Johnny Marr says he's dropped his 'baggage' for his fourth solo album. Pic: Andy CotterillFormer Smiths guitarist Johnny Marr says he feels"let off the leash" after finally dropping any"baggage" he once felt about people expecting him to play in a certain way.
Speaking to Sky News about the release of his double album Fever Dreams Pts 1-4, the musician - who is widely regarded as one of the greatest modern guitar players of our time - explained he finally feels free to write whatever songs he fancies now. "I think you get to a certain point in your career and your life, where maybe at a certain age you, you know, drop your baggage, hopefully."
Easier said than done when your former bandmate is one Steven Morrissey who recently published a somewhat sulky open letter asking Marr to stop mentioning his name in interviews.Ironic given how, Marr admits, he spent decades trying to actively distance himself from how he sounded in his Smiths days in his collaborations with The Cribs, Modest Mouse and the likes of New Order's Bernard Sumner, just to name a few.
"Who knows in the future I might take a left turn and do something whacky but I feel a bit let off the leash with this album."
