Parental Warning: This Is An Iggy Pop Record! Brand new sealed album with 180 Gram Hype Sticker on shrink.
(2-LP set)
"American Caesar" was originally released in 1993, a couple of
years after the all star "comeback" album "Brick By
Brick", the double album found Iggy returning to the studio for the
follow up with his muscular, tight touring band and they made what is
arguably his best solo record since "New Values" in the 1970s. The
dark, loud and subtly atmospheric record was recorded in New Orleans with
Producer Malcolm Burn. "American Caesar" finds Iggy exploring the
dark heart of America in songs that range from all out hard rock such as
"Wild America" and "Sickness" to calmer numbers like
"Jealousy" and "Mixin' The Colors". Iggy also puts his
stamp on the rock classic "Louie Louie" and makes it his own with
some lyrical updating.
He ends the record with the funny and brutal spoken word "Caesar"
in which Iggy plays a U.S. version of the ancient leaders of the Roman
Empire. This is most definitely an Iggy Pop record and a hidden gem in his
catalog. Includes a previously unavailable insert with an image of Iggy on
one side and the lyrics on the other.
