Life By Misadventure - 2021 European Sony label 14-track 2LP Set

Rag'n'Bone Man returns three years after his ground breaking, award winning debut, 'Human', with a renewed sense of purpose, on a sparkling new album, full of heart and soul. 'Life By Misadventure' is an incredible collection of emotional songs to touch us when we need it most.

His 2017 landmark debut 'Human' was a phenomenal success; a 4x platinum album which shot to #1 week of release in the UK, became the fasted-selling album by a male artist for the entire decade and earned him BRIT and Ivor Novello Awards.

If that's a hard act to follow, Rag'n'Bone Man tore up the rule book and went to Nashville to write and record what would become 'Life By Misadventure', returning to the UK just before the pandemic first erupted. While a dose of heavy blues and soul lives within some of these new tunes, the majority of this new album finds Rag'n'Bone Man taking a huge step forward as an artist, a songwriter, and a singer capable of showcasing tremendous warmth and real emotion with every breath.

The album has been recorded purposefully like a live album - the sound is real and 100% human. Long time collaborators Ben Jackson-Cook (keys, co-songwriter and co-producer of the album), Bill Banwell (bass, and co-songwriter) and Desri Ramus (backing vocals) are joined by drummer Daru Jones (Lazaretto-Jack White) and guitarist Wendy Melvoin who joined Prince's Revolution at the age of 19. Together these musicians have made an album full of joy and immediacy, something all too rare these days of autotune and countless overdubs. One song was even recorded in Rag'n'Bone Man's garage.
