This week’s PBS Feature Album is the special 30th Anniversary reissue of Chris Wilson’s 1992 album, Landlocked.
Released on vinyl for the first time with thanks to Cheersquad Records and Tapes, and expanded to a double LP/double CD, with the new version also including tracks from the associated CD EPs The Big One and Alimony Blues.
Landlocked, Faithless & Free was Chris Wilson's first solo album and it saw him nominated for two ARIA Awards - for Best Male Artist and Breakthrough Artist, Album. It followed his releases with the Crown of Thorns and Pub Dogs, and preceded the classic live album, Live At The Continental
Landlocked, Faithless & Free was co-produced by Wilson, engineer Doug Roberts and guitarist Shane O'Mara. The rhythm section comprised Chris' faithful sideman Chris 'Dodgy' Rogers on bass and Paul Kelly's drummer Peter Luscombe, with Jen Anderson (Black Sorrows, Weddings Parties Anything) on violin, Evil Graham Lee (Triffids) on pedal steel, and Rebecca Barnard on vocals.
