CYPRESS GROVE - GUITARIST/SINGER/SONGWRITER

About Me

DOCUMENTARY ON JEFFREY LEE PIERCE (feat. Cypress Grove & Nick Cave) Directed by Henri-Jean Debon NOW ON DVD !!..I have been in many bands over the years, but I am probably best known for my work with The Gun Club legend Jeffery Lee Pierce. In addition to making the blues album “Ramblin’ Jeffrey Lee and Cypress Grove with Willie Love” in 1992, Jeffrey and me toured together as a duet in 1994. It was in fact to be Jeffrey’s last ever tour. We did a lot of stuff from the album, plus some Gun Club stuff and some other covers. Anyway, all the shows were recorded, and a live album of that final tour is coming out. I get asked a lot of questions about what is happening with the album, so I thought here might be a good place to answer them! It is to be called “Spanish Flang Dang” and will feature performances from most of the shows. Me and Edwin (the tour manager) spent many hours listening to all the DAT’s, and think we have pretty much come up with the best stuff – although as always, opinions may differ on that. At the moment the album release is delayed due to legal issues, but hopefully these should be resolved very soon.www.myspace.com/cypressgroveandthesignifiers Click Here .

A new documentary on Jeffrey Lee Pierce - a review by Gene Temesy

There is a new documentary on Jeffrey Lee Pierce out by French Film maker Henri-Jean Debon, entitled "Hard Times Killin' Floor Blues." It's an apt reference to Jeffrey's then state of being, as well ...

New Song

I have recorded a new swampy version of "Secret Fires" with the inestimable Monsieur Willie Love (per)cussing like a demon. Hope you all like it.
