Fun Lovin’ Criminals frontman Huey Morgan has announced a new double A-side single and dates for his March 'In Your Face’ tour. The new run of dates will make up the first full UK tour with his new outfit, Huey and the New Yorkers, since releasing their debut album ‘Say It To My Face’.
New double A-side single kicks off with ‘The Way It Was Before’ - complete with Tom Waits Closing Time-esque bar room piano and feel good drive-time bass - is a cathartic assessment of how times have changed.
Ex US Marine Huey is admirably sentimental about his time in the military and has pledged his cut of record sales to military charities on both sides of the Atlantic. The profound impact military service has had on Huey is clear with his new work, not least with country opus ‘Fall Into Me’, the second A-side, which in-between beautiful slide guitar and sunset harmonies, reveals the importance of ‘mail call’ (when soldiers receive letters in the field).
Huey strongly intends to take the important message of servicemen welfare on the road with him; “we hope to visit as many hospitals, rehabilitation centres and places where we can play some music for the troops along the way”.
Family man Huey hasn’t forgotten the importance of a good night out either; “A charity called Tickets For Troops will be given tickets to each concert to avail service people a chance for a great night out.”
