The Gun Club: Ghost On The Highway
1981


Formed in 1980 in Los Angeles by the president of the Blondie fan club, Jeffrey Lee Pierce. But The Gun Club didn’t sound anything like Blondie, in fact they didn’t sound like anyone else at the time. They mixed Blues, Country and Rockabilly playing them with the energy and simplicity of Punk. Their influence can be heard in bands from The White Strips to R.E.M. though a multitude of Alt Country bands.  Ghost On The Highway was their first single. Released by Beggars Banquet, licensed from Ruby Records. Both Ghost On The Highway and the B-Side (Sex Beat) were written by Jeffrey Lee Pierce.
