Morrissey, California Son, review: has the once proud Mancunian swapped allegiances? (4 of 5 stars) - The Telegraph
By Neil McCormick
It's mainly behind the paywall except:
“Some say I got devil / Some say I’m an angel / But I’m just someone in trouble,” croons Morrissey, as if entering the increasingly heated debate about his polarising personality. The words, though, are not his own.
An atmospherically orchestrated interpretation of Some Say I Got Devil by neglected American singer-songwriter Melanie provides a brooding finale to Morrissey’s sumptuous 12th solo album, California Son, the first in his career entirely comprised of cover versions.
