One Man’s Treasure/Two of Diamonds

Description

Mick Harvey’s acclaimed ‘One Man’s Treasure’, originally released in 2005, is a collection of original tracks alongside covers of tracks chosen for Mick’s personal connection with each track. These covers include ‘First St. Blues’ by country-pop singer Lee Hazelwood, Tim Buckley’s ‘The River’, and ‘Mother of Earth’ by Jeffrey Lee Pierce of The Gun Club. The second album included is Harvey’s ‘Two of Diamonds’, released in 2007. Following the positive reaction to ‘One Man’s Treasure’, Harvey was reinvigorated to record a new album. This time his band accompanied him: Rosie Westbrook (double bass) and fellow Bad Seeds James Johnston (organ and guitar) and Thomas Wydler (drums), along with guest musicians Rob Ellis from PJ Harvey’s band (piano/drums) and Julitha Ryan (piano) of Melbourne’s Silver Ray. In true Mick Harvey fashion, ‘Two of Diamonds’ is an eclectic collection of songs: obscure classics combined with original Harvey compositions, including ‘Out of Time Man’ which featured prominently in various TV Series including ‘Breaking Bad’, ‘Orphan Black’ and ‘The Tourist’.
