about

Wings Wetted Down by The Bastard Sons of Dennis.
Album: Cosy Lube Turtle

Wings Wetted Down is a cover song.

This arrangement by The Bastard Sons of Dennis.
Inspiration drawn from the 1973 Tyranny and Mutation album.

Wings Wetted Down is a truly wonderful song, often overlooked. The craftsmanship of its composition by the legendary Bouchard brothers is masterful.

This version is in G# minor. The chord progressions are so beautifully constructed, with a minor second A major and a 'devil's interval' flattened fifth chord of D major providing a gloriously satisfying twist.

Both Chuck and Derek take solos. Derek's is an addition that is not found on the original version.

Wings Wetted Down was always a very popular live song. It was performed on many occasions by The Bastard Sons of Dennis and introduced by the band with a cryptic and comical description.
