(The) Afghan Whigs' new single and video, House Of I, is just what I needed after three consecutive days of headaches, both literally and metaphorical.
When I marked Greg Dulli's birthday in May 2023, I reflected that "I wasn't immediately struck by The Afghan Whigs
- or Dulli's voice - when I first heard them, but it's fair to say that
a combination of great tunes, incisive lyrics and sheer swagger won me
over."
I'd go a step further in saying that as a songwriter and performer Greg seems to get better and better with the passage of time, and House Of I is as vital and thrilling as anything in the Whigs' back catalogue.
Speaking of which, a good excuse to roll out some Dulli delectables from both The Afghan Whigs and his other excursions, which in itself offers me an opportunity to include a couple featuring the legendary Mark Lanegan.
