Our Take

I'm just a guy living in a world full of music, trying to make sense of it all. And let me tell you, the latest offering from GUN CLUB, "Preaching The Blues", is a wild ride from start to finish.

The album kicks off with a bang, the opening track "Blues Run The Game" hitting you like a punch in the face from a tipsy uncle at a family wedding. Jeffrey Lee Pierce's gravelly voice cuts through the mix like a butter knife through warm butter, leaving you with a sense of both awe and confusion.

As the album progresses, you're taken on a journey through the dark, twisted alleys of American roots music. Tracks like "Devil In The Woods" and "Fire Of Love" are like a sonic light show, leaving you both dazzled and slightly disoriented.

But it's not all doom and gloom. The band injects moments of light-heartedness into the mix, with tracks like "Jack On Fire" and "She's Like Heroin To Me" providing a much-needed break from the intensity.

Overall, "Preaching The Blues" is a masterclass in genre-bending, soul-shaking music. It's not for the faint of heart, but if you're willing to take the plunge, you'll be rewarded with an experience like no other. This album is a must-listen for any music lover looking to expand their horizons and maybe have a little fun along the way.

About the artist

The Gun Club

The Gun Club were the perfect embodiment of the raw, rebellious spirit of punk rock. Fronted by the enigmatic Jeffrey Lee Pierce, this American band fused elements of blues, rockabilly, and punk to create a sound that was all their own. With their blistering guitar riffs, pounding drums, and Pierce's gravelly vocals, The Gun Club were a force to be reckoned with. Formed in Los Angeles in the early 1980s, The Gun Club quickly gained a reputation for their electrifying live shows and their no-holds-barred approach to music. Their debut album, "Fire of Love," remains a classic of the post-punk era, with tracks like "Sex Beat" and "For the Love of Ivy" showcasing the band's unique blend of raw energy and dark lyricism. Despite internal tensions and lineup changes, The Gun Club continued to push the boundaries of rock music throughout the 80s and 90s. Their sound evolved over the years, incorporating elements of country and psychedelia, but their rebellious spirit and fierce energy remained constant. Tragically, Jeffrey Lee Pierce passed away in 1996, but his legacy lives on through The Gun Club's influential body of work. With their genre-defying sound and uncompromising attitude, The Gun Club remain one of the most important bands in the history of punk rock. So, next time you're feeling like a rebel without a cause, put on some Gun Club and let the wild, untamed spirit of rock 'n' roll wash over you.
