Album Review: The Black Sorrows - Endless Sleep (Chapter 47)

There’s a moment on Endless Sleep (Chapter 47) during the Black Sorrows’ cover of Hank Williams’ I’m So Lonesome I Could Cry when it seems as though Williams had written the tune especially for Joe Camilleri, some 66 years after the fact.

Of course, there are plenty more upbeat covers here (see The Allman Brothers Band’s Done Somebody Wrong for a rockin’ example), and it’s this contrast across the record that most appeals. Clearly a passion project, Chapter 47 is a bucket of fun and memories, wrapped in that vintage Black Sorrows sound.
