Holly Golightly: 7 Albums 1995 - 2003 |Urbanaspirines | A KOSTAS SPECIAL

 Holly Golightly: 7 Albums 1995 - 2003

Now we discussed Holly before with her connection to Thee Headcoatees with Billy Childish (see links below) some time ago and with Kostas too I believe so he has turned up trumps (no, NO not THAT one!) with this profile of Holly’s work done of her own solo volition . . . . . 7 albums worth and no messing!





Kostas says: After four years as a Headcoatee she also found time to release a debut solo record, The Good Things, in 1995. Where the Headcoatees sound was a blend of girl group sounds and three-chord garage-rock with all the original songs coming from the pen of Billy Childish, Holly’s solo sound is more a blend of pre-rock electric blues, folk rock, and less frantic rock & roll. In addition to Holly’s original songs, she’s also covered a wide range of artists including Willie Dixon, Ike Turner, Lee Hazelwood, Wreckless Eric, and Bill Withers.She is one of the most interesting and diverse artists to come out of the Billy Childish school and is certainly one of the better singer/songwriters of the post-grunge era who seems to get better with every album. Since her debut in 1995, Holly has been very prolific, releasing twelve solo albums, one with Billy Childish (In Blood), one with Dan Melchior (Desperate Little Town), and eight albums alongside The Brokeoffs plus loads of singles for a wide variety of labels. She has toured the world many times, the US being a particular favourite as well as Australia & Europe.

Your pale skin, your sexy crooked teeth
The trouble you’d get in, in your clumsy way
I guess one afternoon you won’t cross my mind
And I’ll get over you 
Overtime . . . .

 DIRE STRAITS - So Far Away [LIVE AT WEMBLEY 1985]


I don’t know quite when I found Dire Straits went MOR but the eighties would be my shout . . .the number here is fine but hardly deep, lyrically about as banal as you get after classics like Sultans of Swing . . . hey ho!
