JEFFREY LEE PIERCE ALBUM WITH JJR TRACK RELEASED NEXT WEEK

Our UK tour also coincides with the release of The Jeffrey Lee Pierce Sessions Project: The Journey is Long which features a track by The ‘Revue. This is a unique album that pays tribute to the legacy of Jeffrey Lee Pierce & his band The Gun Club which features a stellar cast of musicians interpreting unrecorded JLP songs including Nick Cave, Debbie Harry, Mark Lanegan, Warren Ellis, Lydia Lunch, Tav Falco, Barry Adamson, Tex Perkins and Mick Harvey among many others.  The JJR are huge JLP and Gun Club fans and are very excited & honored to be part of this project. The band’s track ‘Ain’t My Problem Baby” closes the album in typically raucous fashion-Check out this version on You Tube from our show at Shepherds Bush Empire last October…..
