The Calton Songs

Neu-Versionen ihrer 14 größten Erfolge und Lieblingssongs  - Die Band feiert hiermit ihre über 30-jährige Karriere  - Inkl. der brandneuen Single ‘Backstreet Brothers

Mit ihrer Coverversion von ‘Word Up‘ hat die schottische Band 1994 einen Welthit gelandet, der noch heute im Radio rauf und runter läuft. Während der Pandemie hatten die
Brüder Jools und Dante Gizzi die Idee, ihre Lieblingstracks im semiakustischen Gewand einzuspielen, um die Essenz der Songs mal anders herauszuarbeiten. Inkl. Versionen
ihrer ersten Single ‘Better Days‘, ‘Taking On The World‘ aus dem gleichnamigen Debütalbum, ‘Don’t Say It’s Over‘ und natürlich ‘Word Up‘.

Welcome to The Calton. 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.

The Calton Songs is a fourteen-track celebration of GUN’s classic hits and favourites – semi-acoustic versions of what appeared through the years as full-on rock tracks. This CD edition comes signed by the band. The album is also available on double red vinyl, cassette and digital formats.

The songs feature all the current band’s line-up plus some amazing backing singing from Beverley Skeete and The Sisterhood, giving a gospel slant and an original spin to these rock classics.

Barring Word Up, the other thirteen songs were inspired by the sights and sounds of The Calton.
Recorded initially by Dante in the spare bedroom, the songs were completed after the lockdown situation ended in January 2022 in Glasgow’s Morsecode studios.
