Holy Joes Coral Island Medicine Show

Description

Bridging ‘Coral Island’ and ‘Sea Of Mirrors’, a second album titled ‘Holy Joe’s Coral Island Medicine Show’, released September 2023. With the full tracklisting limited to physical formats only, the album brings James and Ian Skelly’s grandad a.k.a The Great Muriarty back into the fold for the narrated post-script to one of The Coral’s most successful albums to date. Framed inside a midnight radio show beaming out from a Michelin blimp that hovers somewhere past the piers of Coral Island, ‘Holy Joe…’ is a love letter to the tradition of the death disc and murder ballad, from Stack-o-Lee to Skeleton Key, and everything in between. Stay up late. Tune in. If you do, who knows? You might end up loving it more than the original.
