This album from Perth, Australia native Abbe May was knocked out in five days with members of Kill Devil Hills, The Lazy Railway & Abbe’s regular band The Rockin' Pneumonia. It is brimming with spectral sexual energy, perfect for knocking up a chilly Samhain eve. Her MySpace page says: “Five days, four musicians, three chords, too many bottles of spliff wine & one Willie Dixon song.” Abbe isn’t worried about evangelical threats of calling Satan into her life by using his name; she’s willing to play with the Big Boy if He’s willing to play with her. Well, are you, Natas, are you?

Been listening to this over at their Myapce. It's really good, especially "Hoodoo you do"
ReplyDeleteGonna buy me a copy.
Some of it reminds me of a female Tom Waits - nothing wrong with that.
Gary,
ReplyDeleteThanks for the comment.
I've been listening to this regularly since I bought it a few months ago. 'female Tom Waits' indeed. Tasty stuff.
Miss your blog a lot & all the great Brit stuff I missed out on as a Yank. Best to you, my friend.
