Torrent description

FIRST SOLO ALBUM PROPER FROM THE STIFF LITTLE FINGERS FRONTMAN.ANYONE BUYING THIS EXPECTING TO HEAR "GUITAR AND DRUM " PART TWO IS IN FOR A SHOCK!THIS ALBUM FINDS JAKE EXPLORING THE UNFAMILIAR TERRITORY OF IRISH , HILLBILLY AND COUNTRY MUSIC. THE MUSIC MIGHT BE DIFFERENT BUT THE SUBJECT MATTER IS STILL VERY MUCH THE SAME-DRINK,WAR AND POLITICS. HE GETS OFF TO A FLYER WITH A COVER OF "DOMINO" WRITTEN BY ANOTHER BELFAST BOY VAN MORRISON."DRINKIN' AGAIN" AND "V.E. DAY" ARE COUNTRY INFLUENCED.I WAS EXPECTING THE STEVE EARLE VARIETY BUT THEY SOUND MORE LIKE HANK WILLIAMS!"GREEN FIELDS OF FRANCE" WILL BE FAMILIAR TO SOME PEOPLE AS IT WAS A PEEL FESTIVE FIFTY FAVOURITE BY THE MEN THEY COULDN'T HANG."THE RIGHT TO FIGHT" AND "CLIFFS OF DOONEEN" ARE IRISH INFLUENCED. "LAND OF OPPORTUNITY" IS THE MOST COMMERCIAL SONG ON THE ALBUM AND SHOULD BE RELEASED AS A SINGLE.THE"COME AWAY, COME AWAY, COME AWAY WITH ME"REFRAIN STICKS IN YOUR BRAIN FOR DAYS AFTERWARDS. "THE WELL BELOW THE VALLEY"IS MY FAVOURITE COVER OF THE FOUR ON THE CD AND WHEN THE GUITAR KICKS IN I CAN JUST IMAGINE A POGO AT GLASGOW KING TUTS.WITH "LANCASHIRE ROSE" HAS JAKE BURNS FINALLY WRITTEN A LOVE SONG? ON CLOSER INSPECTION OF THE LYRICS IT APPEARS TO BE ABOUT HIS DISILLUSIONMENT WITH THE CHAMPAGNE SOCIALISTS WHO ARE RUNNING THIS COUNTRY. "HALF PAST DEAD" IS ANOTHER DRINKING SONG AND THE CD CLOSES WITH A SONG "BELFAST 14" WHICH UNBELIEVABLY IS TWENTY YEARS OLD THIS YEAR BUT STILL SOUNDS JUST AS GREAT.
A BIT OF A MUSICAL DEPARTURE FOR JAKE AND AFTER A FEW LISTENS THIS ALBUM DEFINITELY BECOMES MORE INTOXICATING.
