. "I'm assuming that the pair have been jamming in Wiltshire where Amy's been staying with him along with his new fianc? from what I could gather."
The duo had previously thought about covering a Billie Holiday song before deciding to write together late last year. |

Patrick Wolf to play grand tour 'Finale'
Patrick Wolf is to play a special London show as part of his Finale Tour.
His gig at Shepherd's Bush Empire will be split into two halves, first with Wolf playing solo with a grand piano, before being joined by a full band for the second half.
The two halves will be separated by an intermission.
The title of the tour does not mean he is retiring, however.
A statement says: "To avoid any confusion that this might mean he is retiring, this will in fact be the last show for a while and that, from here, he will go off to finish writing and recording his next album." |
