As anniversaries go, you might presume that Morrissey hasn't much wanted to throw a party to celebrate his quarter century as a solo artist. After all, his year has been blighted by ongoing health problems - bleeding ulcer, Barrett's esophagus and double pneumonia, food poisoning - and a number of crippling tour cancellations, the most recent due to lack of funding, all of which has led him to note glumly, “the future is suddenly absent.”
Roy Harper has confirmed details of his new album, Man And Myth, which includes a guest spot from Pete Townshend.
The seven-track album is Harper's first studio album since The Green Man in 2000 and will be released by Bella Union on September 23.
The track listing for Man And Myth is:
1. The Enemy
2. Time Is Temporary
3. January Man
4. The Stranger
5. Cloud Cuckooland
6. Heaven Is Here
7. The Exile
