The Builders and the Butchers

Salvation is a Deep Dark Well

Buy It

If Tom Waits and Johnny Cash took over a southern church choir, littered it with mandolins, banjos, acoustic bases, hand-made drums, and summoned a dance party, they might call the whole phenomenon The Builders and the Butchers. No other band will make you feel so blissfully compelled to make deals with the devil.

Reminds us of: The Devil Makes Three | DevotchKa | A Silver Mt. Zion

Or Tom Waits will come to get you.
