I’m Gonna Stop Killing

For the follow up to her Willie Nelson tribute cover of Red Headed Stranger, Carla Bozulich released a sort-of sequel, sort-of extension to it in the form of I’m Gonna Stop Killing, starting with two songs, “Blue Eyes Crying In the Rain” and “Can I Sleep In Your Arms,” from that earlier release. The remainder of the album took a deeper dive into other live performances from the era with a fine band including regular guest Nels Cline, touching on both original work such as improv jams and versions of Geraldine Fibbers and Scarnella songs, as well as covers of Neil Young and Marianne Faithfull.
