Animal Records, Chrysalis, 1984
Category: Dark American Country Folk Rock? Very difficult to categorize
At one time, I would have described the Gun Club as my favourite band. It it still up there and no mistake, I just find it hard to choose "my favourite". This genre probably isn't for everyone, but something in it speaks to me. It's dark, impassioned, imperfect, and feels like it's telling timeless stories.
I had a really hard time finding copies of these records, so I was pumped when Sympathy for the Record Industry re-released them on coloured vinyl. This one came in green, which happens to be my favourite colour, which was a nice bonus. Look at how pretty it is!
I am going to stop writing now and just enjoy listening to side two.
