5.0 out of 5 stars
"Farm fed and ridden with angst",
By Scott (yatesks@winthrop.edu) (Charlotte, NC) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Hell's Half Acre (Audio CD)
For the former HARDSoul Poets, this album was their first real shot at the national scene. Unfortunately, it failed to grab that attention largely due to mishandling by the label. The album itself is great. The songs create an atmoshpere of "the surreal dirty deep south." "Skyliners" is a kind of protest song against NC's own Jesse Helms. These rockers carry a twang on this album and got lumped into the Americana category because of it. They hate it. Check out "In the Gloaming" or a live show to get a truer taste for their sound. Regardless, this album still kicks and the songs will stick in your head just the same. Kim Richey duets on "I Read What You Wrote Today", John Crooke's take on his own southern romance.

Not bad for a girl from Colonial Heights,
By Ray B. (Richmond) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Hell's Half Acre (Audio CD)
Pretty good stuff here but I prefer her earlier work on the mini-CD called "Jolene Sings the songs of James Branch Cabell." Most of the tunes were composed by Cabell and Helen "Sindy" Jackson, a native of Hopewell. -- Ray B.
