Concrete Blonde - Bloodletting (French Quarter Mix)

Concrete Blonde was an American alternative rock band from Hollywood, California. They were initially active from 1982 to 1994, and reunited twice: first from 2001 to 2004, and again from 2010 to 2012. They were best known for their album Bloodletting (1990), its top 20 single "Joey", and Johnette Napolitano's distinctive vocal style. Bloodletting (1990) was the band's third album and became their most commercially successful, reaching #4 in Canada, #8 in Australia, #49 in the United States. It was certified Gold in the United States and Australia. Roxy Music drummer Paul Thompson replaced a former drummer on Bloodletting. The album marks a shift for the band toward gothic rock. It features guest appearances by R.E.M.'s Peter Buck and Wall of Voodoo's Andy Prieboy. Concrete Blonde lead vocalist Johnette Napolitano said of the album: "It was pretty miserable. It's not a happy little disc. We had a string of bad luck and [Bloodletting] was the tail end of it. A particularly bad relationship. It had never happened to me until I was 29 years old. I had a hard time getting over it. So, it's not a happy record, but I could do two things: I could make a self-indulgent record, which is what this is, or I could lock up all these songs in a closet and do something that wasn't sincere. This will never happen again, this record." I do not own any content. Any copyright infringement is not intended.
