Sometime in early 2017, The Rocking’ Dead met with writer Manolis Daloukas who at the time was writing his new book and was preparing an art & music side project that would be linked to it. Both sides were very keen to cooperate and so… after reading a draft version of the book, the song “Wild Horses Neigh” was written, the music and lyrics of which were inspired from “Matala – The story of Neferiana“!
The acoustic / stripped down version of “Wild Horses Neigh” was exclusively recorded for Manolis and his book. The recording took place in mid September 2017 at studio “Διαγωγή Κοσμία” with sound engineer Manolis Koutsakis.
