Recorded at Kingsway Studio, New Orleans, Louisiana and Bearsville Studio, New York.
While its predecessor, BRICK BY BRICK, was a streamlined commercial effort, 1993's AMERICAN CAESAR finds Iggy Pop keeping things down and dirty. Recorded in New Orleans with Daniel Lanois cohort Malcom Burn producing, the album is split fairly evenly between dark, swampy, somewhat blues-inflected low-key tunes and raw, fiery rockers that hark back to Iggy's salad days with the Stooges. Iggy's deep, Jim Morrison-meets-Johnny Cash voice serves him well when crooning the former, but he's equally adept at switching gears and hitting the rock & roll animal button for the latter. Unlike BRICK BY BRICK, AMERICAN CAESAR didn't earn Iggy any pop hits, but aesthetically it brought him right back where he belonged.
