After hearing a song on the radio while driving one night — “a minimal single chord strummed banjo and a small group of voices” — he went looking for it and failed. In his pursuit, he discovered “lined out singing,” a form of acapella call-and-response gospel singing that began in Scotland in the 1800s and became a root of American gospel and country music when Scottish immigrants settled in Appalachia. The song, typically a hymn, is led by a clerk, who begins the verse alone before a choir swells up to accompany them on the rest of the line.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLined out singing was born out of necessity — not every member of a given congregation could read, so the clerk’s voice spurred the choir’s memory of what came next in the hymn — but its effect is profound: a haunting, elegiac means of interpretation in which you can hear not only the words and what they mean, but what those words meant to each person singing them.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTracklisting:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eJust West Of Nicollet\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA Doctor In The House\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeakened\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStella\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePunching The Clown\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWhite People\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe New World Wave\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAndrew Jackson Asshat\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAfterburner\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCigar\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTo Do\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNo Chicago\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Lambchop","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48409204097272,"sku":null,"price":60.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0275\/7403\/files\/lambchop.jpg?v=1778995173","url":"https:\/\/happyvalleyshop.com\/products\/lambchop-punching-the-clown-black-vinyl","provider":"Happy Valley","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
