2008, Carrot Top Records
VINYL FORMAT. First CTR 7" single for Brett and Rennie after all these years is a much delayed Double A-side special event. "Drunk by Noon" is the existential country hit from their debut album, Odessa (1995), that has been covered by Andrew Bird, Cerys Matthews (Catatonia), Sally Timms and Jon Langford (Mekons), and The Sadies. A few years back it even landed on the iTunes Celebrity Playlist for the character Jim Halpert of The Office & continues to be their largest selling digital single by far month after month. Side AA's "The Blizzard" is their exclusive, sublime cover of the 1964 Jim Reeves countrypolitan classic. A sad, sad story of a man whose love for his pony is stronger than his love for his girl or even himself. Beautiful picture sleeve has original Rennie Sparks art. Two aces!
