Originally released in 1982, Miami saw The Gun Club expand the dark, blues-soaked sound that made their debut such a landmark. Produced by Chris Stein of Blondie and featuring atmospheric backing vocals from Debbie Harry (credited under the pseudonym D.H. Lawrence), the album blends Punk, Blues, Rockabilly and Gothic Americana into one of the band's most compelling recordings.
Led by the unforgettable voice and songwriting of Jeffrey Lee Pierce, Miami features haunting originals including Carry Home, Like Calling Up Thunder, Texas Serenade, Bad Indian, The Fire Of Love and the beautiful closing track Mother Of Earth, alongside a striking interpretation of Run Through The Jungle. More atmospheric than its predecessor yet every bit as powerful, the album rewards repeated listening as its richly textured songs gradually reveal their depth.
Widely regarded as one of the defining albums of American Punk Blues, Miami remains an essential LP for fans of The Gun Club, Roots Rock, Psychobilly and the darker side of Rock 'n' Roll.
