WE GET BY

Product Information

If people in the industry did amplify my message, I know the working-class population would get behind me if they heard my songs. More people would believe they could change their circumstances, and that’s important.” Why do you think the industry is slow to support working class success stories like you, The Lottery Winners, The Reytons and Louis Dunford? Sitting around the middle of the album is Somethings Gotta Give talking about the harsh realities of life. He speaks of the unfairness of life for the working class and the reality of dreams creating a melancholy feel which is also felt in Stop Living Blind and is a needed feature of his album. Jamie Webster is a name that has become synonymous with the terraces of Anfield with his piercing anthems blasted through the streets of Liverpool on Matchday and his rendition of ‘Allez-Allez-Allez’ now a Reds phenomenon. Recorded at the renowned Parr Street Studios, ‘We Get By’ is Jamie Webster’s long-awaited, supercharged debut full-length. After this long in power, how could anyone say the Tories are the answer? Literally any government that isn’t this one has to be the lesser of two evils. I’m not saying Keir Starmer is definitely the answer, but maybe we need to go with him to get Labour in. They could sort out the rest once they’re in.

My City, my people, my heart” bellows Webster on the resounding ‘This Place’, moulding a palpable affection for his hometown. ‘Grinding The Gears’ captures Jamie’s optimistic outlook on life as he sings about “seizing the day” and ‘Common People’ takes on a nostalgic pop semblance. I’m not going to comment on the antisemitism claims around Jeremy Corbyn. What’s definite is how he got so many young people onside. For the first time in my generation, a leader was speaking the truth. I’m sure Starmer is a nice guy, but as a Labour leader representing young people having to live through this shitshow of a government, he’s just not taking any fight to the Tories.”Jamie Webster tops the first Official Folk Albums Chart". officialcharts.com .
