She spent the first part of her career as a fierce and edgy and sometimes primitive\u00a0British-based music icon. Her change of direction included a move to rural Georgia and a partnership with multi-instrumentalist\/vocalist Lawyer Dave. They have now released their sixth album titled <em>Coulda, Shoulda, Woulda.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Their Americana sound can be classified as somewhere between eclectic and eccentric. While their\u00a0name sounds like a band, they are basically a duo on stage and in the studio with only guitarist Jeff Walls lending a hand on three tracks.<\/p>\n<p>A number of songs move in a strangely appropriate apocalyptic direction. \u201cHeaven Buy And Buy\u201d is energetic, while Lawyer Dave provides the lead vocal for \u201cJump In The River\u201d and \u201cNo Judgment Day.\u201d Finally, there is the maudlin but mesmerizing \u201cLonesome Grave.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The rest of the tracks tend to travel where the wind\u00a0happens to blow\u00a0the duo. There is the frenetic dance trace \u201cKarate.\u201d There is the trailer trash rock of \u201cApartment 34,\u201d which is balanced by the poignant \u201cJackhammer. The only cover is one of the oddball\u00a0songs\u00a0of the 1950s titled \u201cMarijuana The Devil\u2019s Flower,\u201d which fits the tenor of the album.<\/p>\n<p>  Despite the quirky nature of the music, it has deep textures and a sophisticated approach. The music is cohesive, and while Holly Golightly And The Brokeoffs may travel the road less taken, it contains music worth exploring.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":59,"featured_media":32558,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"artist":[8704],"rating":[5615],"class_list":["post-44322","review","type-review","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","artist-holly-golightly-and-the-brokeoffs","rating-rating-b"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/dailyvault.adishjain.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/review\/44322","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/dailyvault.adishjain.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/review"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/dailyvault.adishjain.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/review"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dailyvault.adishjain.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/59"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dailyvault.adishjain.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=44322"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/dailyvault.adishjain.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/review\/44322\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dailyvault.adishjain.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/32558"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/dailyvault.adishjain.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=44322"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"artist","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dailyvault.adishjain.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/artist?post=44322"},{"taxonomy":"rating","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dailyvault.adishjain.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/rating?post=44322"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
