Arriving in October 2002, The Kiss Of The Morning is less of a DIY affair than its predecessors; pedal steel player B.J. Cole and Louis Vause on keyboards helped to fully flesh out the eclectic fare on offer. From the lopsided boogie of Locked Doors and Do What You’re Told To’s heavy riffs, to the lonesome country blues of Mountain Of Regret and the White Stripes-like It Ain’t No Lie, a sense of artistic freedom permeates throughout.

“I felt free to do whatever I wanted to do. I was expanding my sound and also finding a bit more calm in my songs.” says Graham.
The Kiss Of The Morning is out on CD, black vinyl and turquoise vinyl from 11th September 2026 as part of Transgressive’s comprehensive reissue of Graham’s solo catalogue.
