Journey Is Long Jeffrey Lee Pierc

Journey Is Long Jeffrey Lee Pierc

Deluxe packaging with 20 pagebooklet. The Jeffrey Lee Pierce Sessions Project follows 2009's acclaimed We Are Only Riders collection with a second volume of the late Gun Club leader's previously-unreleased work-in-progress, brought to life by old friends, collaborators and acolytes.Many songs started as nascent ideas captured on a cassette unearthed by Pierce's latter day collaborator Cypress Grove while clearing out his loft. Harking back to the collective ethos of Pierce's beloved jazz, artists spill into each other's tracks, reinterpreting or finishing lyrical and melodic sketches while some chose personal favorites from his catalogue. This time, the Jeffrey Lee Pierce Sessions Project includes Nick Cave (who also takes part in a return duet with Debbie Harry on 'The Breaking Hands'), Mick Harvey, Debbie Harry & Chris Stein, Lydia Lunch, The Jim Jones Revue, Kid Congo Powers, Tav Falco's Panther Burns, Mark Lanegan and Isobel Campbell, Youth's Vertical Smile, Steve Wynn (Dream Syndicate), Warren Ellis, Barry Adamson, Bertrand Cantat & Pascal Humbert, Thalia Zedek & Chris Brokaw, Hugo Race, Dom Beken and Kris & Michelle Needs, sometimes in different combinations.
