Kicking Against the Pricks is a great testament to just how creative Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds are with approaching covers. Blues standards like I'm Gonna Kill That Woman and Hey Joe are given such dark, demented renditions that they scarcely resemble their original versions (the latter frankly blows away Jimi Hendrix's version), and even the more faithful covers (The Singer, Sleeping Annaleah) maintain the dark, creepy mood.

Doing a covers album for the band's third LP was bizarre. What was stranger still was that this album-long foray into Americana sounds less competent than "The Firstborn is Dead", a highly impressive foray into Americana released just a year earlier. Best Song: 'The Singer'
