Why do Nick Cave and his band sound drunk in their recording of Tower of Song?
Because they were. Vin Locke (vin@crl.com): I remember reading a piece of an interview with Cave a few months after “I’m Your Fan” came out. He said (re IYF) that “these tribute” albums are always horrible, so they didn’t take it seriously. So, the guys went to the pub across the street, got drunk, then went back into the studio and did their treatment of Tower of Song in one take.
