From The Birthday Party through to the Bad Seeds, Australia's own Nick Cave has embraced the obscure alongside the commercially bizarre. His choice of songs to cover or reinvent is unique in reflecting his unwavering love of music. This collection of 22 varied cuts travels from rock 'n' roll through swamp voodoo to blues, gospel, country, hokey hillbilly and folk, doffing a cap to murder ballads, tales of yearning and loss and the sensuality of other's lives. Nick Cave, in his various incarnations has taken us many places and this collection brings together some of the inspiration for those journeys.
