Technical discussion about recording vocals.
Not checked for Morrissey mentions.
Mentions confirmed below.
FWD.

For the next two weeks we're celebrating the guitarists that make Morrissey the artist he was. First up is the great Alain Whyte! Alain was brought on in 91 to simply mime behind Moz in a video, but once they realized how much they had in common musically, he stuck around for the next several years, not to mention he co-wrote many of his best songs like "Alma Matters", "Glamorous Glue" and "Billy Budd" to name only a few. Though he's been out of the Moz orbit for a while, his impact is still felt today and he's taking this on the road. In addition to focusing more on a solo career now, he's also opening some shows for Modern English starting this week! Alain chooses to keep it positive, but you'll learn a lot about the writing process and his love for music is infectious (there are many tangents). Enjoy!

Alain Whyte, Moz's most prolific songwriter, appears on the latest episode of the 'Morrissey and Wine' podcast - out today. He reveals that the as-yet-unheard album 'Without Music The World Dies' has a 70s sound, 'Suspicious Minds' on the track listing is indeed a cover, which he says sounds great, and he tells us that Notre-Dame had extra lyrics which were cut out - plus plenty of other tidbits and stories.

We've also got Nanny Val back to react to 'The Operation', the ten-question trivia quiz returns and hosts Chris and George dissect the lyrics of one of Alain's tracks - 'Life is a Pigsty' from 'Ringleader of the Tormentors'.

Cheers everyone!

The latest episode of the Morrissey and Wine podcast features an interview with Boz Boorer. He talks to Chris and George about Moz's "abysmal" treatment in the media, shares the songwriting process and reminisces about his on-stage drag persona Gaynor Tension, all while enjoying a crisp Portuguese beer. He also gives us an insight into his new album, Morrissey Reimagined, which is available now on Bandcamp.

George's grandma Nanny Val makes a return, this time reacting to 'Spent The Day In Bed', the trivia quiz is back and we analyse the lyrics of three songs where Boz has played an important role: 'Oboe Concerto', 'Speedway' and 'Rebels Without Applause'.

For the first time, you can now watch Morrissey and Wine on YouTube. But if you prefer your podcasts the old-fashioned way, we're still on Apple, Spotify and all major platforms.

Carmen mentioning some new information?
Joe Chiccarelli at the helm?

The ’board she had with her for the interview was set up for her work with Morrissey, with whom she is recording an album.
“With Morrissey, I’m using a CV30 and a Supro. I used a lot of Supro on the Bones UK record.

There is also that solo album in progress: “Coming out in a few years, or whenever I’m ready.” And while working with Morrissey, she’s filling the giant shoes of not only Johnny Marr but also Morrissey alumni Jesse Tobias...
