Cass McCombs and the Meat Puppets Pair, Push Limits

On the surface, Cass McCombs and the Meat Puppets might sound like a strange pairing, but both acts frame their keen, outsider insights amid unique artistry. But it is a strange pairing and their upcoming tour together promises to be the best kind of weird.

Perhaps in a way to memorialize the unlikely pairing, Domino Records is producing a 7" album (out on 10/28) with two new cuts from McCombs and two new covers from the Meat Puppets.

Stream a sample of the 7" below and be sure to catch them if the tour rolls through your zipcode.

Tonight: Cass McCombs plays The Sinclair

Cass McCombsBig Wheel and Others is one of my favorite albums of the year. It's a massive, rambling, folk-country epic. Clocking in at 22 tracks, it features some gorgeous guitar work, wry lyrics and some really great tunes.  

McCombs takes his freewheeling act on the road to The Sinclair on Monday night and I would suggest checking it out. I saw him play back in September and it was simply spellbinding.

Stream "There Can Be Only One" and see his other tour dates below.
