Larry Mullins is an American multi-instrumentalist best known for his work with Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds, Swans and Iggy Pop, but his diversity as a player and composer goes well beyond those two iconic acts. In this first of two parts we talk on Larry’s 115 date tour with Swans, his just released solo album and start discussing his long and storied career to date.
