Their name may be a bit misleading as this is more of a breezy country sound than hillbilly music of the traditional kind but Jemma Rowlands and her Clifton Hillbillies still execute their take on country music with catchy melodic verve.
Pedal steel, banjo and fiddle decorate these bittersweet songs that walk the line on the soulful, melancholic side of the tracks. Late-night listening in a small bar would seem the prime location for experiencing this music and they've successfully captured that light-on-the-ears/heavy-on-the-heart vibe on their debut album.
