Black Eyed Sons
Black Eyed Sons is the eighth studio album by the Quireboys, the English rock band. It came out in June 2014 on Off Yer Rocka Recordings, and followed Beautiful Curse, released the year before.
The release came with extras for fans of the band's live work: an unplugged live album recorded in Sweden, and a DVD of a London performance filmed during the Beautiful Curse tour. It sits in a busy stretch of the Quireboys' story, with St Cecilia and the Gypsy Soul arriving in 2015 and Twisted Love in 2016. For anyone who wants to hear the band both plugged in and stripped back, this package offers the chance to do so.
