Jim Bob: Thanks For Reaching Out, 2CD Edition
Jim Bob: Thanks For Reaching Out, 2CD Edition
• It’s Jim Bob’s 12th solo studio album, a stone cold masterpiece.
• Featuring 38 minutes of pop, punk rock and devastatingly moving ballads.
• With a second disc ‘This is My Mixtape’, a collection of cover versions recorded especially for the album.
More topical than an episode of Newsnight, with songs about Putin (‘The Day of Reckoning’), the Taliban (‘This Is End Times’), and whoever ‘Billionaire in Space’ is about. It’s not all doom and gloom though (it’s mostly doom and gloom). ‘Sebastian’s Gone On A Ridelaong’ is a hilarious psychobilly romp and the pre-coronation written ‘Prince of Wales’ is like a pub lock-in, it’s Bowie’s ‘Kooks’ for older people.
