Lone Official, "Le Coq Sportif"
posted March 20, 2019 #
On the last episode of WOTT Music, I dug through my iTunes Archives to find some music from the Nashville scene that had stood the test of time - all tracks that were 10 years old or more. One of those songs is "La Coq Sportif" from Lone Official. It's a wonderfully blurry video thanks to be 12-years old but still a great song.
I'd never dug into the history of the band or explored the album from which the song came; mostly out of fear that the rest of the record wouldn't be as good as that particular song. Turns out, I was wrong. The album, Tuckassee Take is damn good. If you're into Wilco, Lambchop or any quasi-Americana band with a baritone singer, you'll enjoy this.
The thing is, it's not streaming anywhere that I have access to and there's only a handful of paragraphs about the band - despite the album being released on Damon Albarn's label, Honest Jon's.
TLDR: take a chance on downloading some MP3's and enjoy this highly overlooked album.
