New album: Overend Watts

New album: Overend Watts
Ross-on-Wye's Overend Watts, who died earlier this year, was a bass player, record producer, songwriter, author and founder member of Mott the Hoople, and the driving force behind the reunion shows of 2009 and 2013.
Ìý
Before his death, following a long illness, he finally completed the solo album he'd been promising to deliver to his legion of fans for the past decade.
Ìý
'He's Real Gone' was originally called 'She's Real Gone', after track 1, but decided it would be funnier to release the work posthumously and to rename the album.
Ìý
All songs, apart from the final track, were recorded in Herefordshire. That song is Overend's original demo of the song Born Late 58 which he sang on Mott The Hoople's final album in 1974.
