Johnny Marr And The Healers - Boomslang

The Healers is one of Johnny Marr's many side projects, and one of my favourite things he's ever been involved in (not a fan of The Smiths). This album dates from 2003, and it looked until recently like it was to be the group's only album. However, Johnny Marr recently announced the Healers will be releasing a new album in early 2012, with a new line up. This is part of the reason I decided to post this album, the other being that I hadn't posted  any rarities in a while. This is a fairly good album that borrows heavily from Oasis and mid-90s Charlatans, which is a good thing in my book but the album does get a bit samey later on. Highlights include The Last Ride, the excellent Down On The Corner and Long Gone. Recommended to fans of the two bands mentioned above and curious Marr fans. Can't see many Smiths fans liking this though.
