Manic Street Preachers singer James Dean Bradfield is set to release his debut solo album ’The Great Western’ on July 24.
It will be proceeded by a single ’That’s No Way To Tell A Lie’ on July 10.
“I just realised…I actually really enjoyed it a lot. Seeing ‘Words and Music by James Dean Bradfield’ written down actually made me feel happy. For once I’ve lost a bit of my insecurity,” the singer said.
The mostly-self played album was recorded in Wales, Berlin and London. Although he is busy with his own solo project, Manics bassist/lyricist Nicky Wire penned the lyrics for song ’Bad Boys And Painkillers’.
The album also contains a cover of Jacques Brel’s ’To See A Friend In Tears’.
The Welsh threesome are also busy at work on the follow up to 2004’s ’Lifeblood’.
