CD Reviews

Iconic Homage to a Great Talent

Andrew Macklin | BC,Canada | 02/18/2010

(5 out of 5 stars)

"Jeffrey Lee Pierce produced some of the most moving and beautiful rock music with The Gun Club, as well as his more bluesy solo work. This collection of covers and completions of unfinished works is faithful to his spirit and done with great care and love. Nick Cave opens with the lyrically gorgeous 'Ramblin' Mind'. Cave plays piano on Deborah Harry's cover of Lucky Jim, from the brilliant and ignored last Gun Club release, but what makes the collection so coherent is the use of Jeffrey Lee Pierce's guitar playing on most tracks. Cave and Deborah Harry duet on Free to Walk, and these two geniuses voices work together spectacularly well. Lydia Lunch pops up repeatedly, her voice is showing age and she sounds at time like Stevie Nicks meets Marge Simpson, but is as entertaining as ever. David Eugene Edwards (16 Horsepower/Woven Hand)seemingly can make any song sound Apocalyptic - quite hair-raising. This is the first time I have heard The Sadies and will investigate them further. One of those rare compilations that hang together in a similar mood with great performances throughout. A noble tribute to one of the musicians I miss most."
