In the early '90s, Morphine turned the power trio genre on its head. Armed with Mark Sandman's baritone vocals, laconic two-string slide bass and Beat-fueled poetry, Dana Colley's multi-tracked saxophone and Billy Conway's perfectly placed drums, Cure For Pain remains one of the pinnacle albums of the late 20th century.
"Unquestionably one of the best and most cutting-edge rock releases of the '90s." - Allmusic
Released on vinyl as the second title on Light In The Attic’s Modern Classics Recordings imprint. Featuring the essential songs “Buena,” “Sheila,” “Candy,” and the moving title-track “Cure For Pain,” this is the album’s first-ever U.S. vinyl issue.
Yeah, yeah - whatever. Fella turned me on to Morphine one time, at his store. I was in because it was an awesome shop. Was buying a turntable...at the counter I asked for some wicked new bass ladened music, with that knowing groove. He handed me the Cure for Pain tape, I bought it. Best decision ever. Now I have the vinyl. Sweeeeeet nuggets.
Some knuckle-head dropped the album at the store, right-lower corner dented. I ain't even mad.
