Otis's band release first CD

Otis Lee Crenshaw's backing band have released their first album.

The Black Liars have combined their own compositions with cover versions for The Black Album - including a country version of Kylie Minogue's Can't Get You Outta my Head.

Many of the tracks - which have been recorded in the past few months - will be familiar to fans who have seen the band support Rich Hall's comic creation. The full track listing is below.

The tongue-in-cheek album is not available in shops, and is currently only being sold after the band's gigs. (Click for dates)

However, you can pre-register to order one by post at the Black Liar's official website.

* Stand-up Joel Sanders, who claims to have performed in more US states than any other British comic, has also released a CD, recorded at a casino in Reno, Nevada. For a copy, send a cheque for £11 payable to Joel Sanders to PO Box 2022, Watford, Herts WD19 5ZN
