“Depending on You”

From the self-titled Chit Chat Records EP

Proudly old-school quartet Terry Frazier and the Tears of Joy from Hartsville, South Carolina is back with a new, self-titled EP.

The finest of the CD’s four tracks, “Depending on You,” sounds like the group’s “B” selection: the singers fasten their seat belts and assume full drive tempo, propelled by a chugging backbeat, snarling guitar, whirling B3 and explosively sanctified lead singing.

A plea for divine assistance, “Depending on You” continues past the five minute mark and seems destined to keep on going until it is suddenly and surprisingly wrenched to a close, as if the plug was pulled.

Current personnel of the Tears of Joy are Terry Frazier, Wade Crowder, Kevin Poston, Darrick McClinton and James Tillm.
