Tooth & Nail Special DELUXE Edition – CV release

£12.99

TOOTH & NAIL COOKCD580X Deluxe CD/DVD

Tooth & Nail is an album on which Billy does what he does best – creating a tension between the struggle to change the world and the struggle to maintain relationships with those who we love the most. Returning to the rootsy sound of the Mermaid Avenue sessions and recorded in just five days in the basement of legendary producer Joe Henry’s house in South Pasadena, Billy’s voice has never sounded better. The overall effect is an album that Mojo magazine described as, “…his best yet”.

TOOTH & NAIL – COOKCD580X Deluxe CD/DVD

Tooth & Nail is an album on which Billy does what he does best – creating a tension between the struggle to change the world and the struggle to maintain relationships with those who we love the most. Returning to the rootsy sound of the Mermaid Avenue sessions and recorded in just five days in the basement of legendary producer Joe Henry’s house in South Pasadena, Billy’s voice has never sounded better. The overall effect is an album that Mojo magazine described as, “…his best yet”.

So that’s the music, what’s in the package I hear you ask?

Well, firstly, in the interests of transparency, I can’t actually hear you ask that, I just guessed. But, if you HAD asked I’d say, plenty my friend, plenty.

Let me take you through the luxuriously appointed limited edition item before you. A hard backed ‘book’ in which the touchy-feely smooth matt laminated outer cover. The well appointed glossy detailing leads onto a spacious interior decorated in the style of a dilapidated 1950’s bordello with distressed wallpaper. On the way in, on your left you will see the CD containing all those wonderful songs I mentioned. As we move into the heart of the pack you pass through the lyrics, each thoughtfully decorated with appropriate imagery. As you leave, you enter the area entertainingly called ‘For Q’ section, a selection of Billy’s articles for Q magazine, each a delight to behold. Follow me into the exclusive nook of the book, a portfolio of photos, taken by Billy, of the basement where it all happened. Sympathetically laid out and only available in this property…err album. So, as we move out into the rear area of the package I must bring this feature to your attention, on your right a DVD containing 10 of Billy’s promo videos from Levi Stubbs’ Tears to Take Down The Union Jack. A magnificent thing when viewed all together I think you must agree.

So, do you want one or what?
