Description
2025 marks 40 years since Ricky Ross met Dougie Vipond and they started to form Deacon Blue, the songs on 'The Great Western Road' reflect the journey the band has taken and remain honest to the age and experience they all share. Ricky Ross: "It's just the next part of the adventure and it's as exciting now as it was back in 1988". The joyous lead single 'Late '88' fondly remembers the care-free excitement of those early days.
'The Great Western Road' was recorded at the legendary Rockfield Studios, Ricky Ross and (Deacon Blue guitarist and long term collaborator) Gregor Philp return to production duties, having last produced the bands' Top 5 charting and their last full length album, 2020's 'City Of Love'. This album was recorded by Matt Butler, who first worked with the band on their debut, 'Raintown'.
