Twenty-five years into a music career that has seen five Grammy nominations, two RIAA certified Gold records and, most recently, the publication of 'Desolation: A Heavy Metal Memoir', an honest reflection on his life in music and beyond, Mark Morton's creative energy is at an all-time high. Over the course of two decades spent building a worldwide audience as guitarist and songwriter for Lamb of God, Morton's musical ambitions were steadily evolving. While enjoying Lamb of God's success in the heavy metal world, there were still elements of his songwriting that weren't finding their way to the surface - the result being, first, 2019's 'Anesthetic', an album featuring a host of high-profile artists, including late Linkin Park vocalist Chester Bennington, and now 'Without The Pain', his second solo outing and a paean to his longstanding love of southern rock As a young child in the '70s and '80s, southern rock music was a mainstay of Morton's small town Virginia upbringing. The sounds of Lynyrd Skynyrd, The Allman Brothers Band, Molly Hatchet, Blackfoot and more helped to shape the fledgling musician's understanding of what would eventually become his lifelong passion for rock guitar. 'Without The Pain' wasn't a project Morton took on alone. Produced by longtime collaborator Josh Wilbur, the album features a world class list of contributors, including some of Americana, rock and country's biggest names Outlaw country star Cody Jinks delivers two powerful songs, including the haunting 'Brother'; Blackberry Smoke frontman Charlie Starr teams up with Americana superstar Jason Isbell on 'Come December', while Jaren Johnston (The Cadillac Three) delivers an attitude packed performance on opening track, 'Hell & Back'. Meanwhile, country hitmaker Travis Denning - a Georgia-born artist with a previous No. 1 on the US country airplay chart - collaborates on two moving numbers, both featuring subtle and delicate guitar textures that showcase a different dimension of Morton's songwriting. Troy Sanders (Mastodon) steps up to sing 'Nocturnal Sun', a thunderous doom dirge and the heaviest track on the album, while blues guitar phenomenon Tyler Bryant teams up with Morton for a fireworks-filled guitar duel on throwback psychedelic blues romp, 'Forever In The Light'. The album also features a choice Lynyrd Skynyrd cover, 'The Needle And The Spoon', purposefully delivered by Neil Fallon (Clutch) and released first, making it clear just where the heart of the project lies. Finally, rounding things off, there's a storming anthemic rocker fronted by Matt James of Blacktop Mojo, also the album's title track, and James will be fronting the live band when it takes to the road in 2025. Other featured players include guitar greats Grace Bowers and Jared James Nichols, while joining Morton to make up 'Without The Pain's core studio band are bassist Tim Lefebrve (David Bowie, Tedeschi Trucks Band), drummer Gary Novak (Allan Holdsworth, Alanis Morrissette) and keyboardist Adam MacDougall (The Black Crowes, Macy Gray).

Indie pop cratediggers, behold the miracle: Record Store Day 2026, Merge Records is reissuing Words of Wisdom and Hope, the 2002 album by Teenage Fanclub and Jad Fair. Available on vinyl for the first time since its original 2002 release, Words of Wisdom and Hope is accompanied by a bonus 7-inch, "Always In My Heart" b/w "Rock Me Tonight," with the B-side's North American debut making this the definitive edition of the album.
Words of Wisdom and Hope is both a curio within Jad Fair's sprawling catalog and a left turn for Teenage Fanclub after the harmony-drenched jangle-pop of Howdy! Its charms — which are unrelenting from the moment Fair breaks in over the Fanclub's groove on "Behold the Miracle" to document the sparkle in the eye of a girl — are as obvious as they are mysterious: Is it Fair's spur-of-the-moment earnestness bringing out the rawer edges of Teenage Fanclub? Is it the polish of a band at one of several career peaks revealing new facets of the legendary Half Japanese frontman's songwriting?
Whatever it is, their sensibilities mesh together perfectly. Words of Wisdom and Hope finds the sweet spot between Teenage Fanclub's gorgeous Glaswegian pop soundscapes and Jad Fair's twitchy takes on love and monsters, like if Jonathan Richman were at the helm of Loaded-era Velvet Underground, somehow wide-eyed in its innocence and winkingly sly all at once. An album aimed directly at the biggest, tingliest part of the heart — play it loud for young crushes, and louder for something to remember young love by.
