Alice Di Micele - The Hounds of Winter

8. The Hounds of Winter. Gordon Sumner - Songs of Universal Inc.

When my dog Blue passed away in 2005, this Sting tune was the only song I wanted to listen to for months. It seemed to express my deepest grief. In 2020, when my dog Roxy Ann crossed that Rainbow Bridge, the song came back to me. I asked guitarist Andy Casad to work on an arrangement with me and we recorded with bassist Rob Kohler after this trio had toured all summer. I absolutely love singing this one.
