Morphine

Morphine is a band that I started listening to through my mom way back in the day when I was around 9 or 10. A three-piece from Massachusetts, this band started back in 1989. The band was fronted by Mark Sandman, who played two string bass (usually with a slide), Dana Colley played all forms of saxophone and other instruments, and the band switched drummers a few times.

For me the music morphine made is best described as 'the kind of music you would imagine hearing in a smoky bar in Chicago, when its raining outside'. And yeah I know, that's an extremely subjective thing to say, but from my perspective thats what it sounds like. Incredibly awesome saxophone solos, smooth basslines, and Marks voice was something special.
