On their latest vinyl release, HEIDI and GRACE from San Francisco's THE SANDWITCHES perform four heartbreaking acoustic lullabies interwoven with the spookiest sessions of Duck Duck Goose! ever caught on tape. Recorded and Produced by WYMOND MILES (The Fresh & Onlys) and The Sandwitches, Duck Duck Goose! features haunting renditions of Tim Cohen's "Rock of Gibraltar" (a bonus track from the Two Sides of Tim Cohen), and of the Oscar-nominated ballad "Baby Mine," from what some say is the most heartbreaking moment in Disney cartoon history. Stamped on one-sided 12-inch vinyl, the initial pressing of this EP is limited to 500 copies brought to you by Empty Cellar and Secret Seven Records. We wont get many, its one way, but its another slice of brilliant San Francisco pop from NOW.

Details

A full length vinyl only release from Third Man Records, and what a record. A long overdue re-issue of a classic album. Originally available in the 80s, teh nreissued on CD and LP by Fistpuppet / Cargo in the early 90's, now again on Vinyl from the Third Man Records imprint. Jon Wayne: guitar, vocal, Jimbo: drums, Earnest Beauvine: lead guitar, Billy Bob (Rodney Crowell): bass, Timmy Turlock: bass (replaced Billy Bob as of September 9, 1991. Supposedly a combo of session mucisians with Psuedonyms, well, they sure did throw down some cotton pickin hillbilly jams. This is the kind of raw dirty scuzz taht inspired legions of sissy garage-billy-lite. The tracks on this album are like a long lost country album, but with so much extra oomph it sure might well just crack your ear drums. Cow-poke punk and roll that needs to be listened to, repeatedly, loud, and lubricated with a keg of beer and a fifth of corn whiskey. Un-beatable!

"Now, you're wondering...what's so ecstatically wild about THAT!? Right? Well, lemme tell you...this thing is INSANE. It's like a bad fuckup trainwreck between the Shaggs, Butthole Surfers, some drunk band from the chickenwire C&W circuit, The Birthday Party, "Elvis Having Fun On Stage", numerous bad jokes, The Godz, Buck Owens' "Bakersfield sound" and California in general. The results are a sloppy, drunken, distorted, gleefully fucko mess that usually has people laughing hysterically along with the whole spew of noise, out of tune-ness, frizzy vocal, incompetent drumming, and an attitude that's so far out in punkdom leftfield that it's gone past the bleachers, and out into the frickin' parking lot!"

SECRET SISTERS - 'BIG RIVER B/W WABASH CANNONBALL'

Formats

• TMR050 - 7"

Details

Laura and Lydia Rogers were born and raised in a musical family (their grandfather and great uncles had a group called 'The Happy Valley Boys') and they absorbed their distinctive vocal style the old fashioned way, from singing at family picnics and Sunday church services. There's a timeless sound in their voices. You can hear the history of rural American music from the 1920's and a reverence for every musical genre America has produced. Their voices are honest, direct, traditional, and needless to say beautiful. Here, Jack White turns his production hand to their debut 45, featuring two songs that more than adeptly show of the girls versatility and familial sense of musical tradition by connecting the dots between Johnny Cash, The Carter Family, riverboat songs, train songs and the long tradition of gathering round the piano in the family palour to belt out some traditional hyms. Not to mention once again re-defining the perimeters of what folk music is all about. The A side, a cover of Johnny Cash's Big River, has all the bombast and swagger of a late night Saturday jam session in an old deserted barn. The vocals of the sisters Rogers are a firm lynchpin in the center holding the band to the ground as they threaten to float into abandon. The flip is their take on the traditional folk song The Wabash Cannonball, popularized by The Carter Family. Musically and vocally we're in 1930's Big Band territory here, all banjo trombones and trumpets with the girls coming off like The Andrew's Sisters southern gothic cousins.
