Combining manic, roots-influenced raving with decadent Brechtian Artsong, Cave comes off like the Australian Jeffrey Lee Pierce. Obsessed with the dark edges of Americana, he tackles the Presley myth (also referenced by the album's title) on '\u003cem\u003eTupelo\u003c\/em\u003e,' delivers an ode to '\u003cstrong\u003eBlind Lemon Jefferson\u003c\/strong\u003e' and gleefully dismembers \u003cstrong\u003eDylan\u003c\/strong\u003e's outlaw ballad '\u003cem\u003eWanted Man\u003c\/em\u003e.' On the artier side, the cabaretish '\u003cem\u003eThe Moon is in the Gutter\u003c\/em\u003e' displays the lyrical agility that would soon become a Cave trademark.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mute \/ BMG","offers":[{"title":"CD","offer_id":56458326442329,"sku":"SDZ-25742","price":13.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0588\/3455\/0945\/files\/Nick_Cave_And_The_Bad_Seeds_-_The_First_Born_Is_Dead_-_CD_Digisleeve_-_2025_Reissue.jpg?v=1761227512","url":"https:\/\/spindizzyrecords.com\/products\/nick-cave-and-the-bad-seeds-the-first-born-is-dead-reissue","provider":"Spindizzy Dublin","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
