John Spillane to release <i>All the Ways You Wander</i> in November

All the Ways You Wander will come out on November 4th as the first in a three-volume series of acoustic albums, in which the Cork-based singer-songwriter will perform renditions of his most famous songs.

Commenting on the work, Spillane said,

"Friends have been encouraging me for years to make an album of simple, acoustic versions of my songs, and here it is. These songs were written over a period of 35 years, from 1982 to 2017. With the exception of 'The Streets of Ballyphehane' they have all been previously released by myself and many of them have been covered by artists like Pauline Scanlon, Christy Moore, Karan Casey, Muireann Nic Amhlaoibh, Seán Keane, Róisín El Safty, Máire Ní Chéilleachair, Sharon Shannon, Méav, Nell Ní Chróinín, Cathie Ryan, Caroline Fraher, George Murphy, and by bands such as Nomos, Solas, Danú, Greenshine, The Outside Track, Project West, Girsa, Shooglenifty and The Battlefield Band. Hurray!

Other singers who have performed live versions of these songs include Mick Flannery, Mary Black, Brian Kennedy and Declan O' Rourke.

Happy days in the Hit Factory. It's been a blast."
