Johnny Marr records tracks with
Oasis star
Former Smiths guitarist Johnny Marr has recorded an album's
worth of material with Liam Gallagher.
The pair raided Gallagher's back catalogue for tracks.
They were all recorded within a week.
Marr told Manchester magazine City Life: "It was just Liam
getting a chance to record nine or ten of his massive back
catalogue of songs.
"I'd heard the songs so much through hanging around houses
and dressing rooms that I could almost walk down the road and
hear the entire record in my mind. Liam just wanted to get the
songs down but it ended up sounding like an entire record. To
all intents and purposes, we made an album in seven days."
It isn't yet clear if any of the tracks will be released by Oasis, as
solo material, or as a side project.
