Wilko Johnson is all set to return to ‘Blow Your Mind’: his first album of all-new material in 30 years which is due for release on 15 June through Chess Records/ UMC. The former Dr Feelgood guitarist from Canvey Island was diagnosed in late 2012 with terminal pancreatic cancer. However, despite the doctors’ worst predictions, he continued to perform with a new lust for life and even made the most successful album of his career, the gold-selling ‘Going Back Home’ with the legendary Roger Daltrey.

Following that album’s remarkable success he announced that thanks to a third opinion from a doctor moonlighting as a rock photographer and life-saving surgery, he was now cancer-free. With customary humour Wilko Johnson said of this late-career resurgence: “Man, there’s nothing like being told you’re dying to make you feel alive”.

‘Blow Your Mind’ is Johnson’s first album of new material in 30 years, and is the sound of a man feeling very much alive.

Joining Wilko on the album are his long-standing band; Norman Watt Roy on bass and Dylan Howe on drums along with producer Dave Eringa who worked with them on the gold-selling album ‘Going Back Home’ with Roger Daltrey. Describing the record as “The album I never thought I’d get to write”, it deals with the trials and tribulations that he faced in the last five years, songs such as ‘Marijuana’ and ‘Take It Easy’ deal very directly with the terminal diagnosis Johnson was given.

Speaking about the first sets of lyrics that he’d written in three decades Wilko says: “It’s tricky when you get to seventy years old, because what am I supposed to be singing? “I love you, baby, but you done me wrong?” Come on! That’s kind of a problem. But I never thought that I’d be the sort of person to write songs about different sorts of real-life experiences until I got sick”.
