The Bible - King Chicago (1986)

The Bible were an independent UK band with lead singer Boo Hewerdine. The band released two critically acclaimed albums in the mid 1980s.

In 1985 Hewerdine, who worked in a record shop in Cambridge, formed The Bible, recruiting jazz drummer Tony Shepherd. They released an album of songs through the independent Norwich based record label, Backs Records, called Walking The Ghost Back Home.

The Bible became a fairly successful independent band. Two tracks from the first album, "Graceland" and "Mahalia", were released as singles, but did not achieve very significant sales. The album however was very well received by music pundits, and this brought the band to the attention of Chrysalis Records. Signing to Chrysalis, "Graceland" and another track, "Honey Be Good", were (re)released as singles, and reached the lower end of the UK Singles Chart. A new album, Eureka, followed, but failed commercially. In 1988, Hewerdine decided to leave the group and pursue solo projects. The remainder of the group renamed themselves Liberty Horses.

The Bible reformed for a tour in 1994. Further album releases followed.
