Description
Johnny Marr's live album, Adrenalin Baby, released on 9 October 2015, is a vibrant showcase of his career-spanning artistry and the electric energy of his live performances. Recorded during his 2014-2015 Playland tour, the album captures Marr's dynamic stage presence and his ability to connect with audiences through his music.
The tracklist is a mix of songs from Marr's solo albums, The Messenger and Playland, alongside iconic tracks from his time with The Smiths and other collaborations. This blend of material highlights Marr's evolution as a musician and his enduring influence on the indie and alternative rock scenes. Songs like "Easy Money" and "Candidate" from his solo work sit comfortably alongside classics like "There Is a Light That Never Goes Out" and "How Soon Is Now?", showcasing his knack for crafting memorable melodies and intricate guitar work.
What stands out in Adrenalin Baby is the raw energy and passion that Marr brings to his live performances. The album's production captures the atmosphere of the venues, with the crowd's enthusiasm adding to the experience. Marr's guitar playing is as sharp and inventive as ever, and his vocals, while distinct from those of his former Smiths bandmate Morrissey, bring a fresh perspective to the classic tracks.
The inclusion of "Getting Away with It" from Marr's time with Electronic is a delightful nod to another chapter of his career, and it fits seamlessly into the setlist. Marr's ability to reinterpret his past work while staying true to its essence is a testament to his talent and respect for his musical legacy.
Adrenalin Baby is not just a live album; it's a celebration of Johnny Marr's journey as an artist. For fans of The Smiths, his solo work, or simply great guitar-driven music, this album is a must-listen. It serves as a reminder of Marr's contributions to music and his continued relevance in the industry. Whether you're a long-time admirer or new to his work, Adrenalin Baby is a thrilling listen that captures the spirit of one of the most influential guitarists of our time.
