{"product_id":"johnson-robb-the-irregulars-pandemic-songs-cd","title":"Johnson, Robb \u0026 the Irregulars - Pandemic Songs (CD) |","description":"Pandemic Songs is songwriter Robb Johnson’s chronicle in song of the unprecedented events of the first half of 2020. His critically-acclaimed family histories of the 20th Century Gentle Men \u0026amp; Ordinary Giants use song to dramatise past lives \u0026amp; narrate significant historical events \u0026amp; processes. Pandemic Songs uses songs to provide a media-free perspective of contemporary history, with thirteen tracks written between March \u0026amp; June of this year, that record \u0026amp; comment on the global pandemic, from Robb’s local UK perspective. The songs are angry, sad, affectionate, elegiac, satirical, anxious, \u0026amp; compassionate. They celebrate our lives in lockdown \u0026amp; the endurance of our keyworkers, \u0026amp; catalogue the vanities, incompetence, hypocrisy \u0026amp; failures of those in power. Pandemic Songs was recorded with a socially-distanced pared-down version of The Irregulars; John Forrester on bass \u0026amp; vocals, Arvin Johnson on drums, percussion \u0026amp; Spanish guitar, \u0026amp; Fae Simon on vocals. The result is a powerful, visceral album, a significant creative response to these very significant times. Robb Johnson is now widely recognised as one of the UK’s finest songwriters: “An English original”, - The Guardian...","brand":"Johnson, Robb \u0026 the Irregulars","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45066136879219,"sku":"F2CBXF-MJMD-XV","price":14.9,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0500\/7837\/files\/pandemic-songs-cd_yIi3I.jpg?v=1780511440","url":"https:\/\/www.lovevinylrecords.com\/products\/johnson-robb-the-irregulars-pandemic-songs-cd","provider":"Love Vinyl Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
