GEE, MY LIFE'S A FUNNY THING
AM I STILL
TOO YOUNG ?
Prior to his death,
David Bowie
prepared a number of
posthumous releases
for the coming years.
Today bring one such release,
a new box set
dubbed
Who Can I Be Now?
(1974-1976),
which includes an
unreleased album
called
The Gouster
The Gouster
was recorded amidst
Bowie’s
“plastic soul”-era
in 1974,
during which time
he embraced
elements of funk,
R&B,
and
soul music.
The album begins with
a re-recorded version of
“John, I’m Only Dancing”
and also includes
tracks such as
“Young Americans”,
“Somebody Up There Likes Me”,
and
“Can You Hear Me?”.
While
The Gouster
never saw release,
several albums tracks
were reconfigured
and released
on 1975’s
Young Americans.
Now,
for the first time,
fans can Hear
The Gouster
in full
as part of the
What Can I Be Now?
box set.
