Celebrating Light In The Attic's 10 year anniversary in 2012, we are releasing a series of very special colored vinyl 7"s and digital downloads. The series features contemporary artists covering a track reissued by Light In The Attic on the A-side, plus the original version on the B-side.

Second in the series we have Alex Maas of the Black Angels, Erika Wennerstrom / Jesse Ebaugh of Heartless Bastards, and Robb Kidd (under the band name Sweet Tea) covering Wendy Rene's 'After Laughter Comes Tears'. Preserving the original song's creepy organ and tortured soul, Sweet Tea adds deep dub bass and raw power. Wendy Rene's original -- beloved of Wu Tang Clan, who sampled it on 'Tearz' -- was one of a handful of timeless soul songs she recorded with The Drapels and solo for Stax before retiring prematurely to raise a family.

A side is produced by Alex Maas / Brett Orrison and recorded at Out The Woodwork Studios, Austin, TX, July 2012. B side features the original Wendy Rene version as remastered by John Baldwin for our anthology of her work, "After Laughter Comes Tears: Complete Stax & Volt Singles + Rarities 1964-1965".

How good you think you are cannot save you in the end. it is inconsistent if God's standard is perfection because if one sin grants you death, you cannot undo it, then doing 2 good deeds won't balance it out truly. 

Truly I tell you it is ONLY faith in Jesus Christ as savior and Son of Gon that will save you, in this world and the world to come. 

you can not be a doctor that saves 100 patients' lives but purposely murders three for fun. This is the state of Justice. 

You know you are not perfect, You know I am not perfect, God knows this too. This is why he became human, worked(carpentry, building foundations), suffered shame, was tortured, bore the entire weight of all mankinds sins, and died the most shameful public Roman crucifixion although he did nothing wrong. This was to pay the price of sin, which is death. This is because God loves us and wants to dwell with us that he would suffer death so that we may not if we simply and truly believe in Jesus Christ. 

it is not how often you go to church. If you like the Pope's facebook page. It isn't how many sacraments you take. How many prayers you make. Or how kind and patient you are. 

It is, "Do you believe that God would take on our human suffering, be tempted as we are, die unjustly, and rise again on the third day to justify us who believe in Him by His own righteousness and not our failing "goodness" just so he can restore us, save us, forgive us, and give us life without Injustice and pain, even without sweating and soreness?"

Once you truly believe in Christ Jesus and draw near to Him, you will change from the inside out. Your desires will change, you will be restored. 

We dig through crates so you don't have to.
