As if releasing half a dozen albums in the last few months with his latest project The William Loveday Intention (and suffering a debilitating Covid infection) wasn't enough, Steven John Hamper (aka Wild Billy Childish) is back with a new album in collaboration with CTMF. It's titled Where The Wild Purple Iris Grows and it's the first CTMF album since 2019's Last Punk Standing (a track from which featured here : https://justsomepunksongs.blogspot.com/2019/07/wild-billy-childish-ctmf-some-unknown_24.html).
The album's available from Damaged Goods Records on vinyl & cd and you can get it here : https://damagedgoods.greedbag.com/buy/where-the-wild-purple-iris-grows/
Returning to territory closer to his garage roots as opposed to the recent folk and Bob Dylan inspired work, the album seems to be going down very well with fans, I've been listening to it on Youtube (https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=OLAK5uy_kNIwI-rJ9roGY5ktSC7XTIwin-x5bZTpk) and I won't argue with them.
This is the title track, it's "about a river on the fens long ago. The last of the traditional eel catchers, and the wild iris growing on the fenland banks." It's called Where The Wild Purple Iris Grows...
