Song title: That's No Way to Tell a Lie
Artist: James Dean Bradfield
Year: 2006
Why I like this song:
I'm a big fan of the Manic Street Preachers. So when I heard James made a solo album I was intrigued: Did he have something of his own say? Could he produce something of his own without the aid of his bandmates? I was disappointed by Know Your Enemy and Lifeblood so could this work out?
Well the answers to all of the above questions is a resounding yes. Here, James sounds revitalised, being aware of his strengths and playing to them. He's rocking it up like there's no tomorrow and playing every song-writing trick he can think of (guitar solo, 'sha-la-las', synthesizer, handclaps).
Seems James had something to prove and he succeeded better than anyone could've hoped for.
