"Gentlemen" is the title track of the Afghan Whigs' 1993 album, and it belongs to Greg Dulli from top to bottom: he wrote the music and the words, produced it, and mixed it alongside Jeff Powell, who engineered it with John Hampton. That kind of control shows in the result, a taut, brooding rocker where the guitars coil and snap around Dulli's raw, accusing voice.
