Not so much a solo album as a Camdem supergroup really then...

A big Libertines fan as the name would suggest but a little disillusioned with recent Babyshambles offerings, this album will either silent the doubters and prove genuine song-writing talent or will leave us clinging to up the bracket in order remind us of why Pete is revered in the manner he is. ('Freewheelin Pete Doherty is a little to much expectation NME so lets just wait and see)

No Ballard of Grimaldi; shame, that song alone, recorded properly with a sober - on form - Peter, would have been better musically than any contribution he's made one the last 3 records (2 Shambles, & 'The Libertines'). Still, I'll wait until I hear it to decide whether it really does miss that song.
