IT'S REAL! KFC is introducing their Double Down sandwich on April 12th. Who needs bread surrounding their cheese and bacon when you've got two pieces of Colonel Sander's special recipe instead? In celebration of this gluttonous and sinful event, I decided to post a few tracks by Southern artists to help set the mood when your mouth makes love to this "sandwich" on April 12th.
Ben Sollee - A Change is Gonna Come
Damn right a change is gonna come. Though Sam Cooke's version of this song was about the civil rights movement, and Sollee's has been toned down so that it's appropriate for a white dude to sing it, I like to imagine that this song is about all breads being replaced by fried stuff. Yeh that's right, fried stuff. No matter what the subject matter really is, I've got to say this is one of my favorite covers of Sam Cooke's original.
Eli "Paperboy" Reed - It's Easier
Is Eli talkin about a romantic interest......or is he talking about bacon? As he croons lyrics like "I've been loving you, for way too long, and without you, I can't go on" the answer becomes obvious. He's talkin' 'bout bacon yo!
Hope none of you had a heart attack reading this. Plenty of time for that after you try this sandwich...you know you wanna....
