Album: The Gift of Music
Year: 1984
I don’t know if any of the 1980s Jazz Butcher albums are still in print or anything, but if so, the place to start is 1985’s The Gift of Music compilation, which collected the various singles they’d recorded over the past two years.
Nearly every song on The Gift of Music is pretty great, from the cannibalistic garage-y stomp of “Zombie Love,” & “JB v PM,” the sad hilarity of “Water” & “Drink,” and the well-placed covers of “Sweet Jane” and (especially) “Roadrunner.”
And then there’s “Rain.”
