Description

Stoned & Dethroned is the fifth studio album by the Scottish alternative rock band The Jesus and Mary Chain . After spending most of 1992 touring, including a slot on that year's Lollapalooza tour, the band went into the studio during January 1993 with the notion of recording an acoustic album. For the first time since Psychocandy , JAMC recorded with a full band with Steve Monti from Curve playing drums and touring bassist Ben Lurie. The recording took longer than planned, lasting the better part of a year. The album also features lead vocals from guests Shane MacGowan from The Pogues on "God Help Me" and Mazzy Star 's Hope Sandoval , singing a duet with Jim Reid on " Sometimes Always ", which was the album's first single
