Well, my attention deficit disorder is kicking in. I though it would help me organize my thoughts & determine my choices by posting musick in alphabetical order. Now I'm getting bored with the procedure. So today I'm hitting three letters all at once...I-ggy Pop, J-ames Williamson, & K-ill City.
After the second break-up of The Stooges (the first break-up & reformation added Williamson to The Stooges as Ron Asheton moved from guitar to bass & Dave Alexander moved from alcoholic to dead), Iggy & James recorded Kill City. This disc is somewhere in the no-mans land between The Stooges & Iggy's solo career. Although maligned by many (mostly for its less than stellar production values), this is by far my favorite post-Stooges work by Mr. Pop (& really damn good considering Iggy was in drug rehab at the time).
Released in 1977 by Bomp Records. All tunes written by Iggy Pop & James Williamson except "Master Charge" by James Williamson & Scott Thurston.
Players on this album are: Iggy Pop - vocals; James Williamson - guitar; Scott Thurston - keyboards, bass, backing vocals, special effects, & harmonica; Brian Glasscock - drums, congas, African beaters, backing vocals, & guiro; Steve Tranio - bass; Tony Sales - backing vocals & bass; Hunt Sales - backing vocals & drums; John Harden - saxophone; & Gayna (from the Count Dracula Society) - backing vocals on "Night Theme".
