Album: Jesus Wept
Year: 1995
One of the things that kept coming up as I did the research for these P.M. Dawn posts was just how slagged they were at the time for being out of step with what was going on with early 1990’s hip-hop.
And yeah, by the time of their third album, 1995’s Jesus Wept — named, of course, after the shortest verse in The Bible — if P.M. Dawn had very little in common with their hip-hop contemporaries, they also had little in common with anyone else, as their best songs are a psychedelic stew of hip-hop, soul, rock and gospel, and sound amazing all these years later.
