The blues had long been a potent undercurrent in the Birthday Party's music, so it wasn't all that surprising that Nick Cave embraced the sound and feeling of rural blues on his second album with the Bad Seeds, The Firstborn Is Dead. What was startling was how well Cave and his bandmates, Barry Adamson, Mick Harvey, and Blixa Bargeld, were able to absorb and honor the influences of artists like Skip James and Charley Patton while creating a sound that was unmistakably their own.
