Various (Nick Cave, Lydia Lunch, Mark Lanegan etc.) - We Are Only Riders

We Are Only Riders by Various (Nick Cave, Lydia Lunch, Mark Lanegan etc.)

A band project of a stellar cast of musicians to honour the late great frontman of The Gun Club – JEFFREY LEE PIERCE.

Cypress Grove, his former bass player worked his way through his private archive, finding lost songs, lost tapes, lost lyrics and over the past 13 years he got together with a lot of musicians who were friends with JLP, influenced by him or simply fans. He was able to get them working on the fragments he had and over the years an album came together which will drive you to tears of its sheer beauty and intenseness.

NICK CAVE duets with Blondie's DEBBIE HARRY on ‘Free To Walk’. Both singers also contribute solo tracks to the collection & Cave plays piano on Harry's track “Lucky Jim”. This Glitterhouse compilation features MARK LANEGAN and ISOBELL CAMPBELL, MICK HARVEY, LYDIA LUNCH, THE RAVEONETTES and BARRY ADAMSON.

5...according to .

One of the best Folk-records for years! Everybody talks about Nick Cave in this matter, and yes, his version of Ramblin mind is good, but hey - listen to David Eugene Edwards version of the same song. Thats not good, thats BRILLIANT !! Allso Mark Lannegans version of Constant waitin´ is hypnotic. The Raveonettes does not fit in,  well it would have been too good without a bad one...So if you like modern Appallachian-inspired Goth-folk-rock, then buy this album in a hurry!!

Rating: 5 out of 5
