GUN – The Calton Songs (2022)
”The Calton Songs” is a fourteen-track celebration of GUN’s classic hits and favorites – electric-acoustic versions of what appeared through the years as full-on rock tracks. The Calton District in Glasgow’s East End has always been home to Jools and Dante from GUN. In their parents’ spare bedroom just a stone’s throw from Glasgow’s famous Barrowland Ballroom, the boys fashioned their songwriting skills alongside former GUN lead singer Mark Rankin.
This newly recorded music feature all the current band’s line-up plus some amazing backing singing from Beverley Skeete and The Sisterhood [Noel Gallagher, Mick Jagger], giving an original spin to these GUN rock classics.
As example, the catchy track ‘Word Up’ was originally covered by GUN in 1994, winning an MTV Europe Music Award for Best Cover and featuring on the Top 5 album ‘Swagger’. The song itself is of course a retooled version of the evergreen Cameo hit from 1986, but now in 2022 it has been re-imagined and revived and sounds amazing.
