Rami & The Reliables
Pouring Out A Bottle Of Wine b/w After All
scum stats: I'd guess 200 copies
A-side is a timeless Hank Williams-inspired country and western that begs the question...with how intertwined the aforementioned genre is with faith (Christianity, almost exclusively) I feel like the presence of church-style organ in that realm is surprisingly infrequent. Could be a bounty of reasons here...church organs weren't terribly mobile for years, meaning having one in the studio or even just on tour would be a literal heavy lift.
Anyway, I enjoy the organ backing here. Buzzkillers might begrudge it all as incongruous to the era, but it's their job to rob the world of joy so pay them no mind.
B-side more of a downtempo 50's r&b torch song vibe with doo-wop inklings and we should always welcome more reminders that the distance between r&b and country & western is infinitesimal.
I don't question the appearance of multiple copies of unsolicited 7-inch records here at Third Man...I just thank the vinyl gods and make sure to share the love. So If the tariffs got you down and pockets aren't bulging, just post a comment below before midnight central on Thursday April 10th and I will give away the extra copy I have of this record. Winner will be chosen completely at random, so your chances are strong. Just like this single.
Someone should tell Donny what a tariff is and this record sounds great!
The pockets are never bulging, and they won’t for a long while. :’‑(
My turntable loves free records!!
Really drives home the point that a little organ can inject some redemption into a sorrowful song
That’s a great cover
Hank Willams inspired country and western? Yes, yes and yes. Plus church organ. Hallelujah!
No amount of times that I’ve heard House of the Rising Sun changes the fact that the organ in it still moves me. Music is sacred. 💙💙💙
The first song that comes to my mind when thinking of songs with organ has to be Like A Rolling Stone. Today, from what I see, the organs in churches continues to be upheld by cartoons like The Simpsons. That’s the only I’ve seen one, at least.
Country music needs more organs.
I prefer the track “After All” of the two. Curious to listen to the whole Album.
Take care
