The Boatman's Call (1997)

Nick Cave and The Bad Seeds

Rock

Buy from Amazon.com

Rating 8/10

Buy from Amazon.com

On this album Nick Cave decided to change the subject of his songs. Most of his previous works were devoted to murder and death. "The Boatman's Call" is an attempt to find love amid the ashes of the world. And Nick finds it: perhaps it's a strange, twisted, doomed love, but love nevertheless. With only the sparest accompaniment - piano or organ, light percussion and violin, Cave employs traditional folk song structure and simplicity to weave addened tales. Melancholy mood communicates to you by digress, song by song. It is an excellent feeling. Nick Cave is one of my favorite artists and this album among my favorites.
