EVEN IN EXILE (with Patrick Jones)

The Big Mates discuss creativity, Thierry Henry, Legoland, and
EVEN IN EXILE by James Dean Bradfield.

Adam, Steve, and Lucas cover the 2020 solo album from the Manic
Street Preachers front man and do a track-by-track deep-dive,
discussing the music, lyrics, themes, and everything inbetween!
But first they talk to Patrick Jones, poet, author,
playwright, political activist, one half of the writing team on
EVEN IN EXILE, and older brother of Manics' bassist Nicky
Wire. Patrick explains the thinking and the process behind the
concept album that focuses on the life and death of Chilean
musician and revolutionary, Victor Jara. Patrick also discusses
poetry, lyrics, and the power of music.

How does the album fit into the career of Manic Street Preachers?
