Tony Christie signs to Acid Jazz
By CMU Editorial | Published on Tuesday 20 July 2010
Tony Christie has signed a new record deal with the Acid Jazz label to release his new album, ‘Now Is The Time!’, which has been written for the singer by Jarvis Cocker.
Acid Jazz boss Eddie Piller told CMU: “Ever since I heard ‘Avenues And Alleyways’ as a kid, which Christie recorded for Gerry Anderson’s cult TV programme ‘The Protectors’, I’ve wanted to get him into the studio, and at last I’ve done it. The massive success of ‘Amarillo’ a few years ago cemented Tony Christie’s iconic status, he’s working in his first musical on the West End stage and has put down some killer tunes. I am extremely excited, and once you’ve heard the material, I reckon you will be too. The spread on the album is amazing, quite filmic but with some nods to Johnny Cash, spaghetti westerns and a classic soul sound”.
The album will be released in January next year.
