HOLLY GOLIGHTLY and the BROKEOFFS - Medicine County LP

Holly and Lawyer Dave's their third album together as Holly Golightly And The Brokeoffs.

Written and recorded on a farmhouse just outside Athens in Georgia and as Holly says it’s “peppier” than the last album, in fact there’s only one slow song on the whole album which is probably down to the fact that this time they had a lot longer to work on the songs and recording.

So what does it sound like? Choc-full of ghostly blues, gut-bucket slide guitar, with a smattering of ol’ time country. This is just the disc for conjuring up the spirit of weird old America. One could be excused for thinking Bob Log had a hand in a couple of the tunes ("Two Left Feet", "When He Comes") and Southern Culture on the Skids had a say in "Escalator". Maybe not.

Anyone with an interest or liking for the music of The Band, Son House, or Hank Williams, sung by Nancy and Lee, should certainly check it out.

Holly’s mum painted the cover, which adds to the warm home-spun appeal.
