,Bob Jackson of BADFINGER shared the following news on December 12 regarding a new digital album release coming of Pete Ham songs. This is a follow up to the album ‘Misunderstood‘, released earlier this year. Check out Bob’s post for all the details below, as well as the first track released from it.
I’m very honored and thrilled to announce the release of a brand new Pete Ham digital album release, titled “Gwent Gardens.” This is the follow-up to “Misunderstood” and the first new release since the passing of producer/engineer Dan Matovina. This is being released with the full support of the Ham Estate. The album is full of the beautiful melodies and universal lyrics that Pete is well known for, composed on either guitar or piano/keyboards. Most of the songs on this new collection have never been heard before by the public, however there are still some demo versions of his well known tunes. This release will be different from previous ones; None of the songs will include posthumous overdubs. Dan would be very pleased to know that his desire to get all of Pete’s unreleased songs out for the public to enjoy is being fulfilled by his team of close friends and associates. One of the last things he told me was, “I can’t believe there are still so many great Pete Ham songs that no one has heard yet.”
The digital album of “Gwent Gardens” can be pre-ordered from Apple Music starting on December 10 and will be released for streaming and downloading on December 21, 2023. A preview song, “Love Will Be” will be available as a YouTube lyrics video starting December 10.
In addition, there will be a special album preview event on the BadfingerIveysOfficial YouTube channel on Friday, December 15 from 9:00-10:00pm EST.
