The next taste of Morrissey‘s new covers album California Son is his take on Wedding Bell Blues featuring Green Day frontman Billie Joe Armstrong.
The 60s R&B cut will be backed by a brand new Morrissey tune entitled Brow Of My Beloved, recorded in Rome with producer Joe Chiccarelli, when it is released physically on May 10th as a 7” yellow vinyl. The album then follows on May 24th.
Morrissey’s boycott of Canada, meanwhile, will come to an end when he takes to the stage in Vancouver next week.
‘Brow of my Beloved’ was recorded in Rome and is produced by Joe Chiccarelli
