Various Artists - The Great Western (CD)

Debut solo album from the Manic Street Preachers frontman sees him emerge with a re-invigorated writing confidence, whilst capturing the breath of life so readily attached to the Manics finest moments, each song is characterised by choruses with G Forces, lyrics of genuine poignancy & classic playing; including the single 'That's No Way To Tell A Lie' plus the Nicky Wire co-written 'Bad Boys And Painkillers' & a cover version of the Jacques Brel hit 'To See A Friend In Tears'. Sony. 2006.
