Morphine
Morphine was formed in Cambridge, Massachusetts, United States in 1990 by Mark Sandman (vocals, bass) and Dana Colley (saxophone). Jerome Dupree became the group's drummer in 1991 prior to the release of their debut album, Good. "Low Rock" is Morphine's unique combination of jazz, blues and pop/rock, sung with darkly comic and ironic lyrics. Their guitarless sound relied on an unusual combination of baritone/tenor sax, percussion and a two string slide bass.

While "Good" earned the band critical notoriety and substantial underground cred, they did not -- with this release or any subsequent -- break into the mainstream. After the release of Good, the band replaced Dupree with Billy Conway, a former bandmate of Sandman. Morphine's 1992 release of Cure for Pain, promoted by heavy touring, received some mainstream positive attention, selling over 300,000 copies worldwide and spawning a chart hit in many countries with the single Buena
Subsequent releases include Yes and Like Swimming.
On July 3, 1999, Mark Sandman collapsed on stage in Palestrina, Italy, a suburb of Rome. He was pronounced dead of a heart attack at the scene. He was 46. Morphine released The Night -- arguably their best effort -- posthumously in 2000.
After Sandman's death, the remaining band members reformed and continued to record as Twinemen and later as The Ever Expanding Elastic Waste Band
In 2004, the Mark Sandman box set Sandbox was released by Hi-n-Dry, Mark Sandman's own label. It contains two CDs and a DVD of previously unreleased material spanning Sandman’s musical career. The DVD features clips from early Sandman shows, interviews from the Morphine tours, and various videos from other Sandman solo and group projects, such as Treat Her Right.

Morphine Lyrics
I hear a voice from the back of the room
I hear a voice cry out you want something good
Well come on a little closer let me see your face
Yeah come on a little closer by the front of the stage
I said come on a little closer I got something to say
Yeah come on a little closer want to see your face
You see I met a devil named Buena Buena
And since I met the devil I ain't been the same oh no
And I feel all right now I have to tell ya
I think it's time for me to finally introduce you to the
Buena buena buena buena good good good
It's coming to me yea it's coming to me
Now I I think I know what it is you need
I know some people want to make you change
Well I I know how to make'm go away
You see I met a devil named Buena Buena
And since I met the devil I ain't been the same oh no
And I feel all right I have to tell ya
I think it's time for me to finally introduce you to the
Buena buena buena buena good good good

Literally just found this song on Spotify today.
This is one of those epic moments in history where it's a cross between where you feel moronic because you haven't heard this is all your years of lviing and an epic legend because you heard it finally.
Mr Who
The same feeling
I've found it in the sopranos series and came looking for it
George Mccaffery
Morphine was too good for most people to appreciate.

@Michael Mathers - Typical pop record executive - "No guitar? Won't work." So they don't get the publicity and visibility to be more recognized and famous. Which is more famous and popular, an award winning craft-brewed ale, or Budweiser? An awesome pub burger, or a Big Mac? Recognition, and volume of recognition isn't especially tethered to quality, as far as I can tell. The more bland and vanilla, the "safer," and, thus broader the market appeal.

Fun fact: this is one of the hardest rocking songs in these galaxies and it does not feature a single guitar note

This bassline is fucking beautiful and simple at the same time. Morphine is great!
