2015 EU reissue vinyl LP

The 1997 Boatman's Call is one of his finest albums and arguably the masterpiece he has been promising throughout his career - Murder Ballads brought Nick Cave's morbidity to near-parodic levels, which makes the disarmingly frank and introspective songs of The Boatman's Call all the more startling.

Tracks:
A1 Into My Arms
A2 Lime-Tree Arbour
A3 People Ain't No Good
A4 Brompton Oratory
A5 There Is A Kingdom
A6 Where Do We Go Now But Nowhere?

B1 (Are You) The One That I've Been Waiting For?
B2 West Country Girl
B3 Black Hair
B4 Idiot Prayer
B5 Far From Me
B6 Green Eyes

Cave performed "Into My Arms" at the 1997 funeral of INXS vocalist Michael Hutchence, an old friend from Cave's youth, and requested that the TV cameras be shut off for his performance out of respect for Hutchence. The song "People Ain't No Good" was also featured in the movie Shrek 2. The song “There Is A Kingdom” was featured in the movie Zack Snyder's Justice League. In October 2010, the album was listed in the top 30 in the book, 100 Best Australian Albums.
