Former The Smiths frontman Morrissey recently decided to share some details about his upcoming covers album California Son. The 59-year-old singer shared a message on his official website in which he revealed that the record is produced by Joe Chiccarelli and will be released by BMG.
Morrissey also revealed the tracklist for the project, which will feature his takes on classics such as Joni Mitchell’s “Don’t Interrupt the Sorrow,” Bob Dylan – “Only a Pawn in Their Game” and Roy Orbison’s “It’s Over.” The release date, however, still remains unknown.
Until California Son finds its way to the record stores, Morrissey fans have an opportunity to enjoy in the deluxe edition of his 2017’s album Low in High School. The new version, out on December 7th, will include lots of exciting additions to the original collection including five live b-sides from the recording session and three previously unreleased tracks. It will also contain the cover of The Pretenders’ 1984 hit “Back On The Chain Gang,” that was presented back in September. Hear it below.
