Holly Golightly and the Brokeoffs – No Help Coming (2011)


Our affection for Holly Golightly is no secret. There are few things more reliable than the arrival of a new album from the garage-rock veteran, both in terms of quality and frequency. Rarely does a year go by when Holly doesn’t churn out a great new record, and so it is that No Help Coming arrives bang on schedule after last year’s entertaining Dirt Don’t Hurt. Golightly’s impressive longevity spits in the faces of those who claim that reinvention is the key to surviving in the music business; “I still only know the same chords I did when I was fourteen, and I still write songs about the same things,” she says proudly.


No Help Coming is her fourth album with Lawyer Dave (aka The Brokeoffs), and delivers more of the same gutsy country-blues and rockabilly that seldom fails to hit the mark. Among the dozen tracks are several originals and covers of country legend Bill Anderson’s ‘The Lord Knows We’re Drinking’, Mr Undertaker’s 1955 R&B cult classic ‘Here Lies My Love’ and Wendell Austin’s vintage psycho-country epic ‘LSD Made A Wreck Of Me’.
