Gilbert O’Sullivan has re-recorded his classics (plus added a new song) for the new album ‘Songbook’.
Watch the Gilbert O’Sullivan Noise11 interview:
The ‘Songbook’ album also features a new song ‘A Kiss Is A Kiss’.
The idea for ‘Songbook’ came from a duet Tim Burgess of The Charlatans did with Gilbert in 2022. Burgess suggested the different version with guitarist Bill Shanley. Gilbert then selected a dozen songs to record.
Songs for ‘Songbook’ date back to early Gilbert like ‘Nothing Rhymed’ and ‘Alone Again ( Naturally)’ through to the more recent ‘Dansette Dreasm (2018) and ‘Blue Anchor Bay’ (2022).
