Hmm. All I can find on Spotify is the opening track which it claims is a single. It's quite nice.
But any idea where to find the rest?

Spend some money, you tight git.

On what?! The CD is one thing but I'm more interested in the radio series.

Also, I don't have a CD or record player any more.

Ner ner.

And, anyway, I'm paying for Spotify. If I play anything on there they'll get paid. Absolutely TONS I'm sure.

Sorry , I should have mentioned this is released 11/21 and the Audible podcast "The True Story of The Coward Brothers" arrives on the same day.

Yeah, the single, Always is great, best thing he's done in ages.

The original Coward Brothers single The Peoples Limousine from 1985 is a doozy too

Ooh yes. Never even heard of it before. Very nice.

Big fan of EC and T-Bone, I'm over the moon with this!!!

[Rorschach]

Well, it's out now. Anyone else listened to the album yet?

I've listened to the first few tracks a couple of times and I'm not very impressed. The Devil's Wife is very witty and I quite like the first track, but I'm not too fussed about the rest so far.
I'll listen to the whole thing tomorrow and see what I think then.

I really enjoy a lot of what the mighty T-Bone has done over the years (was just listening to The Criminal Under My Own Hat, by coincidence)
This is not part of it. I blame Howard. Should have packed it in after My Aim Is True. Can't stand his voice any longer.

Its raw as fuck and stripped back, very abrasive on first listen, I think its a grower, each listen it sounds better.
This much is evident tho, "Birkenhead Girl" is a classic.
