Redemption’s Son 15th Anniversary

On 23 June, Real World Records will re-issue Joseph Arthur's third album 'Redemption's Son' to celebrate it's 15th anniversary.

The anniversary edition will contain the original album (with its original artwork) along with nine bonus tracks all of which have been previously unreleased. The track ‘Ghost’ is available to stream and download from today.

Redemption’s Son 15th Anniversary Edition will be available on 180-gram double LP, double CD, and digitally. It will be the first time the album has been available on vinyl.

The nine previously unreleased songs now form a “lost album” which Arthur has named Morning Star.

 

"We decided to turn these tracks into their own album called 'Morning Star' rather than a collection of this, that and the other thing. It's a great feeling when the past burps up a gift. Things forgotten and submerged by the vortex of time which reveals its illusions thru a process such as this."

Joseph Arthur will also be embarking on a limited run of solo dates in the USA beginning on June 20th in Boston where he’ll play the album from beginning to end.
“I’ve never done this album from start to finish live, but Redemption’s Son was always a special record to me and my fans and this clearly seemed like the right time to do it.”

    Joseph Arthur

    Released 09 June 2002

    Joseph Arthur’s third album is a consistently inspired, occasionally frazzled, and often startlingly beautiful album. It's the kind of record with which you can build a slow, sustainable love affair. Its rich textures, vulnerability, and acute, poetic lyrics are guaranteed to slacken jaws and raise goose bumps.
