Terry Stamp

Terry Stamp follows his acclaimed Burning Shed debut 'Bootlace Johnnie and the Ninety-Nines' (Uncut's 'Americana Album Of The Month' and Daily Mirror's 'Album Of The Week') with 'Howling for the Highway Home', which features twelve intense and poetic narrative-driven songs from the former leader of 1970s cult band Third World War (TWW).

Along with recent covers and name-checks from Marc Almond and Paul Weller and an article in February's edition of Classic Rock, 'Howling for the Highway Home' is yet another strong addition to the growing reputation of this underrated and influential singer-songwriter.

Intense, poetic, earthy and emotive, the astonishing 'Bootlace Johnnie and the Ninety-Nines' features the first new recordings for nearly 30 years of songs by Terry Stamp and Jim Avery, the songwriters at the heart of uncompromisingly political 1970s cult band Third World War (TWW).

Sensitively guided by the inventive production and playing of Alistair Murphy, 'Bootlace Johnnie' is a potent reminder of Terry Stamp's highly individual voice and lyrical style. Occasionally recalling the likes of Tom Waits, Kevin Coyne and Van Morrison, the album's songs carve a totally distinctive path of their own.
