SHOVELS & ROPE's New Single 'Johnny 99/Bad As Me' Now Available for Pre-Sale

By: Caryn Robbins Mar. 20, 2013

Third Man Records takes the greatest of pleasure in announcing the newest in its Blue Series single line, this one from Charleston, SC's own Shovels & Rope.

Cary Ann Hearst and Michael Trent are definitely TMR's favorite inter-gender rock n roll two piece since... well, you know... and the label is beyond excited to present this Blue Series single featuring two covers of classics by larger than life titans of musical history: Side A gives us Shovels & Rope's piano heavy take on Bruce Springsteen's "Johnny 99" while the flip is a slinky hip-shaking version of Tom Waits' "Bad As Me".

This single is the perfect soundtrack for two doomed souls dancing in the glow of a jukebox in a greasy spoon diner... The Third Man crew reckons Messrs Springsteen and Waits should be mighty proud.
