I agree he has a beautiful voice. If it's Alex R he just improved a ton hahaha. But I doubt it.

Well guys it's look like we've got a covers album for ourselves

very nice indeed!

is there a US iTunes weblink, as I can only find a UK one at http://itunes.apple.com/gb/preorder/itunes-session/id468122105

(I know it opens in the 'store', but I really need a URL)

I found it on the US store, but can only listen to the preview of State of Love & Trust. No idea how to figure out the US link?

I spoke to Brian in Manchester and when discussing the new album I asked if Biloxi would be on it. He said he thinks it will yes and that its not actually about Bilxi Parish in Louisiana but when they were passing through he hadn't been home in 6 months and just wanted to get back and thats what the songs about.

I know this is obvious from the lyrics but still it was nice to hear him chat about it. he usually likes us to make our own minds up about what songs mean.

Also The only time I think Ive ever not liked a Gaslight/ Brian song is when they played House of The Rising Sun on some radio show. The video is on You Tube. I really thought it was a bad performance but this sounds better anyway

but this version 'blues rocks'

it was one of the first songs I played on the guitar and still love the main chord sequence

I'm really looking forward to this

Those previews sound awesome!

Woohoo! This is so exciting! Thanks for posting the tracklist! It's going to be really hard to wait another two months for this album. I just preordered it and listened to "State of Love and Trust" which was fantastic, of course. For those of you who have heard clips of each song, how did you do that? US iTunes only has a preview of SOLAT.

Thanks for the update

Cool, thanks. Unfortunately I have to go to work now, so I'll check on that later. Don't you hate it when responsibilities get in the way like that?

This will tide us over nicely until next autumn

US link, for those who want to preorder and such. You get an instant download of State of Love and Trust when you do.

I have a feeling that's Ian. Definitely not Alex IMO and it sounds like there's a third guitar on the song anyway.

Listen to State of Love and Trust here
