If You're Happy and You Know It: The 13 Best Songs with Handclaps
Cory Chisel and The Wandering Sons- "Born Again"
We've cavorted with them through the fields of Manchester, caught them on the back steps of The Earl and counted them among the Best of What's Next. And on Friday, much of the Paste staff finally experienced The Everybodyfields live for the first time when the band dropped by for an afternoon performance in our studio.
It could've easily been a strictly acoustic affair, but our multimedia team
risked the ire of the medical training school downstairs to have the band set up in full: Jamie Cook on drums, Tom
Pryor on pedal steel, Josh Oliver on keyboards and electric guitar, and
Jill Andrews and Sam Quinn trading off bass, acoustic guitar and vocals.
The total number of times I've seen The Everybodyfields live in the past fifteen months starts with an "e" and rhymes with "ate" (um, I love them?), but most of the songs they played on Friday were as new to me as they were to my less-seasoned co-workers. Of the five tracks the band recorded for us, three were brand-new: “City Noise,” “A Gun” and “Mardi Gras.” Another, “Worth Keeping,” was an updated version of a song you might know from their recent Daytrotter session. And they busted out their admittedly rusty French for a great Lucinda Williams cover, “Crescent City,” to round out the set. (Sam was fighting a losing battle to work in "Tequila Sunrise"-- better luck next time?)
All five tracks will be streaming here at PasteMagazine.com sometime in the coming weeks, so stay tuned.

sam quinn. i'm sure its an honest mistake since you love them.
Nope, actually, they kicked Quinn out and reanimated the soul legend, but lost the "e" on the end of his name in the process.
(Nope, actually, you're right.)
what a tease, all text and no audio
Josh, audio's coming soon. We just wanted to let everyone know it was on the way whilst our multimedia team gets everything ready.
