Editing Nick Cave (section)

==== 1980–2000 ====
During the 1982 recording sessions for the Birthday Party's third studio album ''[[Junkyard (album)|Junkyard]]'', Cave, together with band-mates Harvey and Howard, joined members of [[the Go-Betweens]] to form [[Tuff Monks]]. The short-lived band released one single, "After the Fireworks", and played live only once. Later that year, Cave contributed to the concept album ''[[Honeymoon in Red]]''. Intended as a collaboration between the Birthday Party and [[Lydia Lunch]], the album was not released until 1988, by which time Lunch had fallen out with Cave, who she credits on the release as "Anonymous", "Her Dead Twin" and "A Drunk Cowboy Junkie".<ref name="Walker, Clinton 1984">Walker, Clinton (1984).

During the Birthday Party's Berlin period, Cave collaborated with local post-punk and [[post-rock]] band [[Die Haut]] on their studio album ''[[Burnin' the Ice]]'', released in 1983. In the immediate aftermath of the Birthday Party's break-up, Cave performed several shows in the United States as part of [[the Immaculate Consumptive]], a short-lived "[[supergroup (music)|super-group]]" with Lunch, [[Marc Almond]] and [[JG Thirlwell|Clint Ruin]].<ref name="Walker, Clinton 1984"/> Cave sang on an [[Annie Hogan]] song called "Vixo" which was recorded in October 1983: the track was released in 1985 on the 12" inch vinyl "Annie Hogan – Plays Kickabye".<ref>"Annie Hogan Plays "Kickabye" – liner notes for "Vixo" on the label Doublevision – DVR9 on 12" in 1985.</ref>

A lifelong fan of [[Johnny Cash]], Cave covered his song "The Singer", originally "[[The Folk Singer]]", for the studio album ''[[Kicking Against the Pricks]]'' (1986), which Cash seemingly repaid by covering "The Mercy Seat" on ''[[American III: Solitary Man]]'' (2000). Cave was then invited to contribute to the liner notes of the double-compact disc compilation album ''[[The Essential Johnny Cash (2002 album)|The Essential Johnny Cash]]'', released to coincide with Cash's 70th birthday. Subsequently, Cave recorded a duet with Cash, a cover version of [[Hank Williams]]' "[[I'm So Lonesome I Could Cry]]", for what would be Cash's final studio album, ''[[American IV: The Man Comes Around]]'' (2002). Another duet between the two artists, the American folk song "[[Cindy (folk song)|Cindy]]", was released posthumously on ''[[Unearthed (Johnny Cash album)|Unearthed]]'', a boxset of outtakes. Cave's song "Let the Bells Ring", released on the  studio album ''[[Abattoir Blues / The Lyre of Orpheus]]'' (2004), is a posthumous tribute to Cash.

Cave played with [[Shane MacGowan]] on cover versions of [[Bob Dylan]]'s "Death is Not the End" and [[Louis Armstrong]]'s "[[What a Wonderful World]]". Cave recorded a cover version of [[the Pogues]]' song "[[Rainy Night in Soho]]", written by MacGowan. MacGowan also sings a version of "Lucy", released on ''[[B-Sides & Rarities (Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds album)|B-Sides & Rarities]]'' (2005). Cave provided guest vocals on the title track of [[Current 93]]'s studio album ''[[All the Pretty Little Horses (album)|All the Pretty Little Horses]]'' (1996), as well as the closer "Patripassian". For his studio album ''[[Murder Ballads]]'' (1996), Cave recorded "[[Where the Wild Roses Grow]]" with [[Kylie Minogue]], and "[[Young Hunting#Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds version|Henry Lee]]" with [[PJ Harvey]].

Cave also took part in ''The X-Files'' compilation CD with some other artists, where he reads parts from the Bible combined with own texts, like "Time Jesum&nbsp;...", he outed himself as a fan of the series some years ago, but since he does not watch much TV, it was one of the only things he watched.
