Come Back To Cavan

Guest
From MORRISSEY
Live at Earls Court
Attack/Sanctuary
****

Morrissey was without a record deal between 1997's Maladjusted and last year's You Are the Quarry. Those lost seven years were spent touring without record company support and surviving by dint of his come-hell-or-high-water fanbase. The gigging has paid off on this live release. His bequiffed band are as tight as a tourniquet, particularly on the Quarry material. Now relaxed enough with his legacy to move effortlessly between Smiths and solo songs, this album begins with the quintessential How Soon Is Now, takes in some rarities along the way - Don't Make fun of Daddy's Voice and Munich Air Disaster 1958 ("We mourn for them, unlucky boys of red, I wish I'd gone down with them") and ends with the towering Last Night I Dreamed That Somebody Loved Me. - Brian Boyd
