Exclusive: Jeffrey Lee Pierce, frontman singer of seminal La punk rock band The Gun Club, is the subject of a new feature documentary.
Elvis From Hell will tell the story of Pierce, a tragic but influential figure who died at 37, due to complications from heroin addiction, alcoholism and HIV.
The Gun Club, which was a key influence on bands such as R.E.M, Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds, Sonic Youth and The White Stripes, released seven studio albums between 1981 and 1993. It was started by Pierce, who was the president of Blondie’s U.S. fan club, whose lead singer Debbie Harry was a longtime supporter.

1963
Johnny Cash: Blood, Sweat and Tears (Columbia)
Some of Cash's '60s concept albums were burdened with much too talking between tracks; here the tribute to the American working man gets to mostly stand alone on its musical merits, and shines.
