Music reviews of The Las Vegas Story
Music Review: Their masterpiece
Rating: 5 Stars
A true gem of an album when it was released in 1984, it's re-release on cd is overdue and is a must for anyone even mildly curious about The Gun Club. Jeffrey Lee Pierce's unique, emotional, and beautifully discordant vocal style is showcased perfectly by the mainly Pierce-penned lyrics and musicians in this line-up(Kid Congo Powers and Patricia Morrison being the best known).The cover of Gerschwin's "My Mans Gone", will fail to move you only if you are made of stone, but the rest is guitar-led with instantly memorable rhythms, perfectly complemented by Kid Congo's slide and lead. Championed at the time of release by Debbie Harry, the cd name-checks Chris
Stein for his help in this re-release.The only minor complaint is that there is no reproduction of the lyrics in the inner sleeve,present on the vinyl release.This is USA rock at it's purest and finest, not contaminated by commercialism nor airbrushed production.An underrated classic, and one of my favourite albums of all time

Description of The Las Vegas Story
Digitally remastered and expanded edition of this 1984 album from the tribal Psychobilly Blues band fronted by Jeffrey Lee Pierce, including a bonus live CD. The Las Vegas Story was possibly the most complete and unrushed Gun Club LP. Produced by Jeff Eyrich, this LP saw the band experiment more with covering show tunes like Gershwin's 'My Man's Gone Now' and a killer take on Pharaoh Sanders' 'The Creator Has A Master Plan'. Yet another raved about LP in the press, The Las Vegas Story was the icing on the cake in the Gun Clubs early carrier. This release features the album in all its glory plus a bonus CD featuring a complete live show of the band from 1984. Cooking Vinyl. 2009.Alternative Rock CDs
