B.W.'s PLAYLIST/ KHUS, 90.5/ SAT., 11 AUG. 2012

South Carolina-based singer/songwriters Cary Ann Hearst and Michael Trent came together and made a collaborative record entitled Shovels & Rope in 2008. The name stuck with the duo, who eventually got hitched - artistically and personally. Now, under the moniker of Shovels & Rope, the powerful duo, rooted in county, Americana folk, rockabilly and straight-up rock & roll, have delivered a new, excellent recording, O' Be Joyful, filled with kick-ass, revival-like execution and fire-spit spirit. If you don't know them, check out their video of them performing an earlier song, "Gasoline," excerpted from a two-year documentary film project that will finally be wrapped after several Charleston, SC hometown shows in several weeks: http://vimeo.com/31819086
