Bernie Tormé releases new triple album – Dublin Cowboy
‘Dublin
Cowboy’ is the new three-disc album from former Gillan guitar
legend,
Bernie Tormé, comprising an electric
disc, an acoustic disc and a
live
disc.
Bernie Tormé said:
“I always wanted to do a triple album and also an acoustic album, and combining
the two seemed like the obvious idea though truth is it nearly killed me: I’m
still in recovery! But on top of all that, and with two albums of screaming
wails and dive-bombs, I am totally knocked out with how the shred-free acoustic
album has been received! Fans who pledged and have heard it absolutely LOVE it!
Quadruple album next time? Nah, I really don’t think so!”
The
album was made following a phenomenally successful pledge-fund appeal that hit
its pledge target in less than nine hours. Containing twenty-nine tracks in
total across the three discs, the first two are made up of brand new material,
including title track ‘Dublin Cowboy, and the infectiously bluesy ‘Power Of The
Blues’ on the electric disc; as well as the rich unfolding tapestry of sounds
on ‘Shine’, and ‘Wolfgirl’ which both appear on the acoustic disc. The third
disc, recorded live in South Shields in January 2016, contains live versions of
classics that span Bernie Tormé’s career, including old favourites ‘Wild
West and ‘New Orleans’.
Fan
reaction from pledge-funders has been overwhelmingly positive:
“This
acoustic one cuts me to the core. Can’t stop listenin’…Love it!!” DP
“What
I’ve heard is sounding great, and Janus is just awesome!” PW
“Beyond
the obligatory 5 stars!” OBN
“My
favourite is the live one where it can be seen if an artist still has the
“beans”.
U
certainly do dude, u absolutely rocked it.” RS
and we at Rockgig.co.uk love it as well
To
tie in with the release of the album a there is a 2017 UK Tour next month and
the album will be formally launched at the Borderline, London on 7th April.
Bernie: “Got a bunch of rock ‘n’ roll pint-spillers from the new Dublin Cowboy
album that we will be rocking out live on the tour! I can’t wait, get ready
people, this one will be total killer!”
