Clutch: Acoustic EP Due Before the End of the Year
If you consider the end of the Robot Hive/Exodus record and how obviously into playing the bluesier material Clutch has been over the last couple years, this was kind of a long time coming. Nonetheless, it’s killer news that Clutch are going to be recording an acoustic EP. Here’s the report from Blabbermouth, and a video of the song “Fixin’ to Die,” which is a Bukka White cover and, as Neil Fallon readily admits, the source of some “Ship of Gold” lyrics for sure:
According to Metal Insider, Maryland rockers Clutch will enter Magpie Cage Studios in Baltimore with J. Robbins around July 4 to record approximately half a dozen songs for an acoustic EP, to be released before the end of the year. Some of the titles being considered for the effort include a song called “Fixin’ to Die” as well as stripped-down takes of “Abraham Lincoln,” “Electric Worry,” “Regulator” and “Tight Like That.”
