“It’s an honor to work with someone as esteemed as Richard,” said Beka Tischker, Vice President of A&R at Razor & Tie. “Besides being one of the seminal figures of modern British rock music, his music has touched my life. It’s the icing on the cake in this business when you get to work with someone who soundtracked important parts of your life.”
In addition, it is being reported Richard Ashcroft is set to embark on his first US solo tour in six years sometime in 2011 in support of the new record.
