So we made a record that was steeped in the blues but didn’t really have anything to do with the blues on a musical level, Nick Cave recalled of the Bad Seeds’ second album in 2008. The Firstborn is Dead is an achievement as remarkable as it was ambitious. The idea of an Australian post-punk group recording an introspection of the Deep South in 1985 wasn’t as far-fetched as it would seem today, with Led Zeppelin’s blues-derivatives a reassuring precedent. Still, it seemed a risky goal given the easy iconography that the South offered.
