The Chatham Singers


There will be a new Billy Childish record (gets released in a few weeks), and in my opinion it is amongst the best things he has released in recent years. Billy, Nurse Julie, and Wolf have revisited the Chatham Singers brand this time around with the Damaged Goods LP, "Juju Claudius". I found the album on another blog, I was curious to get a sneak preview. Buy it when it comes out, or pre-order the album here.

"Juju Claudius" has some of the best gritty, stripped-down blues/folk Billy has ever done. He sings some songs, Julie sings some songs, and they sing some together, and it all works. Also noteworthy is the fact that the name "Wild Billy Childish" is absent from the band name now....

Here is a sampling:
Evil Thing
Angel Of Death
