This is a great story: While recording the album “Try My Love” the producer Dennis Walker asked Philipp if he would like to record a version of the song “Don’t Be Afraid Of The Dark”, made hugely popular by The Robert Cray Band back in 1988. Now, you must know that Dennis Walker originally wrote that song! What an honor! Philipp Fankhauser’s recording (and Dennis’ production) of “Don’t Be Afraid Of The Dark” has given the song a brand new feel and it is far from simply being a Robert Cray cover, even though Jim Pugh from the Cray Band plays the Hammond B3 on it – just like he did then in 1988. Dennis was enchanted and wanted the track to be on the album. Almost 25 years later the story of the song continues! “Don’t Be Afraid Of The Dark (Mix 2012)” was just sent to all radios in Switzerland and will be the focus for the coming months. The song was re-mixed and re-mastered by Alan Mirikitani.
