Truly She Is None Other (WHITE VINYL LP)
10 year anniversary re-issue of the expanded verion of Holly's greatest album! (Or 18th anniversary of the original)
Collector's edition on WHITE vinyl and digipak CD
It's been out of stock for a while so we've decided to make this re-issue a little bit special. Often cited as perhaps her best solo album Truly She Is None Other was recorded in 2002/3 at Toe-Rag Studios by Liam Watson and features the song 'Tell Me Now So I Know' which was picked for the main title theme for Jim Jarmush's 'Broken Flowers' movie.
Among the nine Holly originals the album features two Ray Davies songs ('Time Will Tell' & 'Tell Me Now So I Know'), along with 'There's An End', (penned by her friend Craig Fox from The Greenhornes.) There's also a fine version of Jessie Mae Robinson's 'Black Night', a song most famously covered by Muddy Waters.
Backed by the cream of Toe-Rag's in house musicians, this is Holly Golightly at her finest.
With sleeve notes by none other than Jack White III.
Singles Round-Up (2LP)
Double vinyl compilation of Holly's early singles! New digipack CD!
Holly Golightly (real name) started her musical
career as a founder member of all girl garage band Thee
Headcoatees, a Billy Childish / Thee Headcoats splinter group in
1991.
She spent four years as a Headcoatee before breaking away to release her debut
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 'n' roll.
Apart from the wide range of covers of such artists as Willie Dixon, Ike Turner,
Lee Hazelwood, Wreckless Eric, and Bill Withers, Golightly also writes most of
her own material.
Holly Golightly is definitely the most interesting and diverse artist to come
out of the Billy Childish school and is certainly one of the better
singer/songwriters of the post-grunge era who gets better with every album.
Since her debut in 1995, Golightly has been very prolific, releasing a string of
classic long play records and loads of singles for a wide variety of labels as
well as touring extensively in America, Australia & Europe.
This double vinyl LP, (or single CD newly packaged in a digipack) compiles Holly's first twelve 7” singles, A & B-sides. It includes the bluesy 'No Big Thing' with its bar-room piano and harmonica backing, the dirty guitar-driven 'Til I Get, the shuffling brushed drums and double bass of 'Come The Day, the haunting vocal and bottleneck guitar of 'Stain' and finishes with a brilliant up-tempo cover of Pavement's 'Box Elder'.
