Pogues - Hells Ditch

 Hells Ditch  is the last Pogues  album Shane MacGowan contributes songs  . Nine  in total .  The first seven tracks are McGowan original's .  The album kicks off in optimistic mode with 'Sunny Side of The Street' . The song has a 'Before They Make Me Run' vibe  . The title track along with  'Lorca's Novena' are  darkly compelling.  'Summer in Siam' is a thing of sublime beauty . 'The House of the Gods' and the wistful ' 5 Green Queens & Jean' are equally as good  . Produced by Joe Strummer . Hells Ditch is an overlooked classic .....
