Description

Jeffrey Lee Pierce's haunted vision is given full rein on this oft-underrated follow up to the better known 'fire of love'. All the psychoses of the previous record, the punked-up swamp blues, the great melodies dolorously sung and the Bo Diddley rhythms are present and correct. The sound echoes across a century of American music and is a precursor to the Detroit sound (Jack White is a fan). Numbers by the Carter Family and Crredence are given re-workings that hint at the desperation and lawlessness of their Southern setting but it is Pierce's ghostly 'Mother Of Earth'replete with keening slidemore… guitar and the frantic 'Devil In The Woods' that typify the sound of this record. If you like the White Stripes, the Detroit Cobras, Robert Johnson, the Cramps et. al. then you will love this.
