We reach back to the pre-Celtic Tiger year of 1991 For The Record this week. Produced by Edwin Collins, ‘I Am The Greatest’ was A House’s third album. Released at a time when the band was at their lowest ebb, ‘I Am The Greatest’ was described by Melody Maker as “A gigantic musical achievement and an astonishing comeback… the ultimate KO.”
Featuring tracks like ‘Take It Easy On Me’, ‘I Don’t Care’, and the anthem ‘Endless Art’, the album would go on reestablish A House’s ascent in the fickle world of music. Dan features tracks from the album all this week, and chats with Dave Couse and Fergal Bunbury on Wednesday’s show, ahead of the band’s show at Vicar Street on December 12.
