	BBC NEWS \| Wales \| No split, says solo Manics singer
		Possessing a firm handshake which belies an easy-going nature, Bradfield was in a relaxed mood as he took a break from recording tracks for BBC Radio 1 at the Stir Studios in Cardiff.
		Despite a collective decision by Bradfield, bassist Nicky Wire and drummer Sean Moore, to take a two-year break from the band at the end of their British tour in April 2005, the singer said could not resist the musical pull.
		In the meantime, Bradfield was keen to play down any conceived rivalry with Manics bassist Wire, who is planning to release his debut solo effort later this summer.

		One of Wales’ most successful rock bands, the Manic Street Preachers, might have been little more than a passing plaything for the music press during the early 90’s were it not for the talent of the reluctant hero in their midst.
		James Dean Bradfield grew up with a close-knit group of kindred spirits in Blackwood, South Wales.
		It was Bradfield’s dedication in teaching himself how to play the guitar that brought some reality to their ambitions.

		And with the James Dean Bradfield, you must have been asked this countless times before, has James Dean always been there as your middle name or is it something you added, I don't know the story with this.
		My dad was like a biker when he was young and basically he wanted to call me Clint Eastwood Bradfield for some reason and my mother said she'd divorce him if her first son would be called Clint Eastwood Bradfield so he said ok I've gotta have James Dean Bradfield then.
		OK we've got loads to talk about with the single and also the album as well which not just fans of yours but I've got to say people who like loud music in their cars are gonna love.

	Interview with the lordly James Dean Bradfield
		Bradfield: I think, on the first album, even though it's not perfect in terms of the sonics and things, at least on the first album we sounded like we were speaking our own language.
		Bradfield: I would say that a Manic Street Preachers live concert is pretty irreverent towards the actual record which is supposed to be represented.
		Bradfield: Well, we wrote the lyrics to that song, and it was obvious that it would be quite condescending for me to sing those lyrics.

		Bradfield's use of the group's two-year lay-off to record and tour his debut album, The Great Western, could indicate how institutionalised he has become - a slave to the album/tour cycle that was established during the fabled group's 17-year career.
		Bradfield's big searing tunes present valiant harmony-coated rock that is matched by poignant and perceptive lyrics.
		The nagging lack of self-esteem may be part of Bradfield's appeal but he really shouldn't be so hard on himself - on the evidence of this performance the C Stream lad is more than ready to enter the A Team.

	James Dean Bradfield - The Great Western : album review
		It seems somewhat appropriate that James Dean Bradfield's debut solo album should follow so quickly on the heels of Thom Yorke's The Eraser.
		Bradfield's only previous lyric before this album was the moving Ocean Spray, about his late mother, so perhaps its no surprise he can write so succinctly about a friend who has passed.
		This is Bradfield's best work for quite a while, and a good advert for the revitalizing advantages of going solo.

		Though James was at the helm musically, the band’s unique division of labour meant that nobody has ever known much of what makes James Dean Bradfield the human being tick.
		In fact, it was a happier reconnection with his past that set James off on this new path of creativity, when the time off from the Manics saw him regularly making the same journey between Cardiff and Paddington that had marked the four teenagers’ first tentative steps to domination.
		The tense duality between James the West London rock musician and James the working-class boy from Blackwood is the backbone of ‘The Great Western’.

	BBC - Wales - James Dean Bradfield
		James was born in Newport, Gwent, the only child of Monty and Sue Bradfield.
		James lacked the waifish androgynous appeal that made Richey and Nicky band pin-ups - "I haven't got the bone structure," he shrugs - but his puppydog eyes and rugged blue-collar looks ensured he won over more than a few female fans that like a bit of meat on the bones.
		A keen collaborator, James has worked with a number of artists outside the band, most notably Kylie Minogue, for whom he wrote Some Kind Of Bliss and I Don't Need Anyone, two tracks that appeared on her eponymous 1997 album.

		James Dean Bradfield - Manchester Roadhouse - 22.5.06
		Bradfield on the other hand has been dipping into his record collection which is dominated by easy listening, Motown and 60s Girl Group pop.
		Its the one moment of real riffery in tonight's show and considering his immense underrated talent on the fretboard perhaps the strangest thing about much of tonight's set is his inability to let this take centre stage, often hiding behind a wall of sound created by the band and the three part harmonies.

