Bang! Records re-release of Jeffrey Lee Pierce's "Six String Sermon", a deluxe edition LP with gatefold sleeve and booklet.

In 1980, right before the recording of THE GUN CLUB's mighty debut "The Fire Of Love", Jeffrey Lee Pierce did a handful of solo acoustic recordings based on his fascination for Mississippi Delta Blues.

And this is what this record sounds like. Jeffrey Lee Pierce doing a review of classic blues.

Raw, bitter and straight to your (dark) heart. This record means the purest bluesy face of the leader of The Gun Club.

Acoustic rural blues done in the old classic way of the Delta of the Mississippi, recorded in the very early 80s.

This album contains a 16 pages booklet with exklusive photographies and the inestimable collaboration of friends and people who surrounded Jeffrey Lee Pierce, speaking about their times and memories with him, amongst which are Nick Cave, Mark Lanegan, Tex Perkins, Kid Congo Powers, Henry Rollins etc.

Blues is the The Gun Club's soul.
