Night of the Wolverine, the third album from Dave Graney 'n' the Coral Snakes, slunk out on Mercury in April 1993, and it's as louche and knowing as the man whose name is on the cover. Graney croons and drawls through it like a lounge lizard who has read one pulp novel too many, while the Coral Snakes keep things smoky and supple. Clare Moore, who is also Graney's wife, handles the kit and the hand percussion; Robin Casinader switches between keys, violin and mandolin; Rob Hayward plays lead guitar and Andrew Picouleau holds down the bass. Tony Cohen produced, and the record has a late-night, dimly lit glow.
Tex Perkins of the Cruel Sea, their tour mates, steps in to sing lead on "Night of the Wolverine II", with Amanda Mitchell on backing vocals, and "You're Just Too Hip, Baby" struts with a raised eyebrow. The album picked up an ARIA nomination for Best Alternative Release in 1994.
