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.
Yup! Yup! Yup! That’s what it is.
Well, I do like an organ if it is used to enhance the feeling of the song. In fact, when in the correct mood, I can enjoy a whole album of Hammond organ music (I just logged one into my Discogs collection from the 1950’s). Instruments are tools and using the correct tool can really enhance the final project while the wrong instrument can ruin your dreams. The song is really good, and I would love to have a copy so keep me in the drawing. I hope the tariffs bring back the working-class pride like we had when Detroit was the auto capitol of the world!! It will take time but who knows??!! One last item Ben, I sent you an email to the Vault and Nashville emails. Hope you got it……….
Tariffs are so dumb. :angryface:
The tariffs, especially on raw materials like PVC used to manufacture records, are expected to drive up the cost of domestic vinyl pressing.
