Jul 26, 2017 Pleasure Club By Christopher Roberts

The Afghan Whigs have released “You Want Love” as a free download in honor of the band’s late guitarist Dave Rosser (who passed away last month after a battle with colon cancer). It’s a cover of a song by the New Orleans band Pleasure Club and it features that band’s original singer James Hall. It’s available as a free download from The Afghan Whigs’ website and can be streamed below.

Greg Dulli had this to say in a press release: “Pleasure Club was a legendary New Orleans band and Dave Rosser and I had spoken for years about performing this song. In light of his passing we decided to record it in his honor.”

The Afghan Whigs released a new album, In Spades, back in May via Sub Pop. Read our in-depth interview with Greg Dulli on the album.
