"Dirty Water" comes from Stoned & Dethroned, the Jesus and Mary Chain's fifth album, released in 1994. William Reid wrote the music, and Jim Reid sings it.
The album took the long way round. After spending most of 1992 on the road, Lollapalooza included, the band went into the studio in January 1993 meaning to make an acoustic record, and for the first time since Psychocandy they worked as a full band, with Curve's Steve Monti and touring bassist Ben Lurie. The sessions dragged on for the better part of a year. On this one Lurie doubles on bass and harmonica, Monti plays percussion, Jim Reid adds guitar and slide guitar, William plays guitar, acoustic included, and Alan Moulder engineered and mixed.
