Peter Doherty a songwriter who regained his No.1 album status with The Libertines’ fourth studio album All Quiet On The Eastern Esplanade in 2024. The timing was serendipitous, the album’s No.1 triumph coming twenty years after The Libertines No.1 album, way back in the mayhem of 2004.
It’s this buoyant spirit which permeates Peter Doherty’s fifth solo album, Felt Better Alive, a gorgeous collection of poetic vignettes, both acoustic and orchestral, indie-folk and country, poignant and outright comic.
Felt Better Alive is his most confident solo collection yet, sprinkled with radiant playfulness, almost innocence at times, shot through with Peter Doherty’s signature melodic nous, quirky poetic realism and visual story-telling gifts. The songs emerged in a time of profound creativity: when Katia was pregnant with Billie-May.
Peter’s band features Mike Joyce - drums (The Smiths), Mike Moore - guitar (Liam Gallagher) Mark Neary - bass/Pedal Steel guitar(Baxter Dury), Jack Jones (Trampolene) - guitar and Peter’s wife Katia deVidas - Keyboards.
