Bloodshot Six Pack To Go: Working Songs for the Drinking Class 7'' (2015)

Bloodshot Six Pack To Go: Working Songs for the Drinking Class 7'' 
(2015, Bloodshot Records) 



In late 2015, Chicago's Bloodshot Records released a 6 7'' set in a 6 pack set. The records feature exclusive tracks by Deer Tick, Elizabeth Cook, Banditos, and GBV's Bobby Bare Jr., among others. 

Individual records were later available through Bloodshot Records, for those looking to forego the 6 pack novelty set. 

For the set, Robert Pollard includes a new re-recording of the GBV classic "Drinker's Peace." Recorded by ex-GBV member/Ricked Wicky guitarist Nick Mitchell, the track also features an appearance by Bobby Bare Jr. 


Drinker's Peace- Pollard brings back the classic tune from GBV's Same Place The Fly Got Smashed. Here, with help from Bobby Bare Jr. and Nick Mitchell, Pollard brings this back as a lush, orchestrated, more upbeat version. Necessary? Far from it. However, it's an interesting take on the song, but still, it's hard to beat the chillingly lo-fi original. Check it out for shits and giggles.
