Title: Southern Comfort
Product review: One of the best albums of 2003 was this release from Mississippi native Claire Holley, and it is in the same ever-expanding bag of Americana roots rock that includes Tift Merritt, and such veterans as Lucinda Williams.Claire's approach is more Southern blues-oriented than many other Americana female singer/songwriters, who tend to lean on country and folk-rock inflections, but those Southern roots do show through on DANDELION, particularly on the album's opening track "6 Miles To McKenney"--a track that, if this were still the 1970s or if corporate radio would give it a chance, could be a very big hit. Claire is an effective enough vocalist, and her guitar skills are not too shabby either.For anyone with a taste for Americana and roots-rock, DANDELION is the perfect form of Southern Comfort.
