Welcome to the world of Ginger. One of the UK’s most prolific and best loved rock artists. Vocalist, guitarist, songwriter, lyricist, story teller and story maker, Ginger is eclecticism personified. Whether it’s producing some of the best loved British hard rock music with the institution that is Wildhearts, touring with the Scorchers (Jason Ringenberger’s band) as Ginger and The Scorchers or solo albums such as 2007’s critically acclaimed “Yoni” or original stints in the Quireboys and The Throbs, Ginger is a unique
UK artist to treasure… Ginger is set to add to the legend with the imminent release of new solo album “market Harbour”. Impossible again to categorise the album is 21 songs/segues/bits and sixty minutes and twenty four seconds long. With no break in the music throughout the album, and packed with a weird and wonderful array of samples and loops in addition to instrumentation, the record is a showcase for the diverse talent of Ginger. ,From the classic Ginger-esque opener and first single “Casino Bay” (a mid tempo stormer awash with hooks) to country n western meets “Hats Off To Roy Harper”-esque skiffle instrumental “The Ninns Of Mourning”, from the Roger Waters infused “House Of Moths” to the punked up three minute blast of “Overeasy”, from the Burt Bacharach lilt of 67 second instrumental “Tenants” to the beautiful soaring instrumentation and melodies of “I Knew You (An Amensis)”, from the do-wop pop of “Couple Trouble” to the rolling toms of instrumental “Eye Of The Rotunda” and the slow build epic album closer “Shatterproof” with it’s haunting refrain of “How Can You Kill Something / That Will Not Die”, “Market Harbour” is a wildly ambitious album that only someone of Gingers creative talents could pull off as successfully as he does.
The albums was played and produced in it’s entirety by Ginger. Ginger is also set to release a double a sided single “
Casino
Bay /
Holiday”. “
Casino
Bay” is taken from “
Market
Harbour” “
Holiday” from previous solo album “Yoni”. The single will also feature an exclusive track “How Legends Love”
The legend just got bigger…don’t miss out Ginger tours with The Wildhearts in December 2007. The “Casino
Bay /
Holiday” double a-sided single is released through Cargo Records on the 24th December 2007. The album “
Market
Harbour” follows on the 25th February 2008. www.myspace.com/silverginger www.gingerandthesoniccircus.net
