Slobberbone – Crow Pot Pie (Original Version)

This is the original selfreleased Crow Pot Pie album of the 1994 line-up Slobberbone:
Brent Best: vocals,
Ed Alderson: guitar,
Lee Pearson: bass,
Tony Harper; drums 

Slobberbone’s first album Crow Pot Pie is no doubt a classic in the Alt-Country genre. It has all the hallmarks of a great Alt-Country album, twang, crunchy guitars, rough vocals, punk rock edge, country rock sensibilities, songs about drinking and death… That album came out in 1996 on Doolittle Records, and has since been re-released on New West (who purchased Doolittle Records) in 2003.

This here is the original version of that seminal album, recorded a full2 years prior and with a slightly different line-up (drummer Tony Harper and singer Brent Best being the only members on both versions). This version also features a slightly different cover, same picture but the Slobberbone logo and album name location are different. The music itself is slightly different as well, just a little rougher around the edges and with a differing track order. Not to mention a few songs omitted or replaced on the 1996 version.
The band recorded the album and distributed it themselves hoping to garner up support for gigs and maybe some radio airplay. The disc gained the attention of Doolittle and the rest as they say is history. Since 2 years had passed since the original recording, and the line-up had changed, the band decided to re-record the album for Doolittle, and that’s the one that became the 1996 version….the now classic album Crow Pot Pie.

Itfeatures early versions of "I'll Be Damned" and "Haze Of A Drink" which later appeared on Barrel Chested.
