Tuesday, March 1, 2011: The Twilight Singers - Blackbird And The Fox

March, 2011

Let's start out a new month with some new music.

While the name The Twilight Singers immediately conjures up rows of sparkly, sun-drenched, angst-ridden vampires warbling show tunes, I assure you that this is something quite different, and infinitely cooler.

The group was originally formed as a side project by Greg Dulli, lead singer for The Afghan Whigs, in 1997. After the Whigs disbanded The Twilight Singers became his main gig.

And what a gig. Just like the Whigs, this is seriously fabulous music.

Unlike the Whigs, however, I hope this project gets the recognition it's deserves.

Off their brand spankin' new album Dynamite Steps, here is their collaboration with the amazing Ani DiFranco.

Enjoy.  Over and over again, once you put this on your playlist, I assure this tune won't leave for a while.
