We have left them unchanged as they remain relevant to the album and particularly to Phil and his connection to it. Even at this stage in his career, Phil was enthusiastically looking forward to performing these dark songs live and showcasing fresh on-stage approaches. \u003c\/p\u003e\\r\u003cbr\u003e\\r\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e Unfortunately, the songs will never be heard live with Phil's voice, but that doesn't diminish the power of this remarkable record which stands as a touching tribute to one of the most significant artists of a rightly celebrated generation (and beyond). \u003c\/p\u003e\\r\u003cbr\u003e\\r\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e For anyone who knows The Pretty Things, their retirement from live, electric, performances in December 2018 will be a well-known fact. After the dust had settled on that memorable and emotive night, what they were going to do next was not. In the end, the chosen route was obvious. The band had been performing a rootsy, acoustic blues segment in every live show for more than ten years \\u2013 a homage to their musical roots that was hugely well-received and always highly anticipated. \u003c\/p\u003e\\r\u003cbr\u003e\\r\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e 'Bare As Bone, Bright As Blood' is an album of raw, live, devil's music straight from the Dartford Delta with its heart in Depression era Mississippi. A record to make the band's die-hard fanbase think, as well as enjoy, and take them back to where the '1st Wave British R\u0026amp;B'ers' came in. Not just a jolly trip down memory lane, but something to put some perspective on the emerging road ahead, as well as view back down that road. \u003c\/p\u003e\\r\u003cbr\u003e\\r\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e It features a mix of source material; standards the band has featured in its set for years; some semi-contemporary compositions by unexpected, existing and established artists (but of a younger generation); original recordings penned by old friends and new finds. There is a connection across the 55-year time span between the start-up Pretties, and this newly emerging, acoustic and roots Pretty Things. \u003c\/p\u003e\\r\u003cbr\u003e\\r\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e Now in their mid-70's Phil May and Dick Taylor have re-invented themselves as who they really are \\u2013 now\\u2026 No longer the oldest, R\u0026amp;B swingers in town, they have hunkered down, into their age, their authority and their legacy, working to take forward what they know, and to pass that invaluable baton around, to let it fall into the right hands and the right ears.\u003c\/p\u003e\\r\u003cbr\u003e\\r\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e CD Digipack Edition\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCan't Be Satisfied ( 03:04 )\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCome Into My Kitchen ( 04:17 )\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAin't No Grave ( 03:58 )\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFaultline ( 04:22 )\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRedemption Day ( 05:22 )\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Devil Had A Hold Of Me ( 04:16 )\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBright As Blood ( 04:44 )\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLove In Vain ( 04:17 )\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBlack Girl ( 02:37 )\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTo Build A Wall ( 04:25 )\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAnother World ( 03:56 )\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eI'm Ready ( Bonus Track ) ( 03:43 )\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Chalkys.com","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55132291268993,"sku":"1202528","price":13.98,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0056\/8043\/1219\/files\/51GKK9GHaEL._SL1500_99c98da5-be1b-4bd6-8ad8-9f39b57ba84c.jpg?v=1766982509","url":"https:\/\/chalkys.com\/products\/1202528","provider":"Chalkys.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
