Morrissey has unveiled another track from his anticipated first-ever covers album ‘California Son’. ‘Lady Willpower’ was written by Jerry Fuller and recorded by Gary Puckett & The Union Gap, originally released back in 1968.
Liam Lynch, who created the ‘California Son’ album artwork has produced the lyric video for the track; a hazy floral retro visual accompanying the love song.
Morrissey has just finished a sold-out week-long residency on Broadway which saw him performing rarities and tracks that have gone un-played live for decades.
‘Lady Willpower’ comes from the new album ‘California Son’ which will be released on 24th May via Morrissey’s label Etienne; an imprint of BMG.
The twelve track album, produced by Joe Chiccarelli, consists of a variety of songs from the ‘60’s and ‘70’s hand-picked and covered by Morrissey himself.
The latest single ‘Wedding Bell Blues’ has been enjoying frequent radio play sitting on the A List at Radio 2 and ‘California Son’ is album of the week on the station.
