Black Love, the Afghan Whigs' 1996 album, came out on Elektra on March 12 with Greg Dulli producing his own band. The Cincinnati crew had started out as a garage band and come up alongside grunge, but by now they were soaking their rock in R&B and soul, and this record smolders accordingly: slow-burn grooves, guitars that coil instead of crash, and Dulli sounding like a man with bad intentions and no plans to apologize.
Dulli, lead guitarist Rick McCollum and bassist John Curley were the core, with Paul Buchignani in the lineup at the time. "Going To Town" and "Honky's Ladder" are the songs that made the countdowns, and next up was 1965.
