With the Manic Street Preachers in the studio recording their eighth studio
album, James has produced his first solo album, entitled 'The Great Western'.
The ever-distinct voice of James Dean Bradfield emerges with a re-invigorated
writing confidence and a hugely anticipated debut solo album. Though James was
at the helm musically, the band's unique division of labour meant that nobody
has ever known much of what makes James Dean Bradfield the human being tick.
'The Great Western' is his belated statement of intent, a heroic pop-rock
memoir statement that combines the sweeping flourishes of 'Everything Must Go';
the airtight punk of 'The Holy Bible' and 'Generation Terrorists's wide-eyed
lust for life, and vacuum packs it all into 11 raw, unfussed and passionate
modern rock tracks.
The album reconnects with his Welsh identity for sure; coming to terms with and
moving on with the triumphs and tragedies of his past - yes; but while 'The
Great Western' is as grown-up and profound as that sounds, it's shot through
with the same primal zeal for melody, urge for power chords and lust for life
that have kept James Dean Bradfield at the summit of Britrock for 15 years.
