Originally released in 2007, Shotter’s Nation followed in the footsteps Down In Albion, Babyshambles’ debut album and Pete Doherty’s first album outside of his first band - the era-defining Libertines. Shotter’s Nation is unmistakably Doherty. Melodic, stark, catchy, raw, brilliantly unique - his music has always created an unflappable loyalty from his many fans, remaining timeless, yet still sending a nostalgic excitement through its listeners. The album also features four songs co-written by Doherty’s then-girlfriend Kate Moss who also regularly performed live with them. The approach to the recording and release of the album was an escape from Doherty’s previous methods. Stephen Street (The Smiths, Blur, Morrissey, The Cranberries) took over producer duties from The Clash's Mick Jones, and it was his first album released by a major label, Parlophone.
