There are some people who believe the best album Iggy Pop released in 1977 had nothing to do with David Bowie. While The Idiot and Lust For Life get all the attention, there's a third album that was released by Bomp! in November of 1977. Kill City was recorded with ex-Stooge guitarist James Williamson in 1975 on weekends when Iggy was given permission to leave his mental hospital.where he was receiving treatment for his heroin addiction.
Iggy's state of mind comes through on the title track: 'Livin' here in Kill City / where debris meets the sea/It's a playground to the rich / it's a loaded gun to me'
More raw than Raw Power, more Alice Cooper than punk rock. . The Wire included Kill City in their list of '100 Records That Set the World on Fire (While No One Was Listening)'
