***A psychedelic punk rock blues odyssey, created in collaboration with late Sex Pistols producer Dave Goodman*** "The Bermondsey Joyriders guitarist's solo debut .

Lammin has always been known first and foremost as a punk rocker. ary Guitar Lammin' may be about to put a spin on that impression though, which is fitting for an album whose lyrics grapple with notions of identity, duality and self-perception.

Set these philosophical musings to a free-flowing, shape-shifting blend of 60s psychedelia, progressive rock elements, and tripped out delta blues, and we will see you all on Alder Boran.

.Lammin's unexpected guide on this detour from more familiar paths was late, great producer Dave Goodman.

Goodman laid down a challenge; "Get out of your comfort zone man, try ANYTHING and then, then I will really produce you".

The bulk of the recording took place at Mandala between 2000 and 2003, a few years before Goodman's tragic death.

Shortly before his passing, the producer moved to Malta, with intentions of escaping the endless parade of colourful characters and chaotic parties which continually passed through Mandala Studios.

At the time of the recording though, this lively backdrop was still a rich source of inspiration, and not yet a dangerous distraction.

Much of the album's thoughtful, introspective lyrical content was derived from late night conversations between Lammin and Goodman, while further inspiration was drawn from the Mick Jagger film erformance', and its exploration of dual identities.

Musically, Lammin says the record was structured to recreate the arc of a psychedelic experience, with Goodman's contributions on sitar, tabla and Tibetan flute serving to complement Lammin's shimmering slide guitar parts and the overall trippy ambience.

Whilst the starting point and the overall sound are considerably different to Lammin's previous ventures, the spirit remains the same.

The spirit of the street.still in there kicking.even if it's drenched in mushroom tea.
