Courtney Love "The Rehab Demos"

'Hole Lotta Love' week continues on as we approach the official release date for Nobody's Daughter - the first new Hole album in over 12 years. There has been some controversy over Courtney Love's use of the name Hole on the record, since she is the only original band member returning for the new album, a recording that began life as her long-delayed second solo album How Dirty Girls Get Clean. The artist name change from 'Courtney Love' to 'Hole' is but one of many changes and twists the project underwent since it started a month after Love emerged from 90 days of court-appointed drug treatment in 2006. With most of the songs being written during her 'lock down', Love dubbed the initial recordings "The Rehab Demos", and almost immediately set out to record the album with superstar songwriter/producer Linda Perry and old chum Billy Corgan. This then, is the story, told through interview clips, recording outtakes and the final studio demos themselves, of those early sessions - rebuilding the Queen of Rock - one track at a time.

This is a fairly comprehensive overview of the Linda Perry recording sessions that kicked off work on what would become the 2010 Hole record Nobody's Daughter. Tracks from these sessions began to leak to the public in 2007 and were incredibly positive, with many comparing the results to Marianne Faithfull's Broken English and Bob Dylan's Blood On The Tracks. In mid-2007, while Love was putting together a backing band to road test the new material, she discovered 18-year old guitar virtuoso Micko Larkin, formerly of short-lived British Thamesbeat band Larrikin Love. Love meeting Larkin was the spark that transformed the project she was working on from subdued solo project back to the primal, rock nature of her band Hole. With Larkin on retainer, Love became inspired and co-wrote at least ten more songs for possible inclusion on the record; feeling the songs required a more epic, polished feel Love decided to hire Michael Beinhorn, the producer behind her platinum selling Celebrity Skin album, to re-record most of them. With the exception of "Letter To God" and "Never Go Hungry Again" (which appear on Nobody's Daughter in remixed form), the Linda Perry sessions remain unreleased to the public.
