Thirsty Quireboys - God Bless America - Best Of Thirsty LP

London-based rock project Thirsty returns with God Bless America, a striking release that celebrates the life, work and unmistakable creative spirit of the late Guy Bailey - founder of The Quireboys, songwriter, guitarist, and the architect of Thirsty's distinctive sound. Originally, the new album was the brainchild of Irina D and was conceived as a simple tribute: Spike would sing just one track, '10 7 and Possibly 6'. But his first take stunned everyone in the studio, Guy's guitar and Spike's voice locked together with the force of old chemistry reignited. What began as one song quickly became a full, emotionally charged album. Spike himself says "...to get the chance to make a record again with Guy was really special." More than a compilation, God Bless America is a rare and unexpected reunion: a posthumous collaboration between Guy Bailey and his longtime friend and musical partner Spike (The Quireboys), reimagining Bailey's songs through new vocals and powerful duets. Remixed and shaped under the ear of legendary Rolling Stones producer Chris Kimsey, the album brings new clarity, weight and emotional depth to the music Bailey created with co-writer Irina D
