When
we spoke with singer songwriter JASMINE POOLE -who
goes by the moniker WONKY TONK - regarding her debut album STUFF WE
LEAVE BEHIND she made it clear to me that the album was in drydock for
six years before it's recent release to the public. The old
saying about having your whole life to make your first album and six
months to make your second seemed to apply here as well but given the
plaintive production, shimmering melodies and the plucky delivery and
songwriting to be heard on this heartfelt debut it is plain to see that
time and effort were all worth it. the country bluegrass
approach shows hints of a definite punk influence and while the songs
address feelings of loss and longing don't expect to be
brought down by the proceedings. Expect to enjoy and offering
from a new talent in American music who could give LUCINDA WILLIAMS a
run for her money.
