Iggy Pop and James Williamson Kill City Again
. Recorded in 1975 and originally released in 1977, the album captured a decadent and despairing time in Iggy's post-Stooges career, but also unleashed a fiercely defiant, guitar-driven approach to rock 'n' roll that proved to be remarkably influential for countless bands to follow. The album's sonic envelope-pushing was somewhat muted however by a sludgy mix and a poor pressing on green vinyl. Those problems have been addressed on the re-issue, which was restored, remixed and remastered by guitarist Williamson himself, working with A-list engineer Ed Cherney. "Kill City was by all measures a desperate effort, a singularly honest and heartfelt performance, a genuine progression of our song writing, and another in a long line of flops that were later resurrected and heralded as masterpieces," Williamson said in a Bomp! press release. "By the time it was released as a record, both Iggy and I were off doing other things with our lives, but with this re-release we are not only reunited in our musical endeavors but in our appreciation of this album, its remix, and its importance to us as artists." - more on this story Gibson.com is an official news provider for the Day in Rock.
