Synopsis
Product Description Justin Currie was still in his teens when he co-founded Del Amitri in his hometown of Glasgow. From 1982 to 2002, the band evolved from resourceful D.I.Y. indie combo to international hitmakers. In 2007, Currie released his solo debut, What Is Love For?, on Ryko, which was acclaimed for its superb song craft and somber brilliance. On The Great War, Currie returns with a fresh collection of infectious melodies and ingenious wordplay - a combination of dark lyrical themes melded with a newfound optimism. Similarly Requested CDs

CD ReviewsAnother Excellent Album from Justin Currie Daniel Diersen | Chicago, IL USA | 06/10/2010 (5 out of 5 stars) "The Great War is another great album from Justin Currie. After several listens, I would say it is very close to or equal to his last solo effort, "What is Love For"? The albums are similar in style and themes and I definitely recommend both. As many critics have said over the years, Justin Currie is a true tunesmith. This collection of 11 songs has excellent lyrics that are moving and actually thought provoking at times (an achievement for pop/rock these days). As always with Justin, the melodies are catchy and memorable throughout and the vocals are exceptional.
Justin Currie is one of the most underrated artists out there. If you are fortunate enough to be in a city where he plays live, don't miss the small venue experience. I have seen him several times and all shows have been outstanding!" |
