Bless him and the story to this album, but Billy is an absolute self obsessed narcissist. The way he keeps referring to his standing of one of the greatest or accredited songwriters of his generation only to get to the point of how his interviewee has persevered… it’s Alan Partridge level stuff. The story of the album is essentially how Billy has been wronged, does not get the credit he deserves from the music business and how pure he is while navigating all the nasties.
I say this as someone who has followed all the latter day output and find him fascinating as an artist.
PS CYR is a really good album, it took me a while to come round to it but there are some lovely hooks and tunes in it.

well, he really had a very tough upbringing. Like super tough. But yeah, he has been battling always with being the better song writer of his generation, the most lovable from the band. etc

Giving the new one a proper listen. I mostly agree with the comments above and it always makes me approach his albums with a bit of hesitation- like is this the time the bottom will drop out and I’ll have had enough. So far so decent.
