This is a remaster of Kirwan's 1975 solo album. It says it's limited to only 2000 copies, includes the bonus track "Best Girl In The World", and comes in a "digi sleeve" ~ Repertoire distinguishes between digipaks and what they call digi sleeves, the latter being much closer to a mini-LP replica sleeve but not quite. (I think there's a little "button" for the CD to be snapped into on the inside of the sleeve.)



>> Danny Kirwan was the third guitar player to join British blues revivalists Fleetwood Mac in 1968, and he performed and wrote material for such hit albums as ‘Then Play On’ and ‘Kiln House’. Although regarded as Peter Green’s protege, he left the Mac due to stress related problems in 1972 and launched a solo career. ‘Second Chapter’ was his eagerly awaited debut, eventually released in 1975. Produced by Martin Rushent, the songs include several beautiful ballads such as ‘Cascades’ and ‘Silver Streams’. Danny is backed by Andy Sylvester (bass) and Paul Raymond (keyboards) from Chicken Shack, on a fascinating album full of musical subtlety. Limited to 2,000 copies. <<

BUMP with updated info ~ this release has been pushed back to September 7th.

Considering the quality of his Fleetwood Mac stuff, Kirwan's solo albums were a disappointment to me. I'm going to give them another listen or two and see if time has changed the way I feel.

I heard a rumour last year that he was starting to play guitar again, just kind of fooling about the way Peter Green did before his comebacks. I don't know if Kirwan will ever make new music, but I hope he's doing OK and can enjoy some of the fruits of his labours.
