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".
