We Are Only Riders is more than just a “various artists” compilation. It’s a musical collective of artists who have come together to interpret (and in some cases, complete) unfinished skeletal works by Jeffrey Lee Pierce, an artist they were friends with or whose work they admired.
Artists and their exclusive recordings featured on the album include

A band project of a stellar cast of musicians to honour the late great leader of The Gun Club.

Cypress Grove, his former bass player worked his way through his private archive, finding lost songs, lost tapes, lost lyrics and over the past 13 years he got together with a lot of musicians who were befriended with JLP, influenced by him or simply fans.

He was able to get them working on the fragments he had and over the years an album came together which will drive you to tears of its sheer beauty and intenseness.
