Every Album Ever w/ Mike Mansour & Alex Volz
Music:Music Commentary
This week we’re discussing the wild and influential Gun Club. Led by all around maniac Jeffrey Lee Pierce, the Gun Club pioneered a unique type of blues-inspired punk in the early 80s before releasing a handful of strong rock albums. Pierce, by all accounts, was a drugged up, rabid egomaniac who wailed like a legendary blues man, despite being tone deaf. Even still, the Gun Club released some wonderfully inventive and timeless albums. If Pierce’s vocals don’t scare you off, there is a lot to be had here.
Closing track: “For the Love of Ivy” from Fire of Love (1981)
