James Iha – “Lover, Lover” (Audio)
‘Let It Come Down’
Hut/Virgin – Feb. 10, 1998
*James Iha – “Lover, Lover” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j-TKfIPmGNg // https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Let_It_Come_Down_(James_Iha_album) // ‘Let It Come Down’ is the first solo album by American guitarist James Iha. It was released in 1998, during which Iha was still with the Smashing Pumpkins, before the release of ‘Adore’. Iha took on a more acoustic country sound reminiscent of the songs he contributed to the Pumpkins, notably shying away from the darker sound of Billy Corgan’s songwriting. Iha had said that the quieter tone of the songs reflected the fact that many of them were written in his hotel rooms during the Smashing Pumpkins tours, and he did not want to disturb other guests by playing too loudly.*
