You might not know Alabama 3 by name, but we bet you know one of their tunes -- Woke Up This Morning, better known as The Sopranos theme. You won't find it on their new disc; that song comes from their 1997 debut Exile on Coldharbour Lane. But you will find plenty of loping, ominous tracks just like it on La Peste. It picks up where Exile left off, with the duo of Rob (Larry Love) Spragg and Jake (D. Wayne Love) Black indulging their shared passion for country music, American icons and Bible-belt gospel, all of which get deconstructed and reassembled into seductively sinister trip-hop. This time, they add a few new touches to their patented Leonard Cohen-in-the-chillout-room formula -- nods to both Hank (Mansion on the Hill) and Dylan (Sad Eyed Lady of the Lowlife), strummy Stones-style guitar-rock (Wade into the Water) and the darkest, most paranoid cover of Hotel California you're likely to hear. Even minus their Mob hit, La Peste is an offer you can't refuse.
