Album Review: Hussy Hicks - Lucky Joe's Wine & Other Tales From Dog River

StarStarStar

'[Hussy Hicks] cross a few genres from their country roots to a swamp-like blues style.'

Hussy Hicks are a folk outfit with a penchant for quirky tunes.

Like The Waifs, Julz Parker and Leesa Gentz cross a few genres from their country roots to a swamp-like blues style. If anything they are unpredictable in their approach. Flying sets up the album with an emotive lyric that perfectly suits the drawn-out vocal style of Gentz and Parker. The raw edge of their approach is best read on That Old Heartache, which sees both of them harmonising and creating a dramatic emotional sense of outpouring . All round it's a short but well achieved album.
