Listen To ‘Nobody’s City’ – Iggy Pop, Nick Cave, Thurston Moore On Jeffrey Lee Pierce Tribute

Iggy Pop, Nick Cave, and Thurston Moore have joined forces on a cover of “Nobody’s City” for Axels & Sockets: The Jeffrey Lee Pierce Sessions Project, to be released May 5 on Glitterhouse Records. The Guardian writes, “The track makes a roof-raising start to the project that brings together Jeffrey’s old friends, fans and band members to keep aloft the name of the Gun Club leader.”

“Jeffrey Lee Pierce!” There’s no mistaking the first voice to be heard on Axels & Sockets, the third volume of the Jeffrey Lee Pierce Sessions Project. It’s Iggy Pop’s celebratory holler on the opening track, “Nobody’s City.” He’s then joined by further inimitable tones from Nick Cave and Thurston Moore, whose incendiary guitar jousts with Pierce’s original riff. This is then welded together by Bad Seeds drummer Jim Sclavunos, who had previously worked with Iggy on a Cramps tribute album.
