Cass McCombs tours to his... WIT'S END! HAHAHAHAHA THAT IS THE NAME OF HIS NEW ALBUM.

That Cass McCombs, he is one stressed-out fella. Dig this: I was walking into the Moon Saloon Cafe (my favorite haunt!) and saw Cass sitting at the bar. All the signs of one strung-out indie-folk songwriter were in full effect: sweaty forehead, hastily loosened tie, and that simultaneously vacant and determined stare out into the void. “Cass, what’s wrong, my friend? You look an awful mess,” I said. “Well, Eric, I’ve got a hundred things on my mind and by a hundred, I mean about one,” he responded. “I got this new record Wit’s End, but, heck, you already know about that. What’s really weighing on my mind is this tour I’ve got coming, the one where I hit the SXSW and the West Coast and the Europe. All this business, it’s just got me a bit on the nervous side.”

After hearing Cass’s sob story, I really only had one thing to say. “Shucks, Cass, that does sound like quite the heaping of work and it all sounds kind of great, but you really do seem like you’re at your… wit’s end!” Ha haaaaa! It is the name of his new record! That is the joke! Cass McCombs, he is going on tour!
