Earlier this month, Milk! Records and Remote Control partnered up with Jack White’s Third Man Records to unveil the latest instalment in the White-produced Blue Series of singles, a collaboration between Milk! star Courtney Barnett and White himself.
The two hit the studio together to record a new original and a beautifully rendered cover of ‘Shivers’, the Rowland S Howard-penned ballad from the legendary guitarist’s days in The Boys Next Door, which Barnett shared with fans earlier this month.
Barnett has now unveiled her White-produced original, ‘Boxing Day Blues Revisited’, an epilogue to ‘Boxing Day Blues’, the closing track of the singer-songwriter’s acclaimed full-length debut album, Sometimes I Sit and Think, and Sometimes I Just Sit.
“Third Man is privileged to work with Melbourne, Australia’s very own Courtney Barnett, a sharp singer-songwriter-guitarist who has quickly made her mark on garage pop fans worldwide with her witty, self-deprecating, and authentic observations turned into raw, stream-of-consciousness lyrics and blunt melodies,” Third Man write.
“The wry-and-dry songstress stopped by Third Man Studios in Nashville over a long weekend this summer to record a couple tracks and damn did she ever deliver.” You can get both songs as a limited edition 7″ vinyl now.
