Medicine County: Holly Golightly and the Brokeoffs
The moment the first track (Forget It) plays in my ears, I am immediately transported to rural Georgia, USA, slowly making my way along a back road to what looks to be a ghostly farmhouse but could be a seedy bar (who would know?). This is where I will spend the next 35 minutes, enjoying Holly Golightly and the Brokeoffs, in the place where they created Medicine County.
Folk, blues and country are all used creatively, so it doesn’t feel bored and already done. And Holly’s ghostly, swaggering voice keeps the listener mesmerised. Fans of She and Him will find this a welcome companion.
