Sunny War – with the sun lp

Zangeres die ergens tussen Nina Simone en Billie Holiday inhangt soms. En om wat recentere zangeressen te noemen, Joan Armatrading en Valerie June of zo. Muzikaal een soort kruising tussen blues en jazz. Ingetogen en sober en toch overtuigend en krachtig. ‘Moving to Los Angeles in her teens, she searched for herself in the LA punk scene, playing house shows with FIDLAR, and shoplifting DVDs from big box stores to trade at Amoeba Records for 80s punk albums. But here too she found herself on the outside, working to bridge her foundation in country blues and American roots guitar traditions with the punk scene she called home.’ Bijzonder plaatje, waarmee ze de ‘10 new country artists you need to know’ van Rolling Stone haalde. Luister de plaat op bandcamp.
