Bill C and B'P'B join hands with Ty Segall, Johnnie Frierson and all of us at Drag City and Light In the Attic to turn the party up to 11, with a synth and rhythm box rebuild of Johnnie Frierson’s late-period Memphis outsider-gospel, summoning forth a 7" single with two views on one sweet soul tune. Frierson’s heavenly original, dating from a DIY cassette release in the early 90s (and a LITA comp in 2016!) is warm, emphatic and nakedly effervescent. The flip, torn from today's internet headlines, features Ty's low-down nasty funk take, the layers and bobbing beats of which make Bill and Bonny come fervently alive before the mic. Together, they make believers of us all.
