It’s a moving farewell - a testament to a restless, uncompromising artist who always moved forward, one of rock’s great lyricists and iconoclasts.\u003cbr\u003eRecorded in late 2018 at Church Street Studios in Sydney, Bailey and longtime Saints drummer Pete Wilkinson flew in from Europe to reunite with guitarist\/engineer Sean Carey, who had previously toured and recorded with the band. They were joined by Davey Lane (You Am I) on guitar, plus a handpicked ensemble of Sydney’s most exciting young horn, string and keyboard players. From Bailey’s rough demos, Long March Through the Jazz Age grew into a deeply human snapshot of modern times.\u003cbr\u003eEmpires (Sometimes We Fall) is the album’s anthemic opener, cast on a bedrock of western guitars punctuated by Bailey’s aching lyrics: “Sometimes we rise, sometimes we fall”. It’s the perfect set up for an album that swaggers with Bailey’s inherent punk spirit while flowing freely in a spacious production. A 12-string adds harmony and warmth to the string-laden Judas, it is a glorious melancholic piece, Gasoline smacks of the Stones country honking for Exile On Main Street, while Bruises is a candid recollection of how this celebrated troubadour got to where he did.\u003cbr\u003eThere are moments of Dylan-esque majesty as chiming guitars and strings widen the panoramic scale, while the title track carries a haunting, poetic intensity, its mournful trumpet break as spine-tingling as anything you'll hear. Long March Through the Jazz Age marks the end of Chris Bailey and The Saints’ remarkable journey - over four decades of music making and rule defying.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTRACKLISTING\u003cbr\u003eA1 Empires (Sometimes We Fall)\u003cbr\u003eA2 Break Away\u003cbr\u003eA3 Judas\u003cbr\u003eA4 Vikings\u003cbr\u003eA5 Bruises\u003cbr\u003eB1 Gasoline\u003cbr\u003eB2 The Key\u003cbr\u003eB3 Resurrection Day\u003cbr\u003eB4 Carnivore (Long March Through the Jazz Age)\u003cbr\u003eB5 Will You Still Be There\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"FIRE RECORDS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45492206502044,"sku":"FIRECD809","price":15.18,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0130\/8714\/6043\/files\/Saints-LongMarchThroughtheJazzAge_56a38670-bbc2-43e5-a1bc-7ce7caaca32e.jpg?v=1761930713","url":"https:\/\/www.horizonsmusic.co.uk\/products\/the-saints-long-march-through-the-jazz-age-cd","provider":"Horizons Music","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
