Hammer and Tongs
Price 12.69 - 17.22 USD
On their new studio recording, 77 El Deora jangles some familiar nerves and scuffs up some new ground off the beaten path. As on Sirens, singers Jenn Courtney, Maurice Tani, and a dozen other musicians lay out a literate vision of country that is both dramatic and fun. Hammer & Tongs features 10 new songs from Tani, written specifically for Courtney"s vivid persona. Dark, hyper-romantic ballads and bright, shiny, trailer-park operettas. Plus a pair of retooled masterworks - an assertive redo of Leonard Cohen"s brooding Everybody Knows, and, as a special bonus track, an unexpected version of Leiber & Stoller"s existentialist classic Is That All There Is?.
