Horse Stories is the third major album by Australian rock band Dirty Three, released in September 1996 by Touch and Go Records. The album was recorded at Maison Rouge Studios, London, while the cover art was designed by guitarist Mick Turner.[9][10]
"I Remember a Time When Once You Used to Love Me" is a cover of the Greek song Mia phora thymamai, written by Giannis Spanos and originally sung by the singer-songwriter Arleta.
Reception
[edit]Andrew McMillen of The Australian said, "This Melbourne instrumental trio was never more ferocious than on its third album, which captures the violin/drums/guitar combo alternately smouldering and at full conflagration, sometimes within the space of a single wordless song."[11]
