Johnny Marr established his fame in the 1980s with The Smiths- a very popular and influential band in their native England, and a significant cult band in the United States. Marr was the guitarist in the group, and co-wrote the band's songs with frontman Morrissey. The Smiths only lasted for five years, and Marr went on to not only do a lot of session work, but to join bands like The Pretenders (briefly), The The, Modest Mouse, and The Cribs. He also formed a new band, Electronic, with Bernard Sumner. Since 2013, Marr has been releasing solo albums. Call The Comet is his third. In 2010, a BBC poll found Johnny Marr to be the fourth best guitarist of the last 30 years. He demonstrates that mastery, plus his skills as a songwriter and vocalist on Call The Comet.
