Pretty Rhymes and Perfect Crimes

Possibly the best British song-writer of our generation, but that might be a bold statement that many of you might scoff at. Babyshambles first album Down In Albion is one my favourite albums of all time and pretty much everything Pete Doherty creates sounds absolutely perfect to my ears. His latest work is no exception; with work on his first solo album complete, the first single has surfaced. Titled ‘Last of the English Roses’, it captures Doherty at his brilliant best, with his English accent giving the song a poetic charm and clearly displaying his ability to structure the perfect Brit-pop song. For fans of Babyshambles, the song is in the vain of ‘There She Goes’ or ‘The 32nd of December’.

The track comes from his upcoming début solo album Grace/Wastelands, which has a release date of March 24. Work on the album has been taking place for a while now, in between Babyshambles, and live solo gigs around London. Doherty’s hired help on the album includes former Blur member Graham Coxon, who plays on most of the tracks, Scottish singer Dot Allison, poet Peter Wolfe (who co-wrote and plays guitar on ‘Broken Love Song’) as well as Babyshambles members Mick Whitnall, Drew McConnell and Adam Ficek.

For me it’s one of my most anticipated albums of 2009 alongside Peter, Bjorn and John’s Inland Empire.
