Idiot Prayer (Nick Cave Alone at the Alexandra Palace)

[Iguana]

Released to streaming, CD and vinyl yesterday.

This was recorded and filmed back in July. It's just Nick on the piano singing selections from his back catalogue and it's GORGEOUS. Absolutely wonderful for a winter night walk.



I only really know their stuff well from Abattoir Blues onwards so there's quite a bit that's new to me. My highlights on first listen are (Are You) the One That I've Been Waiting For and The Mercy Seat.

I'll give this a listen. Nick Cave is someone I want to get into, but I only know his collaboration with Kylie and Into My Arms (one of the best ever love songs)

It's a bit like a whole album of Into My Arms so I'd have thought you'd probably quite enjoy it!

Sounds amazing! Idiot Prayer is a great name too
