The Gun Club - Fire of Love (1981)


 Terry Graham- drums, Rob Ritter-bass
Ward Dotson- guitar and slide guitar
Jeffrey Lee Pierce- slide guitar and vocals

 Back in 2009 I wrote, in a post on The Gun Club's Miami: Anyway- I’m sure that you’ve all got Fire of Love- it should be ubiquitous, like Dark Side of the Moon, Sgt Pepper’s and After the Goldrush
Having just listened to this LP for the first time in a while I had to post it.
The energy of punk infused with a dark and swampy blues.
The words 'nigger' and 'fuck(ing)' appear quite a few times.

Next time you're looking at the books in the charity shop keep an eye out for Go Tell the Mountain: The Stories and Lyrics of Jeffrey Lee Pierce- It's going for a hundred and ten quid on Amazon.
