OFFICIAL ABOUT THE ALBUM
10 new tracks on the CD version - We listened to our friends and have, hopefully, delivered what you were asking for...
You loved the guest appearances from the Amazing Bianca Kinane on 'Tone Hound' and selected UK shows so here she is again, featured on lead vocal for a brand new arrangement of 'Chain of Fools', as well as lots of background vocals across the rest of the album. Bianca will, again be appearing with us on UK shows this year... You asked for up-to-date versions of some of the songs featured in our live set, and here they are - 'Prove Your Love', Cocaine' and 'Going Down'. The title track 'My Religion' is a brand new song. You've been asking for more original material and during a pretty prolific period I was able to come up with lots for this album. 'My Religion', 'Hope For the Best', The Devils Music', 'Farkhunda' & 'Oh Why' and 'Prove Your Love' are all JV songs...
As always, I was able to call upon some wonderful musician friends to help put together best recordings possible - Bob Skeat, Mark Griffiths and Jamie Mallender on bass. Ian Gibbons, and Tom Wilson on keyboards. Max Milligan on slide guitar. Lee Vernon on blues harp. Chis White & Viv Boucherat on background/choir vocals
For the technically minded, you'll be pleased to hear that the whole thing was recorded at 96k/24bit, and sounds absolutely spiffing!!
Photography, design and cover art were taken care of by Marc Sinclair - a master at work!

BIOGRAPHY/WIKIPEDIA
John Verity (born 3 July 1949 in Bradford, West Yorkshire) is an English guitarist formerly with the band Argent from 1974 to 1976.
When Argent split up, he formed Phoenix with Bob Henrit and Jim Rodford. The band recorded three albums with CBS Records and toured Europe before disbanding. Rodford joined the Kinks, Verity and Henrit joined Charlie, to record an album with RCA Records. Verity produced the Phoenix albums and Charlie album as well as the first Saxon album.
During the early 1980s Verity worked with Brian Connolly (former vocalist with Sweet) in an attempt to launch him as a solo artist. A single, "Hypnotised" was released on Carrere Records in 1982 produced by Verity, and written by Joe Lynn Turner. Verity was part of Connolly's backing band Encore when they supported Pat Benatar at the beginning of 1983. The line up of this band was formed from members of Verity's own band, which went on to release several albums including Interrupted Journey.
He continues to gig continuously throughout the UK and overseas with the John Verity Band, with occasional solo outings where he will work with experienced musicians in the destination country. John also has many acoustic gigs as a duo with either Max Milligan or Mark Griffiths, as well as with the band. The usual line up features Bob Henrit on drums with either Bob Skeat or Mark Griffiths on bass.
