Riot City Blues

Description

Riot City Blues is the eighth studio album by Primal Scream, released in 2006. On this album, Primal Scream leaves its electronic element behind and returns to more traditional Rock & Roll. The album features Will Sergeant (Echo & the Bunnymen) on When The Bomb Drops and Little Death, Warren Ellis (Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds, Dirty Three) on Hells Coming Down and Alison Mosshart (The Kills) adding vocals to Dolls (Sweet Rock and Roll) and Suicide Sally & Johnny Guitar.

One can hear traces of not only the Small Faces but everything from early Alice Cooper (à la Killer) to Mott the Hoople, David Bowie, the Kinks, the New York Dolls, and a whole lot of other Rock & Roll bands. The debut single, Country Girl, became the bands highest charting in their career, while the album charted at #5 in the UK. Dolls (Sweet Rock and Roll) and Sometimes I Feel So Lonely were also released as singles in 2006.
