NotesMorrissey is often recognized as the most important British musician of his generation. YEARS OF REFUSAL is Morrissey's first studio album since 2006's UK #1 RINGLEADER OF THE TORMENTORS. The late Jerry Finn, who previously worked on 2004's critical and commercial smash "You Are the Quarry", produced YEARS OF REFUSAL which is the last album he worked on. The single "I'm Throwing My Arms Around Paris", which Morrissey debuted during his sold out 2007 world tour, will precede the album. Long time band members Boz Boorer, Jesse Tobias, Matt Walker, and Solomon Walker play on the album, which also features a contribution from Jeff Beck on the track "Black Cloud". YEARS OF REFUSAL is a masterful work that finds Morrissey and the band at their best with a muscular sound and the inimitable voice and lyrics of a legend.
