But <em>Tender Prey<\/em> is a really good one and I suppose I shouldn&#8217;t complain. The usual Bad Seeds suspects are here including Kid Congo Powers who was in another band I really liked, The Gun Club. The biggest hit is &#8220;The Mercy Seat&#8221; and if you haven&#8217;t heard Johnny Cash&#8217;s version check it out. He makes the lyrics sound even more grim. Another &#8220;hit&#8221; is &#8220;Deanna,&#8221; which I really like, but my favorite may be &#8220;City of Refuge.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Mary and I went to see Nick on tour for <em>Tender Prey<\/em> at the 9:30 Club in D.C. I remember digging the show, and seeing Blixa in person was very cool. But the most salient moment for me is when Nick first walked out on stage in his trim dark suit with a bottle of water and exclaimed with a big smile &#8220;I feel great!&#8221; Not the first thing I expected Nick Cave to say.<\/p>\n<p>Some facts about <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Tender_Prey\">Tender Prey<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Artist: Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds Title: Tender Prey Year: 1988 Format: Vinyl 12 in.
