Get It Together b/w I am Trying to Break Your Heart

JC Brooks & the Uptown Sound perform their cover of Wilco’s modern classic I am Trying to Break Your Heart live on KDHX Radio

After months of touring and playing these songs live throughout the Midwest and East Coast, small clubs to festival stages, JC Brooks & the Uptown Sound partnered with the Rabbit Factory to bring you these crowd favorites. The A-side, Get It Together, is a floor-filling funk number while the B-side pays homage to Chicago rock heroes Wilco with a killer cover of I am Trying to Break Your Heart. Each 45 comes with a download code of both songs.
