Bill Ryder-Jones To Release New Album

Former Coral guitarist Bill Ryder-Jones has announced he will release a new album this spring.

‘A Bad Wind Blows In My Heart’ will be issued on 8th April, and is the follow-up to 2012’s orchestral effort ‘If…’, described as an ‘grand imaginary soundtrack’ to the Italo Calvino novel ‘If On A Winters Night A Traveller’.

The album was recorded in Ryder-Jones’ old bedroom in Liverpool, with finished recordings produced and mixed with James Ford. Accompaniment comes from members of fellow Merseysiders, By The Sea.

Ryder-Jones left The Coral in January 2008, following the release of the band’s fourth studio album ‘Roots & Echoes’ .
