Life, Death And Dennis Hopper [Psychedelic Waves Color Vinyl] (LP)
The Waterboys
Amoeba Review
The Waterboys are back with the bold, brilliant Life, Death And Dennis Hopper. The album centers around — yes — Dennis Hopper, viewing the legendary actor's life as a sort of microcosm of several decades in American culture. The songs explore his life and times, from Rebel Without a Cause to Andy Warhol and pop art, charting a course through hippie culture, the civil rights movement, and the psychedelic era. With guest appearances from Bruce Springsteen, Steve Earle, Anana Kaye, Barny Fletcher, Sugarfoot, Taylor Goldsmith (Dawes), Kathy Valentine (The Go-Go’s), Patti Palladin, and Fiona Apple, it's a sensationall, smart, and surprising journey through the last few decades.
