September good month. Wish it wasn’t 3 months away lol

 

Oh Hell Yes!

 

"Pearls" is amazing, wow. Co-written with Nick Long who also co-wrote a couple of my favorites on the new Yellowcard album.

 

3 for 3 so far

album is shaping up to to be something special

 

Featuring Brandon Flowers???

 

The big sleep = murder by death cover? Lol

Excited for this!

 

Featuring Lori McKenna AND Donovan Woods, two of my 10 or so favorite songwriters on the planet.

 

PHIL COLLEN wow this thing is going to have some 80's rock vibes and I'm here for it

 

Ridiculous features list, holy shit

 

Butch produced the whole album?

 

Losing my mind over the flowers feature

 

Look, I may be totally crazy here but......isn't the concept (which I mentioned in the other thread) of a tour with Flowers somewhat viable? Here is my reasoning of why I think this COULD be the case:

1) Albums likely coming out around the same time

2) Flowers guest spot on Fallon album

3) Most importantly - Fallon not announcing his tour dates today with the album announcement - clearly holding off on that for a reason.......and "waiting for Flowers to announce his album" could absolutely in theory be that reason.

4) Flowers, while a huge star, last time he toured played smaller venues, not that much bigger than what Fallon typically would play

I just think a co-headline tour makes a ton of sense.

I'm sure I'm wrong but like........I might not be?

 

I'm gonna have to be careful not to overplay these 3 before the rest of the album come out

 

I'm not even going to listen to this one. I'm holding off

 

I am considering deleting them from my library for a couple months.

 

if I had this type of iron discipline I wouldn't be 30 lbs overweight

 

For those of not listening - is it a rock song / in line with the 2 previous released? Or what does it sound like. THX

 

Ballad for sure - closer to "Steve McQueen" or something on Local Honey.

 

Love all three! So excited

 

Also rough trade has a cool vinyl variant for those interested! https://www.roughtrade.com/en-us/product/brian-fallon/not-bad-for-new-jersey

 

Pre-ordered the blue

 

Pearls is top tier Fallon. Might be by favorite non Gaslight thing he has done since The Horrible Crowes.

 

Pearls is a direct hit to the feelings bone lol

 

It's very very good. Excited to listen to it again whenever i get off these back-to-back-to-back meetings
