Morphine - Cure For Pain (1993)
This Boston three piece make quite the racket, albeit a beautiful one - and it’s all done on a two string slide bass, saxophone and drums.
commentsSome might say that Morphine, a rowdy trio from Boston, are a bit of a one trick pony.
Comprising of singer/slide bass player Mark Sandman, Dana Colley on tenor and baritone sax and drummer, Jerome Dupree, it certainly feels “samey” through out. But hey, it’s a great debut record that simply highlights their unique idiosyncrasies over its entirety.
They’d go on to make several more good to great records before Mark Sandman died during a performance in Rome at the age of 46.
