Blues from a Gun

"Blues from a Gun" is a song by Scottish alternative rock band The Jesus and Mary Chain. It serves as the lead single to the band's fourth studio album Automatic (1989) and was released in four different formats, including a 3" Mini CD single in a paper gatefold sleeve.

The single reached number 32 in the UK single charts, and was also a hit for the band in the US, topping the Modern Rock charts for three weeks. It is also one of the few singles by the band featuring lead vocals from William Reid, as opposed to Jim Reid.

Denise Sullivan writing for AllMusic felt, "The Jesus & Mary Chain's song themes can be narrowed down to a couple: shooting drugs, shooting your head off, and shooting your mouth off. "Blues From a Gun" typifies all three in one great verse-chorus-verse song with a coda."

All tracks written by Jim Reid and William Reid, except where noted.
