He Almost Drowned

Justin Currie called me from his home in Scotland for an interview with Icon Fetch.  He's just released his second solo disc, The Great War, a return to the melodic pop he perfected with his band Del Amitri.  For a review of his disc, click here.  Among the many topics covered in our conversation, Currie confesses that he almost drowned during the shooting of the front cover photo, for which he is underwater, fully clothed I might add.  He also talks about his biggest hit, "Roll to Me," a top ten smash from his former band in 1995, and his upcoming solo tour that hits the States in June.  He also weighs in on the current social networking craze, and on hearing his music over the speakers in K-Mart.
