Description: The Gun Club - Fire of Love - New 2xCD Deluxe Edition - Punk Classic! - Ships Fast!!! Fire of Love is the debut album of the American rock band the Gun Club, first released in 1981 on Ruby Records. The album is considered groundbreaking in being the first of its kind to combine the hard, stripped-down sound of punk rock with American roots music. In turn, this innovation helped to create the punk blues style as well as inspiring countless garage rock musicians. Many notable musicians have cited Fire of Love as an influence. In a 1982 Trouser Press review, Jim Green argues that the band "have wrought nothing less than a mutation of the blues." He says the band "extracts from the blues those elements (anger, frustration, vivid imagery) most resonant with the disaffections of a modern young white [man]. Songwriter Pierce adds his own cynicism and wildness for a heady and often compelling combination." Green concludes, "[t]he Gun Club relies on no strict formulas yet it is undeniably the blues that is being transmuted into a medium for Pierce's dark visions and neuroses." The album was also included in the book 1001 Albums You Must Hear Before You Die. In 2006, "Sex Beat" appeared on the soundtrack to the video game Scarface: The World Is Yours. This 2 Disc Deluxe Edition release contains the original album with and additional 10 bonus tracks. Also included is a bonus disc of a live band performance by the band in 1981. This is an absolute classic of early American punk rock, and definitely not to be missed!
