The Pogues - The Pogues If I Should Fall From Grace With God album cover | |||||||||||||||
If I Should Fall From Grace With God is a 1988 album by The Pogues. The album was a departure from previous Pogues albums, which had focused on an Irish folk/punk hybrid which had earned them both a reputation as music radicals and also as a commercial success. On If I Should Fall From Grace with God several more genres were added to this mixture, including Jazz, Spanish folk and Middle Eastern folk. The adding of Spanish and Middle Eastern sounds was a sign of things to come; on later albums such as 1990's Hell's Ditch these would become the defining sound. However on this album it was very much Irish folk to the fore, especially on songs such as the title track, "Bottle of Smoke", "South Australia", "Lullaby of London" and "Sit Down By The Fire", and the rendition of the traditional jig "The Lark in the Morning" as the coda to "Turkish Song Of The Damned". These songs were more typical of the earlier Pogues albums, mostly fast and heavily textured. The album was also the first by the band to utilize a complete drum kit.
