There are songs that will make you want to rock\u2019n\u2019roll, there are also songs from the heart, to make you laugh, love and cry, which is fitting, as the album is dedicated to the band\u2019s co-founder, and best friend, the legend that was Guy Bailey, rock n\u2019 roll personified!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, who did the Quireboys ask to step in on guitar for the new album and shows this year? Only a legend could grace the position of another legend, who else could they turn to, other than their great friend Luke Morley, who kindly agreed to help out while Thunder are on hiatus. Luke has also produced the new album.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Following the release of the \u2018Jeeze Louise\u2019 single earlier this year which saw the band back to their boozy bar room rock n\u2019 roll best, the Quireboys return with another taste from their new album in single \u2018Raining Whiskey\u2019, to be released June 21<sup>st<\/sup>, which features vocal contributions from Scottish singer and songwriting legend Frankie Miller alongside Spike.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cLet\u2019s cut to the chase, Frankie Miller is the singer\u2019s singer, and the songwriter\u2019s songwriter,\u201d explains Spike. \u201cJust ask Sir&nbsp;Rod Stewart, Willie Nelson, Elton John, Joe Walsh, the list is endless, even Ray Charles had a hit with one of his songs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI first met Frankie at the Brit awards in 1993, the year The Faces performed with Bill Wyman on bass,\u201d continues Spike. \u201cIt was both an honour, and a shock when Frankie came up to me and congratulated me on the Quireboys success, and as we got talking, we hit it off straight away.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In 2014 Spike released the album \u2018100% Pure Frankie Miller\u2019, a collection of Frankie\u2019s songs reimagined by Spike and mutual friends Luke Morley, Simon Kirke, Ian Hunter, Andy Fraser, Bonnie Tyler, Ronnie Wood, Mark Stanway, Tyla Pallas etc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThere were enough songs to last a lifetime and I put my heart and soul in to listening to them all. It was an incredible journey into how he wrote songs, and how a chorus could become a verse, then that chorus become a bridge into another melody under the same chords. How not to over sing, when to over sing, but most of all write from your heart, from the first person, but also how to write in the third person. So hard to explain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cAnd now, years later, going through the new songs I\u2019d written for the new Quireboys album \u2018Wardour Street\u2019, with Luke Morley, he asked whatever happened to the song \u2018Raining Whiskey\u2019. I told him I\u2019d never released it, and the recording was still sitting in Rockfield Studios. We got the tapes from our very good friend Nick Brine, who\u2019s mixed the new album, and we\u2019ve rerecorded it, in a rock n roll style we believe the Quireboys fans will love. Obviously the first person to hear the new version of \u2018Raining Whiskey\u2019 was Frankie Miller, he loves it, and urged us to release it as a single&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, it is my honour to present the new single by the Quireboys, featuring Frankie Miller. \u2018Raining Whiskey\u2019.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>QUIREBOYS TO RETURN WITH NEW ALBUM \u2018WARDOUR STREET\u2019 TO BE RELEASED SEPTEMBER 13th VIA CADIZ MUSIC NEW SINGLE \u2018RAINING WHISKEY\u2019 FEATURING FRANKIE MILLER OUT JUNE 21ST ORDER HERE: PRE ORDER THE ALBUM HERE: At the start of every show, even since the beginning, you\u2019ll hear frontman Spike proclaim, \u2018WE\u2019RE THE QUIREBOYS AND THIS IS ROCK\u2019N\u2019ROLL\u2019.
