Tonight, The Great Western Road Trip begins in Liverpool!

Out now – The Great Western Road (Tour Edition). Listen here.

This expanded CD edition features five bonus tracks and stands as our tribute to our brother, Jim Prime, whose playing runs through every note.

To coincide with the first night of our tour, we’re excited to announce that a special Tour Edition of The Great Western Road will be released on 19th September. Pre-order your copy here.

This expanded edition features five bonus tracks and stands as our tribute to our beloved Jim Prime, whose playing runs through these songs. His own composition Connie and Sam finally finds its place here too.

One of these tracks, Much Too Close To Love (a demo that never quite made it onto the album) is out now!

Dear friends,

We announce with great sadness that our brother, James Prime, passed away this morning after a short struggle with cancer. Thank you so much for the messages of support that you shared over the last two weeks, they meant so much to Jim, his family and us.

With love, Deacon Blue

We’re absolutely over the moon! The Great Western Road entered the Official UK Albums Chart at No. 3 and hit No. 1 on the Official Scottish Albums Chart – our highest chart position on the UK albums chart since Fellow Hoodlums!

Huge thanks to every single one of you who bought the album. It honestly means the world to us that after 40 years we’re still making music that matters to you and us!

We’re all looking forward to seeing you on the road!

Available here.
