still surprised that he's coming back with an album of covers

after so many years without a record, I would have preferred an album of original songs

but yes, interesting collaborators, like LP to name one

His last album was only at the end of 2017?

 

oops just check his discography and had completely forgotten his last 2 albums

thought his last one was Years of refusal in 2009 :D

Oh Morrissey... He's one of those artists who I used to listen to a lot but nowadays it's quite rare, maybe because I probably know a lot more music now, haha. Just don't have time to listen to everything!!1

I did enjoy his last 2 albums the handful of times I listened to those.

 

I'm intrigued by the Joni Mitchell cover, even tho I can't remember what that song's like (I have listened to the album it's on tho, The Hissing of Summer Lawns).

Why is his December Pretenders cover not on it??

thought the same, makes no sense

I'm sure he has his reasons. Artists often make decisions that baffle their audience :D

The cover of Jobriath's Morning Starship has been released:

 

Wedding Bell Blues ft. Billie Joe Armstrong of Green Day is out now! I think this is my fave released so far :)
