Southern Grammar

Very Limited edition 12" release, includes coupon for full digital download. This three-song collection called 'Southern Grammar' is good for a few good reasons. It gives the song 'Brother, Do You Know the Road?' a proper physical home. It also offers up a song called 'He Wrote the Book' that was a near-casualty from the 'Lateness of Dancers' sessions. Finally, this version of 'Southern Grammar' shows off the Hiss Golden Messenger road band, which includes Scott Hirsch, Phil Cook, Matt McCaughan, Matt Douglas, and Alexandra Sauser-Monnig, who are all friends and inspirations. The fine, fine crew at WXPN in Philadelphia engineered the recording of this song and graciously agreed to let Merge use it for this record.
