The Ghost of Ohio
Andy Black
Andy Black’s second solo album continues
his exploration of his rock roots, with
dark gothic sounds and ‘80s synth-tinged
melodies laced with his iconic, chilling vocals.
Is this who he really is? Or is he still finding
that out? It sounds like he’s comfortable with
this newfound freedom either way.FIVE FACTS:
- Blunt explained to Apple Music: “This
has been one of my easiest albums to write
because I’ve had really clear things I’ve
needed to say.” - “I’m seeing that circle of life playing out in
front of me,” he said, referring to the contrast
between his young family and his father,
who has been diagnosed with stage four
chronic kidney disease. - The effect that the diagnosis has
had on Blunt’s relationship with his
father is referenced in the aching piano
ballad “Monsters”. - The album’s first single, “The Cold”, refers
to how Blunt mentally feels – “cold” – when
away from his wife, as when touring for
months at a time. - Blunt’s wife Alexandrina “Sofia” Wellesley
is the granddaughter of the eighth Duke
of Wellington, a member of the United
Kingdom’s House of Lords before his death
on November 31, 2014.
