The Gun Club - (1994) - Idiot Waltz
He was born in my same year (the cursed '58) in Montebello (around Los Angeles County, in the States, towards the southwest of the San Gabriel Valley), homeland of the Uto-Aztec people belonging to the family of Native Americans called "Tongva", who used to live in cubic structures with straw roofs, where both men and women had their bodies tattooed, wore long hair, and usually dressed in animal skins during all seasons, except for men who almost completely undressed in winter. Unfortunately, as in many other cases, European diseases killed countless Tongva, so much so that by 1870 the area they inhabited was populated by only a few natives.
From a young age, he loved reggae, Robert Johnson with his delta blues, rock'n'roll à la Bo Diddley, and why not? also the folk rock of Mr. Dylan.
Around his twenties, he founded his first band "The Creeping Ritual" with guitarist Kid Congo Powers, which changed its name to "The Gun Club" in '80, and over the next two years, they released their first and only two albums before leaving us at just 37 years old, due to a cursed brain hemorrhage in Salt Lake City, Utah, homeland of the Native Americans "Shoshone", "Ute" and "Paiute," and here the circle closes... his name was Jeffrey Lee Pierce.
