Anybody like the Gun Club?

[Larry Mal]

I've been listening to them a lot lately, so I thought maybe someone might not know much about them at this point:

This is probably their all time classic, I'd guess:

Jeffrey Lee Pierce was a hell of a lyricist and songwriter, man. A very interesting guy.

Big fan here, particularly of their later stuff and the Mother Juno album more so than the earlier stuff, with that said it's all great. Theres a book of JLP's lyrics and writings that was published several years ago, but is now long out of print and expensive, definitely an incredible, and unique, lyric writer. He has a couple of solo releases also which I don't mind, but which were never as good as the stuff he did with the Gun Club.

[Larry Mal]

Yeah, I looked for that book, it was like $250!

They did some good songs.

Always worth a listen.

Great band, saw them a lot in the early 80's and I still pop out to see Kid Congo & The Pink Monkey Birds when the opportunity arises.

Great band! I also like JLP solo album Wildweed. Suffers a bit from the production but great songs!

Feel similarly to nrs24985 about JLP's solo endeavors but I've ADORED The Gun Club since I was a tween. I think I'll put Miami on this afternoon

[Johno]

Yep love them. Not sure why but the album cover of Miami make me feel a real sense of nostalgia.
I believe Nick Cave recorded some unrecorded Gun Club songs with guests few years ago,might be worth checking out.

There's a double elpee on glitterhouse called; We Are Only Riders. I'd need to go and play it to remind myself but I think the David EugeneEdwards song and the one's, the Sadies, Debbie Harry and Mark Lanegan/ Isobel Campbell do are highlights.

There might even have been a thread on it.

Edit; Actually there was, I started it.

It's worth mentioning the other two "Sessions" albums - "The Journey is Long" and "Axels and Sockets" - lots of the same people from "We Are Only Riders" (and a few more to boot, including Iggy Pop, Mark Stewart, Thurston Moore, etc.), and worth seeking out if you enjoyed the first one.
