CD/DVD Releases: Manning To Release 14th Album In October

Posted on Thursday, August 29 @ 14:43:44 UTC by nightowl

I say it in my reviews - when October comes, so comes a new Manning album. In this case, his 14th release (under the Guy Manning/Manning banner inclusive) The Root, The Leaf & The Bone. The release date is October 7, 2013 via Festival Music (F2).

As Manning writes, "Pre-ordering will start ahead of that and the album will be available at Summer's End 2013 [on October 4 - 6]."

As gleaned from the Manning website, "[t]he track list running order has now been decided upon:

1. The Root, The Leaf & The Bone
2. Decon(struction) Blues
3. Autumn Song
4. The Forge
5. Old School
6. Palace Of Delights
7. The Huntsman & The Poacher
8. Mists Of Morning Calling To The Day
9. Amongst The Sleepers

"A set of songs dealing with a number of aspects around the theme of 'change,' be it through 'progress,' nature, nostalgia or just pure fantasy.

"For good or bad? What has been lost in translation?

"The album features the current Manning band line-up plus some noted special guests, this time including Chlöe Herington (Knifeworld, Chrome Hoof), John Young (Lifesigns, Asia, Scorpions, Greenslade), Marek Arnold (Seven Steps to the Green Door, Toxic Smile), Ian 'Walter' Fairbairn (Jack the Lad, Hedgehog Pie), Stephen Dundon (Molly Bloom).

"Leaf"ing no "bone" unturned... you can "root" out some additional Manning live performances as he also announced recently that on November 16 and 17 they'll be playing live at a Classic Rock Society show at The Wesley Centre, Maltby, Rotherham, UK and at a House of Progression show at the The Peel, Kingston, London, UK. Also on the bill for both days, John Young and Phideux. "Closing the night(s) will be the fabulous John Young Band, capitalising on the fantastic success of the 'Lifesigns' album," Manning notes on his site. "Opening proceedings will be a rare UK appearance by the Phideaux 'Trio' (Phideaux, Valerie & Ariel) with some help from Guy (Ed. we think!).

"The trio were over visiting Guy in the UK and we thought ... well why not?

"Manning will take centre slot and centre stage with a newly revamped set list. This will be featuring some songs from the brand new 2013 release The Root, The Leaf & The Bone plus other older pieces, some of which have never been played live before!

"More details and directions to advance sale tickets can be found here.

"Please note, both shows will be early doors starters to accommodate the fine bill," Manning adds (which is 6:00pm).
