    This is the original CD version of A New Low. If you purchase this on bandcamp, you will also get to download the 24-bit extended version with one extra track.

    Produced in collaboration with Pete Weiss of Verdant Studio, recorded at Armory Sound, Dimension Sound Studios and Milk Row Cemetery, with art work by Lisa Deupree; songs by some of our favorite artists, including Brian Eno, Latin Playboys and Dock Boggs. Of course some Morphine chestnuts by Mr. Sandman, done in our own fashion.

    Our auxiliary drummer Jeff Allison played on two tracks and produced the opening Wind Up Radio. And our dear friend, Malian musician Boubacar Diabaté sings on an alternate version of the track Renouveau/Daman N’Diaye found on the bandcamp extended 24-bit download version; his voice is sampled for the CD version.

    We are our own worst critics, and we are really very happy with the way this thing turned out. Really, REALLY happy. We hope you enjoy our addition to the low rock universe.

about

This is probably the more unusual of many adaptations of a song known by a number of names. Dock Boggs made what was probably the first recording of the song in 1927, entitled "Sugar Baby." Jeremy has long been a fan of Boggs and Old Time Appalachian music in general. (Spider "John" Koerner sings a very different and wonderful version.)

lyrics

Well I ain't got no use for your red apple juice
I ain't got no honey baby now
Well, I ain't got no sugar baby now

Done all I could do, all I could say
I can't go on living this a way
Well I ain't got no honey baby now

Who'll rock the cradle, who'll sing a song,
Who'll rock the cradle when I'm gone?
I ain't got no honey baby now

Well I ain't got no use for your red rocking chair
I ain't got no honey baby here
I ain't got no sugar baby now

I've done all I could for to see peace with you
I can't go on living this a way
Well I ain't got no honey baby now

Who'll rock the cradle, who'll sing a song,
Who'll rock the cradle when I'm gone?
Well I ain't got no honey baby now
Well I ain't got no honey baby now

Well I ain't got no use for your red apple juice
I ain't got no honey baby now
Well, I ain't got no sugar baby now...
