IHAVETHATONVINYL – Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds' "Henry's Dream"

The record opens with a killer double-punch of quickfire anthems, ‘Papa Won’t Leave You Henry’ ostensibly begun as a melody Cave would sing over the cradle of his then-infant son, Luke, it becomes a monstrous nightmare following his experiences of living in Sao-Paulo, Brasil with visions of death squads, hit-squads and toxic sludge sewage outbreaks. https://ihavethatonvinyl.com/.../the-nightmare.../...
