Tim Burgess from Charlatans U.K. has announced details about his upcoming solo record Oh No I Love You (cover art posted above). The album features ten tracks including the new song, "The Doors Of Then," which was recorded in Nashville last year and features lyrics by Lambchop's Kurt Wagner. Burgess reveals how the collaboration came about:
The root of this album goes right back to a Kurt Wagner show in Manchester. It was the quietest yet the most powerful live performance I had ever seen and afterwards I carried Kurt's guitar to the car for him. I took the chance to ask him if he would ever consider writing a song with me. "Sure Tim, you write the music and I'll write the words." That one song turned into an album and almost ten years after we first talked about it, the album is ready and it's called Oh No I Love You
