{"product_id":"bernard-butler-good-grief-lp","title":"Bernard Butler - Good Grief (LP)","description":"\u003ch1\u003e'Good Grief' finds Bernard Butler owning three decades of work, free to perform, bookended by contrasting experiences of loss, joy, and bewilderment. \u003c\/h1\u003e \u003cp\u003e'Good Grief' is the first new solo album in 25 years from songwriter and producer Bernard Butler. Between then and now, Butler had ventured into the world of pop songwriting and producing, including two seminal albums with folk musician Sam Lee, a Mercury nominated project with actor Jessie Buckley as well as working with Bert Jansch and Ben Watt From Everything But The Girl, The Libertines, Tricky and an eight-million selling, Grammy-winning record with Duffy.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOf returning to solo work after two and a half decades, Butler says 'For a good while I was scarred and I was scared. I was happily distracted and joyously involved with so much music. I realised just being there was more than I had ever hoped for. I gave a lot to other people, but realised that my story was defined but what I was, rather than what I am. I set myself a modest commercial goal, an expectant creative one: perform to 10 people without being bottled, then find 11 the next night. Thus began the undoing of my own embarrassment. I would write as I thought and sing as I wrote until the bottles fly. And so, the songs arrived.'\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eRound circle shows with friends Norman Blake and James Grant across Scotland gave Butler the taste for venturing back out on stage, and while writing with Jessie Buckley for the Mercury Prize nominated For All Our Days That Tear the Heart album, Bernard tucked away his own discoveries and continued the journey once Buckley returned to the silver screen. Confronting his own songwriting process, he wrote words down, away from the security of his guitar, before carving music around the lines. \u003c\/p\u003e    \u003ch2\u003eTrack Listing\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cul\u003e        \u003cli\u003eCamber Sands\u003c\/li\u003e                  \u003cli\u003eDeep Emotions\u003c\/li\u003e                  \u003cli\u003eLiving the Dream\u003c\/li\u003e                  \u003cli\u003ePreaching to the Choir\u003c\/li\u003e                  \u003cli\u003ePretty D\u003c\/li\u003e                  \u003cli\u003eThe Forty Foot\u003c\/li\u003e                  \u003cli\u003eLondon Snow\u003c\/li\u003e                  \u003cli\u003eClean\u003c\/li\u003e                  \u003cli\u003eThe Wind\u003c\/li\u003e          \u003c\/ul\u003e  \u003ch2\u003eAdditional Details\u003c\/h2\u003e  \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLabel:\u003c\/strong\u003e 355 Recordings\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGenre:\u003c\/strong\u003e Pop\/Rock\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRun Time:\u003c\/strong\u003e 35 mins\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRegion:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0       \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRelease Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e 08\/16\/24\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUPC:\u003c\/strong\u003e 5053760114475\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"REPUBLICOF","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44974897168633,"sku":"355REC1LP","price":28.1,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0815\/4889\/files\/355REC1LP_5cc07e50-489e-4c46-b71f-56a67f608eb9.jpg?v=1721429003","url":"https:\/\/mvdshop.com\/products\/bernard-butler-good-grief-lp","provider":"MVD Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
