The Jezebel Spirit by Brian Eno and David Byrne
My Life in the Bush of Ghosts is a classic record and one of my all-time favourites. It's a fabulous, hybrid creative lovechild by two truly incomparable musicians: David Byrne and Brian Eno.

Now, almost 30 years after recording this seminal work, Byrne and Eno have rekindled their friendship, recorded a new album, and are about to set off on a string of tour dates. Catch them while you can!
The dream art-rock team of David Byrne and Brian Eno will return with new, strange fruit soon, the former Talking Heads man told NME.com recently.

Speaking at an event in New York, Byrne revealed that the duo had rekindled the relationship they formed in the late 70s/early 80s which resulted in three Talking Heads records and 1981’s classic My Life in the Bush of Ghosts.

“I’m finishing up a record with Brian Eno, a musician that I worked with 30 years ago,” Byrne said following an appearance with Paul Simon at the Brooklyn Academy of Music on the 9th of April. “We did a record together of songs, and that’ll come out.”

In the meantime, David Byrne’s booking agent at William Morris Agency, Mark Geiger, has been soliciting offers from a number of different promoters around the United States for Byrne/Eno live shows, promising the set list will consist of at least 40% Eno-era Talking Heads material...Most of the tour is already booked.

Byrne and Eno got the title My Life in the Bush of Ghosts from a novel by Amos Tutuola. Twenty five plus years old and this music still sounds fresh.
