The Daily Choice: Sweet Tea - If I Was A Carpenter

I like surprise.  Presents when I come home.  Finding twenty dollars in the pocket of a unworn coat.  You know, the little things.  Thus, when word that Alex Maas, the drone-y yaller from The Black Angels, and Erika Wennerstrom, the throaty holler of Heartless Bastards, were putting together a few tracks, I was nicely surprised.

The surprise continued (call it an avalanche of surprise) when the two song 7″ that was thrust in to my hands was a beautiful cover of one of my absolute favorite Cash and Carter songs, “If I Was A Carpenter”.  I nearly drowned in surprise when the song was a hazy, eyes-squinted take on the classic.  A take I couldn’t stop listening to.

I pass my pleasant surprise to you.  Enjoy.
