715.0. "Morphine" by CANON::PRATT () Wed Jun 07 1995 13:29

I'm really happy with a CD I bought recently called "Cure For Pain" by the
group Morphine.  I think it's their second of three albums.  

This band is a trio from Boston - bass player/singer, drummer, and saxophone 
player. The singer's voice is very deep and warm. It sounds as one with the 
thick, earthy sounds of the baritone saxophone and bass. The lyrics are moody 
and edgy, as is the music.

Could someone shed more light (and opinions) on this band Morphine?

		Thanks.

    As if their instrumentation isn't odd enough... the bass player only
    uses two strings.
    
    They certainly are different.  I like them.

715.2Treat Her Right / MorphineBITZEE::CLAYWhen Did Yanni Start Race'nWed Jun 07 1995 16:123
    At least one of the members of Morphine were in the band Treat Her
    Right including Mark Sandman(lead singer). If you like Morphine check out "Treat Her
    Right" They sound similar.

    If you want to know more about the band, I think there is an article
    in the new June 29th edition of Rolling Stone Mag.
