Hi Trixiehobbit
I would hope that the album is ALL Craig, but having looked again at Amazon I must admit the wording is a bit ambiguous.
I wasn't thinking along the same lines as pjb as the excitement had got to me!
I will try a few more sites to see if I can get anymore info but
if it is Craig and others it's very misleading!!!!

Yay you got it Trixie. Was determined not to grab it myself, as there are others far more deserving like yourself
Thanks Craig for all the inspiration!!

'Featuring' Craig Chalmers ???
This sounds to me like Craigs name is being used to promote and sell this album - yet its not entirely his. Therefore we can assume it features other Joes. Clever financial move there by BK, capitalising on the success of ADWD. But yet again Craig has to share the spotlight - despite being promised otherwise. I'm furious with BK now. So much for the 'I can't teach heart' - No, you can't. But you should remember where yours is actually Bill!!!
Thanks for the link Foxy.
Sorry for my outburst but I am gobsmacked that Craig isn't getting the credit he deserves. He's the one who's working non stop for Bill and there wouldn't have even been an album without him. Wheres his own album that he absolutely deserves??[/QUOTE
Wow! Have you simmered down yet. Quite understand the outburst. In our opinion Craig doesn't need to share the spotlight - but Craig appears very pleased with the outcome, whatever the full content may be. Whilst BK is obviously 'in business', there is a lot to be gained from being in his company. He seems to keep on board those who do a good job for him, and it can only benefit all those involved if the appeal of the CD is as wide as possible. Everyone who hears, sees or meets Craig is easily converted to a fan. Of course, Craig from one to twelve (or was it more) would suit us better, but it may be that there are a few duets only. Or we may be entirely wrong and have pure Craig. Let's celebrate for Craig - whatever the story.

Welcome back Trixie - we've missed you
You're not the only one who's really concerned about all of this - and I'm looking at it from 2 sides (if you know what I mean).

Hi Trixie,
*waves*
Hope your PC problems are behind you now. Has the air been blue?
I've just caught up with the run of posts since this morning and I need to read through them properly...
well its either that or the ironing!

Good timing!!
And entirely appropriate - as you were inspired by McJoseph to write post No 1, you should write post No 5000 too!
Congratulations Trixie.

I've obviously spoken to Craig about it over the last week or so and while we may all have concerns about what BK is up to we do only know half the story. Craig is genuinely excited about the album so for the time being I'm going to stop worrying about it and just look forward to hearing it for the first time
I'm with you all on this one, Craig has proved himself enough to have an album of his own work.
Hopefully we will have something to be pleased with after all BUT there is another disc out soon called DREAM that is a compilation of artists so the alarm bells are ringing!!!!!
Bill K had better keep 'em well secured and away from Trixie's Christmas tree methinks!!

Just a thought to add to the discussion 'Dream On' - early Aerosmith track I think. Probably has nothing to do with it.

I can't find it on the Express on line. Anyone got any other clues. Was it a review of the show - if so - might it get put on Craig's 'On-Tour' site as it is from the national press.

Hopefully there will also be some news about the album on there too

Aha!! So we have another Craigette who manages to fit in 'one or two' other shows!!
And may I ask - are there more that you will tell us about in time?

Congrats Trixie
Seems like the album concern will give us plenty to talk about

If Craig is genuinely excited, we have to trust him, and be excited too, after all we are going to have a cd with him singing on it.

I've been reading all the posts about Craig's CD and I have to say I agree with everyone.
It really will be such a shame if Craig is featured on an album with other Josephs as he so deserves an album of his own songs and it will be an injustice if he doesn't get this chance but if Henry has received a text from Craig saying that he has heard the CD and is excited about it, then I think we should be too. Craig has never let us down and I think we have to wait to hear the full story on this and cross our fingers too, perhaps all the Craigettes could have an imaginary group hug and start praying really hard!!!
By the way welcome back Trixie we have missed you and how fab we've reached 5000 posts, thank goodness there is always so much to talk about on our favourite subject.
Take care, best wishes, Siouxsie xxx
Well done everybody
this morning when I sneaked in we were on page 199
2 pages later and we are way past the magic number.
On Craig's album - could it be that he is the major act but because it has others they have used the word featuring
He said before he had done 8 tracks, that surely must be the majority of the CD ?
lastly

You might be right Dotty. As long as Craig is the main artist and singing nearly all the songs, I think I will be happy.

Great post Siouxsie, you're right he hasn't let us down, and I'm glad he's excited about the CD.

I don't think any of us feel Craig's let us down, but we're worried that BK has let Craig down by not let him make an album of his own
Having said that, we should wait until we know for sure, before we help Trixie to decorate her tree
