Features Michael Des Barres "Carnaby Street" and "I'm Only Human".
Carnaby Street - This album may quote from the idioms laid down by Wilson Pickett, Zoot Money and The Rolling Stones, but it is no exercise in retro-stylings. This is very much a piece of the second decade of the 21st century. It may even be Michael Des Barres’s most important work to date. The opening line of the title track immediately sets the tone of the album.:“I was 19 in 1967, on the streets of London. I was in Heaven. I was Oscar Wilde in velvet jeans. Everything you've heard is everything I've seen.” He is adamant that this is not an homage to mid-sixties music, but a contemporary album by a contemporary band presenting songs about that particular time in his life: a time when as a teenager just entering manhood, the world as a whole was celebrating ‘The Summer of Love’.
I'm Only Human - We are overjoyed to be bringing you a re-issue of MDB's debut solo album from way back in 1980; recorded when Michael was a very different fellow to the healthy, happy man he is today.
