Morrissey has signed a deal with Lost Highway to release his new album 'Years of Refusal' in the U.S.
The label is owned by Universal, but has an emphasis on country and folk artists, with the likes of Lucinda Williams, Ryan Adams, Elvis Costello and our own Fionn Regan on their roster.
'Years of Refusal' is released on February 13th, and has already caused controversy because of its sleeve, which shows Morrissey holding a baby (who has been named as Sebastian Pesel-Brown, the son of his Assistant Tour Manager).
The tracklisting of the album, which was produced by the late Jerry Finn, is as follows:
'Something Is Squeezing My Skull'
'Mama Lay Softly On The Riverbed'
'Black Cloud'
'I'm Throwing My Arms Around Paris'
'All You Need Is Me'
'When Last I Spoke To Carol'
'That's How People Grow Up'
'One Day Goodbye Will Be Farewell'
'It's Not Your Birthday Anymore'
'You Were Good In Your Time'
'Sorry Doesn't Help'
'I'm OK By Myself'
Tickets for his four upcoming Irish shows are on sale now from usual outlets.
