{"product_id":"johnson-robb-the-irregulars-pandemic-songs-cd","title":"Johnson, Robb \u0026 the Irregulars - Pandemic Songs (CD) |-","description":"Pandemic Songs is songwriter Robb Johnson’s chronicle in song of the unprecedented events of the first half of 2020. His critically-acclaimed family histories of the 20th Century Gentle Men \u0026amp; Ordinary Giants use song to dramatise past lives \u0026amp; narrate significant historical events \u0026amp; processes. Pandemic Songs uses songs to provide a media-free perspective of contemporary history, with thirteen tracks written between March \u0026amp; June of this year, that record \u0026amp; comment on the global pandemic, from Robb’s local UK perspective. The songs are angry, sad, affectionate, elegiac, satirical, anxious, \u0026amp; compassionate. They celebrate our lives in lockdown \u0026amp; the endurance of our keyworkers, \u0026amp; catalogue the vanities, incompetence, hypocrisy \u0026amp; failures of those in power. Pandemic Songs was recorded with a socially-distanced pared-down version of The Irregulars; John Forrester on bass \u0026amp; vocals, Arvin Johnson on drums, percussion \u0026amp; Spanish guitar, \u0026amp; Fae Simon on vocals. The result is a powerful, visceral album, a significant creative response to these very significant times. Robb Johnson is now widely recognised as one of the UK’s finest songwriters: “An English original”, - The Guardian...\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFormat Detail: CD Packaging will be a gatefold card wallet \u0026amp; will include 16 page lyric booklet.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFormat: CD\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLabel: Irregular Records\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCatalog Number: CD-IRR-114\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Johnson, Robb \u0026 the Irregulars","offers":[{"title":"- ROCK *NEW*","offer_id":54580871299409,"sku":"F2CBXF-MJMD-XV","price":14.9,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1030\/9297\/8001\/files\/rock-new_9aXjk.jpg?v=1786781105","url":"https:\/\/ilovevinylrecords.com\/products\/johnson-robb-the-irregulars-pandemic-songs-cd","provider":"I Love Music","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
