AUDIE DARLING - FULL OF GHOSTS


More American folk from Portland, but there seems to be so much quality with these small releases at the moment. 'Full Of Ghosts' is no exception. Audie Darling has created a world of sad acoustics driven by her strong voice and swooping, hurt strings. A great quote I read of this said "through her confidence and toughness, she retains the honey-stick sweetness and desperate twang of a small town waitress aching to leave." This is a beautiful album, one that just begs you to slow dance with your sweetheart.
