Product Description
This album is a solo work that fuses Ginger's unique songwriting sense with country, folk, and roots rock, exemplified by Steve Earle, Maria McKee, Tom Waits, and Richard Thompson. "While I'm devoted to country music, I can't hide the fact that my accent is influenced by Bobby Thompson rather than Willie Nelson, and at the same time, every corner of the lyrics is spun from the heart, expressing the truth more than any story I've told before." "It's something that's been in my blood since I was a little kid, and I'm honored to finally be able to share it with everyone. The songs mainly deal with mental illness, especially depression, which is traditionally taboo, and I've always suffered from it throughout my life. In recent years, since being freed from treatment, creating music has become therapy and solace for me. I find salvation in the music, and I would be happy if I could offer everyone a similar experience. The words spoken throughout are natural and have a strong confessional tone, but I think this frank approach makes a stronger impression on the lyrics than on a traditional rock album," says Ginger. In this work, he openly expresses his personal side, and it is a heartwarming solo work that shows another side of Ginger?"calm and gentle"?which is the flip side of the "intensity and roughness" he shows in The Wildhearts and other projects. The Japanese edition includes 13 tracks in total, including 3 bonus tracks. From February, he is scheduled to tour with The Levelers in the UK and perform at an event organized by Frank Turner, and in the spring, he is scheduled to perform in Japan with his new album.
