PJ HARVEY Released One Of Her Best Albums ‘TO BRING YOU MY LOVE’ 30 Years Ago Today

The ever amazing PJ HARVEY released her 3rd LP TO BRING YOU MY LOVE
on 27 February 1995, 30 years ago today. Her first collaboration with John Parish.

It was her breakthrough longplayer, heavily promoted by her major label Island
Records. In my book one of her best achievements. All killers, no fillers. Intense,
sensual, compelling high-quality songwriting. The album reached #12 in the UK
and #40 in the US.

Rolling Stone wrote at the time: “Harvey has ambitions to remake rock & roll and
its myths in her own guise. So what’s this young, white, bluesdrenched woman doing?
In attempting to create a sexual landscape as charged as the Midnight Rambler’s,
Harvey envisions a teeming underworld where she is victim, aggressor and accomplice,
song by song.” Full review here – Score: 4/5

PJ HARVEY Invited JOHNNY MARR On Stage For 3 Songs Last Night In Manchester

Posted on by JL

Last July PJ HARVEY released her 10th album, titled
I Inside the Old Year Dying (you can stream it below).

NME said: “The Dorset-born musician’s first album since 2016 is both elusive
and mesmerising. It takes a little time to immerse yourself in Harvey’s world,
but once there, you won’t want to leave.”

She’s on tour now to promote the album. Last night, she played
the 2nd of two consecutive nights at the Albert Hall in Manchester.

PJ invited former The Smiths‘ guitar hero Johnny Marr (who joins
someone on stage every other week) for these 3 (old) songs.

– C’MON BILLY – 
(From 1995 album ‘Bring You My Love’)

– WHITE CHALK –
(Title track from her 2007 LP)

– THE DESPERATE KINGDOM OF LOVE –
(From 2004 album ‘Uh Uh Her’)

Clips with a lasting impact on Turn Up The Volume’s eyes and ears…

‘C’mon Billy’ by PJ HARVEY
A journalist described Harvey in the video clip as
a ‘sadomasochistic dominatrix in blood-red dress’.
Sounds like a pretty accurate description to me.
