Sobre el álbum
Publicado en 2003, durante su larga ausencia de los estudios de grabación, Under the Influence no es un álbum de Morrissey, sino una compilación seleccionada por él. Este disco forma parte de una serie en la que diferentes artistas eligen las canciones que los han inspirado y marcado a lo largo de su vida. El trabajo ofrece una fascinante ventana a las eclécticas influencias del cantante.
La selección es, como cabía esperar, muy personal y variada. Incluye desde el proto-punk de los New York Dolls hasta el glam rock de Sparks y T. Rex. Demuestra su amor por las voces femeninas, incluyendo a artistas como Diana Dors o Patti Smith.
"Under the Influence" es un documento de un valor incalculable para cualquier seguidor del artista. Permite entender mejor las raíces de su propio sonido y de su universo estético. Es un mapa musical que conecta los puntos entre sus ídolos y su propia obra, revelando la profundidad de su cultura musical.
