Nick Cave "The Boatman's Call" (1997)

Is the cult of Nick Cave still such a big thing?  Hmmm.... I must admit that I prefer my Nick Cave as a twisted balladeer, rather than as a rocker. 

Unfortunately this album still needs some work.  While it is at times absolutely wonderful, there are many times when the words are clumsy and awkward.  It's a shame, because with more work, this could have been as good as Leonard Cohen, & other A listers.
