{"product_id":"unknown-barefoot-with-angels-8717344729536","title":"Barefoot With Angels","description":"Barefoot With Angels is John Howard s seventh CD release since the reissue of his 1975 debut album Kid In A Big World in 2004. As such, it marks a departure for Howard as this is the first one he has recorded in his home studio. As he explains: \"Not being tied into an outside studio s availability meant I could record whenever I felt inspired, had an idea for a vocal harmony or backing arrangement. It gave me a wonderful sense of creative immediacy which I think you can hear in the tracks.\" There are 12 new Howard originals on the album, including the seven-plus minute long opus \"Magdalena Merrywidow\", a tribute to British sex change icon April Ashley in whose fashionable Knightsbridge restaurant John regularly performed in the mid-1970s; \"Who s Listening?\", dedicated to comedy film star Kenneth Williams - and inspired by Williams famous last diary entry What s the bloody point? ; and \"The Exquisites\", whose title was inspired by Oscar Wilde s description of the beautiful people he was surrounded by in his prime. \"The song tells of how Glam Rock came to pop music s rescue after The Beatles split up in 1970\" says John, \"and my own personal journey through that period.\" Barefoot With Angels is also John s first release on Spanish label Hanky Panky Records.","brand":"momoxbooks","offers":[{"title":"Used - good","offer_id":53269913567574,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0925\/5829\/5382\/files\/product_image_8717344729536_1_3a0d478d-4318-4627-adb7-e86765f68bb7.jpg?v=1781221072","url":"https:\/\/www.momoxbooks.com\/products\/unknown-barefoot-with-angels-8717344729536","provider":"momoxbooks","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
