Tarheel Slim & Little Ann - It’s Too Late (Fire, 1959)

Tarheel Slim & Little Ann have this dark, condemned style that either gives you the creeps or makes you weep.  Or both. It certainly makes Little Ann cry out in a sea of creepy reverb in the last leg of the tune.

Pixies on the radio, 1987

I don’t think I’ll ever forgive myself for skipping the band opening for the Throwing Muses back in late 1986 or so. I hadn’t heard of them but I soon would. Listening to this fantastic set (link above) recorded not long after reminds me what I missed. It’s a sweet pain. (And at least some websites indicate Big Dipper was the other opening band…. Some 25+ years later, guess which of the three I haven’t listened to in two decades or so?)
