These are writing songs - songs and
music videos that made up a good portion of my waking hours every night while
writing THE LOVE KILLINGS. (I wrote the last thirty chapters in thirty-three
days so I wasn't getting much sleep in early Winter and fed on music with
energy!) The Cult's She Sells Sanctuary
was released in 1985 with the album LOVE. There are only two standalone albums that
are still as good for me as they ever were, maybe even better because both are
still in my car. When SUPERSESSIONS with Al Kooper, Mike Bloomfield, and
Stephen Stills came out it blew me way. Even now, when I close my eyes I can
still hear Season of the Witch
swimming in my mind.
But then the 80s came along, and with it, an incredible
different sounding LP by the Cult called LOVE that seemed so real, new, even tight. Today
it's even better. Ian Astbury truly delivers a command performance on vocals.
And it's just the same with Billy Duffy playing lead guitar on a Gretsch no
less!!! perhaps the most complex sounding electric guitar ever made. (The songs
Rain and Revolution are just as amazing and will be posted later, along with
more Stone Temple Pilots, who became my mainstay.)
Sleep Loose,
Robert
