Digging through old boxes, you find stuff you’ve totally forgotten about – and every once in a while, you find old nuggets well worth rediscovering again. And when you’ve been active as a band for a long time, you always find songs that didn’t fit into the usual album format.
For the reasons we know, The Quill had a lot of free time last year to look through the remaining tracks to shorten the waiting time for the next studio album for the fans. Live, New, Borrowed, Blue contains tracks from the sessions for the last album Earthrise as well as some cover songs that The Quill recorded in the late ’90s for various tribute albums that are now long out of print. As a kind of icing on the cake, there are also two live tracks from the Sweden Rock Festival 2019, as a reminder of this fantastic performance.
In the meantime, see & hear the brand-new video for “Where Eagles Dare” HERE at The Quill‘s official YouTube channel. Cover and tracklisting for Live, New, Borrowed, Blue are as follows:
