The Word and the Flesh is the fourth album by Band of Susans. For the first time, they were able to find a settled lineup to back up Poss, Stenger and drummer Ron Spitzer, after Karen Haglof departed to attend medical school. The final track, "Guitar Trio" is a work from when Poss and Stenger worked with experimental composer Rhys Chatham.
