- C - Nick Cave

Back to Australia and Nick Cave who started out fronting the Birthday Party; since 1984 he's been lead singer with the Bad Seeds plus his Grinderman project.

Possibly the most unlikely collaboration to date was with Kylie Minogue whose track Where the wild roses grow  features on the essential purchase Murder Ballads that has just had the re-release treatment including a bonus dvd.

I doubt you will find a more miserable and blood thirsty collection of songs delivered with such a menacing growl that is so utterly addictive. I've collected a few of Nick Caves's albums over the years but none has required as many plays as these Ballads.
