I rarely post any kind of bluesy number up here but I mentioned this title track in my Day and Night column this week and it’s worth an extra highlight here. It’s from Heartless Bastards’ new album and has been warming up my brain farm lately. The album is out on Fat Possum now.
Erika Wennerstrom’s voice has a gravitas that draws you in to the song.
