...according to our on 23 October 2008.

For some reason we've sold tons of this Jenny Lewis 7" interestingly titled Carpetbaggers. She sounds exactly like Shania Twain for some reason in this twangy country rock short length. Though when Elvis Costello comes in he sounds like he's being strangled.... I don't think it's his best singing but I strangely quite like it when he kicks in just cos it sounds so wrong. It brings a smile to myself every time. White vinyl only and we've not got too many so get one and put a smile on your face.

Love this record? Hate it? Tell us.

What their label says...

Rare opportunity to pick up a genuinely collectible piece of white vinyl – the A side is Jenny Lewis’ vivacious toe tapping, single ‘Carpetbaggers’ featuring a stunning contribution from Elvis Costello’s legendary vocal tones, and the B side ‘Go Away’ a Costello track with Jenny on bvox.
This is a charity single with the record label donating a proportion of profits to the Jazz Foundation, set up to offer post New Orleans flooding support.
Carpetbaggers is B listed on Radio2, looking to progress up to the A. Also a Dermot session booked plus Radcliffe & Maconie session plus John Kennedy XFM session.
