"Going to Town" followed "Honky's Ladder" as a single from Black Love, the fifth Afghan Whigs album, released in March 1996 on Elektra and Sub Pop in America and Mute in Europe; in the US it also came out as the Bonnie & Clyde EP. Greg Dulli wrote it, sings it and produced the album.
Black Love grew out of a movie that never happened. Dulli had seriously looked into making a film noir, going as far as optioning at least one book, and when the picture never got made, his ideas for its soundtrack turned into these songs. Rick McCollum plays guitar, John Curley bass and Paul Buchignani drums, with guests Happy Chichester on clavinet, Barbara Hunter on cello and Shawn Smith on backing vocals.
