Lil' Red/Diane Urquhart
is a relativly new name
on the scene, but her
musicians surely are not.
You may know Rusti Steel
(guitar/steel guitar) and
Stuart Dale (doghouse
bass) from Rusti Steel
and the Tin Tax. And
that's a reference solid
enough for me. Lil' Red
plays a clean type of
rockabilly, with a huge
influence from Janis
Martin and a bit of
hillbilly, and even if
her voice lacks of
insurance every so often,
the global result is
pretty pleasant partly
due to the strong
musicianship of the band.
She proves her dedication
to this music by writing
six of the fourteen songs
of this album, including
the best cut here, the
threatening "Black
Snake Boots" a
rocker with sax and a bit
of "Bertha Lou"
feel in it. The rest
comes from the catalogs
of Janis Martin, Patsy
Cline, Rose Maddox,
Mickey and Sylvia (Rusti
gsings duet on "No
Good Lover"). You
can hear a couple of
tunes and contact them to
order their cd via their myspace
page. Fred "Virgil"
