5.0 out of 5 stars Mother Juno Father Jeffrey Lee, July 14, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Mother Juno (Audio CD)

More than the other Gun Club albums, "Mother Juno" is an amazing crash between punk rock, blues, country and pure rock'n'roll. Produced in Berlin by Robin Guthrie (from the Cocteau Twins) the fourth Gun Club album shows a much mature Jeffrey Lee Pierce. The violent and raw sides of "Fire Of Love" are over and the readings of american musics history from "Miami" and "Las Vegas Story" are behind him, so now the leader of the Gun Club can be more focus on his own way of thinking the music. Here, the songs are intense, sad and beautiful. It could be the soundtrack of a Cormac McCarthy novel written by Chet Baker (why not?). Actually, it's may be just a great rock'n'roll album, a buried treasure that make us understand why Jeffrey Lee Pierce was a charcater for people like Henry Rollins, 16 Horsepower, Nick Cave, Paul Westerberg, Peter Case, Mark Lanegan or Flea and Kiedis from the Chili Peppers.

4.0 out of 5 stars Going strong, October 10, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Mother Juno (Audio CD)

Having owned every album and being an inspired musician of the Gun Club's I may be a little incey wincey bit biased but here goes.Not as good as the Fire of Love does spring first most in my mind,hard act to follow,true but you gotta admit Pierces ability to churn out top drawer material time and time again baffles the hell out of me but why is it so hard to find,now is your golden opportunity to purchase a slice of the late, great Mr Pierce and an hour of his tortured veiws played like Robert Johnson in a thoroughly bad mood surrounded by a couple of his chums with a grudge against their instruments.Blues? Punk? Gargeland - don't know? I wouldn't like to give The Gun Club a tag, The Gun Club........well there just The Gun Club the asking price for the CD,well worth it - definitely ! check out Port of Souls,corking song.
