Description
The Bees Made Honey in the Lions Skull is the fifth full-length studio album by the band Earth.
Bill Frisell is a guest on the album, playing guitar on tracks one, four, and five. The title is a reference to Judges 14:8 in the Bible. It tells the story of Samson, who tore apart a lion and when he returned, noticed a swarm of bees and some honey on the lions carcass.
The album continues the trend of Earth songs being named, at least in part, after phrases from the Cormac McCarthy book Blood Meridian (for example, Hung from the Moon and Engine of Ruin).
This version of The Bees Made Honey in the Lions Skull comes packaged in a faux leather cover that emulates a old bible. Inside this book is another Stoughton gatefold jacket.
