Wild Hearted Son
Wild Hearted Son is an EP by The Cult, released in 1991 on Virgin. It came out in the same year as the band's fifth studio album, Ceremony, and sits alongside that record in their story.
The Cult's studio run up to that point had taken in Dreamtime, Love, Electric and Sonic Temple, so this release arrives at the close of their first great stretch of albums.
