THE GUN CLUBWARD DOTSON, JEFFREY LEE PIERCE, ROB RITTER, TERRY GRAHAM
plus CHRIS STEIN, D.H. LAURENCE JR.
Los Angeles alternative rockers whose uncompromising style drew from Delta blues, Southern gothic,
and psychobilly. Tribal psychobilly blues is the best way to describe the Gun Club's energetic
death rock, but the band's career seemed doomed from the get-go due to leader Jeffrey Lee Pierce's
reputation as an unreliable wildman, and well-publicized bouts of drunkenness dogged him
throughout his career. Formed in Los Angeles in the early '80s, the band was vaguely aligned
with similarly roots-inspired groups like X and the Blasters, but later picked up and
relocated to the Lower East Side, resting more comfortably around the New York downtown
set and Pierce's mentors, Debbie Harry and Chris Stein.......

Going for a higher, more desolate sound, frontman and slide player Jeffrey Lee Pierce
and his band were literally on fire. The songs here, from "Carry Home," "Like Calling Up Thunder,"
"Devil in the Woods," "Watermelon Man," "Bad Indian," and "Texas Serenade," among others,
centered themselves on a mutant form of country music that met the post-punk ethos
in the desert, fought and bloodied each other, and decided to stay together.
This is hardcore snake-charming music (as in water moccasins not cobras), evil, smoky,
brash, and libidinally uttered. Their spooky version of an already creepy tune by
Creedence Clearwater Revival, "Run Through the Jungle" runs the gamut from sexual
nightmare to voodoo ritual gone awry. Finally, Pierce and company pull out all the roots
and reveal them for what they are: "John Hardy," is a squalling punk-blues,
with the heart of the country in cardiac arrest. ...(AllMusic)
