‘Eagle Eye Ball’ meanwhile, wears the influence of Sclavunos most clearly, shaped around a guitar riff that resembles the alarm that tells you your submarine is sinking. ‘Chain Gang’ slows things to a sloping, atmospheric sludge, the kind of thing you can imagine being played in a sleazy dive bar as two gangs eye each other up before it all kicks off. It’s when they step off that beaten track that things get really interesting.

That track in particular is pretty textbook Jim Jones Revue, all pounding piano and tight guitar lines, and at least half of the other tracks on The Savage Heart follow a similar path. Listen to him let rip on ‘Where Da Money Go?’ and you’d be happy to reveal exactly where it’s all hidden. He might not be as verbose as Cave, but there’s a terrific directness to his delivery and a frenzied assuredness that’s all his own.

Just like its predecessor, The Savage Heart has been produced by Jim Sclavunos, drummer in Grinderman and The Bad Seeds, and it’s fair to say that there’s something of Nick Cave’s savage yelp in Jones’ own vocals. There’s still an over-riding sense that these tracks are waiting to be heard on stage before they can truly take flight, but there’s still plenty here to suggest that The Jim Jones Revue are more than beefed up rock and roll revisionists. On The Savage Heart, the band’s third studio LP, Jones and his cohorts have broadened their scope a little, adding to the frenzied blues stomp they’ve become known for with forays into doo-wop ballads and call-and-response hollers. When you’re known for being a formidable live band, how do you approach a studio album? Is it an unwelcome distraction from getting up on stage, or a place to stretch your wings and reveal another side to your story? That’s the dilemma that The Jim Jones Revue have faced so far in their career, as they’ve built up a reputation for being one of the most ferocious rock and roll bands around, without really making a massive dent in many people’s record collections.
