About a month ago, I shared two tracks with you from the joint covers EP being released by The Shady Street Show Band and Hot Blood. Together At Last features seven tracks on which the bands alternate covering each other's songs. It works -- maybe surprisingly -- well. There's something to be said for faithfully rendered cover songs; but, sometimes, full-on reinterpretations like the ones done here can bring out features of a song that you wouldn't have noticed any other way.
You can stream Together At Last for free up to its release this Saturday night, September 19th. Just as your opportunity to stream the set expires, The Shady Street Show Band and Hot Blood will be celebrating with a show at The Saint that also features Lowlight and Bone & Marrow. You can hear live renditions of all of these songs at what promises to be an eclectic evening of music.
So study up, and I'll see you on Saturday.
P.S. The album's cover photo was shot by a local, amateur photographer who also maintains a music blog. (It was me.).
