Deacon Blue will release their 12th studio album, “The Great Western Road“, on the 21st March.
2025 marks 40 years since the formation of Deacon Blue and we’re told that “The Great Western Road” will reflect “the journey the band has taken” and be “honest to the age and experience” that the band share. Frontman Ricky Ross says the album is “the next part of the adventure” which remains “as exciting now as it was back in 1988”.
“The Great Western Road” sees Ross, and guitarist Gregor Philp, on production duties, having produced the band’s last studio album. The album was recorded by Matt Butler, who worked with the band on their classic debut album “Raintown”.
The 12-track album is available on vinyl, CD and cassette, although the cassette is an exclusive on the official Deacon Blue shop, which also has signed bundles. On vinyl, “The Great Western Road” is available in a number of coloured pressings including transparent blue and an official shop white marble pressing.
