“Mute Witness” by Morrissey
From the album Kill Uncle (1991)
“Mute Witness” by Morrissey appears on 1 radio countdown from 1 station in 1991. It was first released in 1991 on the album Kill Uncle. Its best result is #879 on the CFNY Top 1002 Songs of All-Time (1991 Edition). In the combined RockLists rankings it is #6,955 alternative song of all time.
"Mute Witness" sits on Kill Uncle, Morrissey's second solo album, which EMI and His Master's Voice put out on March 4, 1991. Most of that record's tunes came from Mark E. Nevin, the Fairground Attraction guitarist, but this one is Clive Langer's, and Langer also produced the album with Alan Winstanley. Morrissey wrote the words and sings them.
It's a record caught between chapters: Stephen Street had left the producer's chair, and the guitar team of Alain Whyte and Boz Boorer that would carry him for years was still around the corner. The album took its name from Let's Kill Uncle, a black comedy from 1966, and "Our Frank" went out ahead of it as the single.
