Bono has shared how Patti Smith’s Easter album gave him “so much hope” upon his first listening of the classic at the age of 18. Thus, the title. The lead single “In A Life” seems to look back on the nearly 50 years since four high school boys decided to create something special.
His stepfather was jazz musician Walter Urban, who not only turned young Micheal onto jazz, but also created a home environment marked by instability, substance abuse, and violence.
Call it fuzz and swagger: the Warhols’ style reimagines this set as the members have likely heard these originals hundreds – if not thousands – of times and recorded versions in their heads preparing for just such an album.

Those twangy guitars perfectly complement Ware’s twangy voice. Imagine Dolly Parton meets Lucinda Williams, with a pinch of Liz Phair tossed in for good measure.
