Baby Copperheads

I went and actively sought out Spencer Dickinson after reading the following review in my much-beloved Magnet magazine:

"Picture a boy with a stringer full of fish. An old-timer asks him what he's using for bait, and the lad replies, 'These little brown worms, but they keep biting me.' The codger responds matter-of-factly, 'Son, those are baby copperheads.'"

Well, yes and no. This collaboration between Jon Spencer and a couple of North Mississippi All-Stars does have a bite, but it's watered down from the all-mighty cobra venom of the blues. Still worth a listen, though.

It's A Drag