	James Dean Bradfield Album Reviews
		James Dean Bradfield has always said that he would never record a solo album, but this is the same man who said that the Manic Street Preachers would record one album, sell a million copies and split up.
		Instead of copying what has gone before or drawing influences from the past, JDB has put a lot of effort into creating a whole new sound and creating an identity for himself that is very much separate to the Manic Street Preachers.
		It would be easy to assume that a James Dean Bradfield solo album would be all guitars and shouting, but I think he has proven what a multi faceted musician he really is. He shows his softer, mellower side with an album which is on the whole mellow and poetic.

	James Dean Bradfield- Live On Music: Response
		Having been part of one of the most popular and influential bands of the past fifteen years, front man James Dean Bradfield has decided to take a break from the Manic Street Preachers to finally release his long awaited solo album.
		James wrote and played most of the music on his debut ‘The Great Western’ but still enlisted the help of band mate Sean Moore to play drums on a couple of the tracks and old friend Daf from the Super Furry Animals did the rest.
		A stripped down anthem that features mainly just James and his guitar is one the finest songs he’s written to date.

	James Dean Bradfield, That's No Way to Tell a Lie, Video
		James Dean Bradfield releases his debut solo single 'That's No Way to Tell a Lie' on 10th July 2006, on Columbia.
		With his band in the studio recording their eighth studio album (but most definitely not split up, bassist/lyricist Nicky Wire is recording his solo album, and drummer Sean Moore is looking after a new release of his own as a father), James has produced his first solo album, entitled 'The Great Western'.
		James sought influence from John Cale, Badfinger, Kyffin Williams and the much travelled journey from Cardiff Central to London Paddington during the recording: we've also heard the Steve Miller Band, Todd Rundgren and Rattlesnakes era Lloyd Cole in there.

		Prominent members of the Manics' extended personnel are present - the names Eringa, Nasmyth and Davo will resonate with trainspotters - and I run into the band's live agent and label boss, while the Manics' regular tour DJ is behind the decks.
		But Bradfield's vocal technique - his knack of switching between a heroic gale-force bellow and an angelic falsetto - hasn't altered.
		The public perception of Bradfield as a skilled artisan following orders from those around him is, while grossly unfair (he's the intellectual, aesthetic and political equal of anyone else in the band), perhaps convenient for him: this way, he can elude some of the more lunatic attention visited upon his flamboyant sidekick Wire.

	CD Times - James Dean Bradfield
		James Dean Bradfield has managed to break the shackles of the Manic Street Preachers and release his first solo record.
		I've had this for a month or two now and although initial listens left me with a couple of highlights, the more I listened to it the more it opened up; the more I found additional hooks and lyrics that drew me in.
		One of the frequent highlights is how eloquent Bradfield’s lyrics are; gone are the embarrassing Sixth Form politics that sometimes spoil Wire's with the Manics - these are deeply personal songs that come straight from Bradfield’s heart.

	X-clusive: James Dean Bradfield Plays First Solo Gig In Manchester
		Continuing with a soaring ‘Emiore’ and the Bradfield penned Manics classic ‘Ocean Spray’, James and his band plough through a collection of songs that emphasise the more dreamy, vocal side of his day job band.
		Utilising the three part harmonies his new band allows, the tracks rock slightly less and glide more as the stadium rock is reigned in to produce a touching handful of tracks that, in the intimacy of the Roadhouse, seem more personal than the Manics’ more recent offerings.
		This is a 500 capacity venue and the bottom line is that armed with a set of mostly unknown tracks the fully-grown songwriting and maturity in Bradfield’s voice unquestionably shines.

		Hi, I'm James Dean Bradfield the guitar hero from the Manic Street Preachers and besides being in the most bootiful group eva I spend most of my time downing cockaleekie soup, getting in the burgers, harassing middle aged waitresses at inner-city sausage bar stands and well just generally getting the burgers in like!
		It is merely my prediction of what Jim would have been like if he had continued to drink as much Websters as he did during the EMG Tour of 1996.
