The Afghan Whigs' Gentlemen

Zusatztext From explaining how the eerie hum which opens the first track was achieved by dangling a microphone out of a car window while driving over a bridge in the band's hometown of Cincinnati, to the story of how the evocative cover was inspired and photographed, Gedron covers in unpretentious detail the recording, production, arrangement and lyrics of this album by nineties alternative rock band The Afghan Whigs. He uses interviews with all the band members to examine the musicians' influences, personal drama, and lifestyle, and to provide a window into the creative process of a group of musicians at the top of their game. This pocket-sized volume makes a nice afternoon read for the music fan for whom liner notes are simply not enough.

And that's where I come in." --Greg Dulli, introducing "When We Two Parted" onstage in San Francisco Like no record before or since, Gentlemen is fraught with the psychological warfare, bedroom drama, Catholic guilt, reprehensible deception and uncleansable shame that coincide with relationships gone seriously wrong.
