It’s a moving farewell - a testament to a restless, uncompromising artist who always moved forward, one of rock’s great lyricists and iconoclasts.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eRecorded in late 2018 at Church Street Studios in Sydney, Bailey and longtime Saints drummer Pete Wilkinson flew in from Europe to reunite with guitarist\/engineer Sean Carey, who had previously toured and recorded with the band. They were joined by Davey Lane (You Am I) on guitar, plus a handpicked ensemble of Sydney’s most exciting young horn, string and keyboard players. From Bailey’s rough demos, Long March Through the Jazz Age grew into a deeply human snapshot of modern times.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEmpires (Sometimes We Fall) is the album’s anthemic opener, cast on a bedrock of western guitars punctuated by Bailey’s aching lyrics: “Sometimes we rise, sometimes we fall”. It’s the perfect set up for an album that swaggers with Bailey’s inherent punk spirit while flowing freely in a spacious production. A 12-string adds harmony and warmth to the string-laden Judas, it is a glorious melancholic piece, Gasoline smacks of the Stones country honking for Exile On Main Street, while Bruises is a candid recollection of how this celebrated troubadour got to where he did.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThere are moments of Dylan-esque majesty as chiming guitars and strings widen the panoramic scale, while the title track carries a haunting, poetic intensity, its mournful trumpet break as spine-tingling as anything you'll hear. Long March Through the Jazz Age marks the end of Chris Bailey and The Saints’ remarkable journey - over four decades of music making and rule defying.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTracklisting:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eA1 Empires (Sometimes We Fall)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eA2 Break Away\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eA3 Judas\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eA4 Vikings\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eA5 Bruises\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eB1 Gasoline\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eB2 The Key\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eB3 Resurrection Day\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eB4 Carnivore (Long March Through the Jazz Age)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eB5 Will You Still Be There\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Recordstore","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49976468504818,"sku":"FIRELP809","price":8.7,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0850\/1621\/5794\/files\/Saints_-_Long_March_Through_The_Jazz_Age_LP_render_BLUE.png?v=1787643714","url":"https:\/\/recordstero.shop\/products\/long-march-through-the-jazz-age-blue-vinyl-lp","provider":"recordstero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
