Vinyl Cave -- "Dirt Don't Hurt" by Holly Golightly and the Brokeoffs

, with the LP version boasting a gatefold cover and super snazzy splash vinyl. Much of Golightly's past work has been available stateside only as imports, with the exception of a few scattered releases sneaking out on

That being said, though, fans who know Golightly from the '60s-sounding band Thee Headcoatees may not find a connection to her current sound. It's more reminiscent of Lonnie Donegan's skiffle boom records, offering original songs along with fired-up re-interpretations of country, folk, blues and traditional material. In England, this sound made Donegan a huge pop star back in the late '50s, but if he had surfaced today he'd probably be called alt-country and never have a hit record. How else to explain why Golightly isn't topping the charts somewhere, no matter what style she's creating music in? (Transdreamer Records 2008)
