CJ Wildheart Returns With New Album

(Classic Rock) CJ Wildheart is back in business with his first solo album - after doctors once said he might never play the guitar again. Following a three-year break from music - during which time he ran a cleaning business in London - he's gearing up to release Mable, an album funded via Pledgemusic.

With his first child on the way, the 46-year-old admits he is a different person than he was when The Wildhearts, and his other projects Honeycrack and The Jellys, were living the party lifestyle.

CJ says: "When I was in Honeycrack we had to cancel a tour because I had this repetitive strain thing from playing the guitar so low for so many years. My hand was always at a weird angle. Two of my tendons fused together and I had a lump the size of a golf ball on my hand.

"I had to have surgery and the doctor said it might come back. It did when I was in The Jellys - it was really bad and I couldn't play. The doctor said I might have to quit - but I said, 'Not a chance.'
