This track was written and recorded at a time when the the music world was in turmoil over the rights and wrongs of using AI to produce 'new' music and video by sampling voices of well known recording artists but with no recompense made to them. In order to highlight this issue and get ahead of the game The Wurzels decided to have their own sound 'learnt' and reproduced using AI, but at the same time being in full control of the final output. The track and accompanying video consist of both AI developed sound intermixed with some new original content by the band - all produced and engineered by band member Louie Nicastro.The AI video produced to go along with the soundtrack featured the current band but also cleverly included the band's late drummer John Morgan and the founder of 'The Wurzels' the late Adge Cutler, together with animated Wurzel LP artwork.
