Babyshambles: Shotter’s Nation Review
From his on-and-off relationship with supermodel Kate Moss to his regular confrontation with the law, 2007 was a year that made headlines for Pete Doherty. Babyshambles, an indie rock band he formed while taking a break from The Libertines, also released their latest album, Shotter’s Nation, in October of this year. Shotter’s Nation is their second album and is, in my opinion, way more superior than their first effort, Down In Albion.
Shotter’s Nation contains 12 tracks and a guest appearance by 60′s folk legend Bert Jansch in the acoustic closer, ‘Lost Art Of Murder’. Personally, I think Shotter’s Nation is a great album. From the thrilling guitar opening of ‘Carry On Up The Morning’ to the
confessional lyrics of the Clash-style ‘You Talk’ to the the acoustic ballad of ‘Lost Art Of Murder’, this album is full of solid tunes. Although not a masterpiece, this is certainly a step-up from their messy 2005 debut.

As you may have noticed, Pete Doherty has been in the news a lot lately, going in and out of rehab. The man is more popular than his band, Baby Shambles. I discovered this band near the beginning of 2007 from a friend. The first song I heard was “Fuck Forever” and it made me a fan. Here’s the video clip:
The beginning is pretty clever eh? They’re also releasing an album soon, called “Shotter’s Nation”. You can download the single “The Lost Art of Murder” from The Times website
