TRAILER BRIDE
Whine De Lune (Bloodshot)

Reviewed by John Sekerka



Easily the best of Bloodshot's latest alt.country appetizers, Trailer Bride deliver haunting country drawls about snakes, hotels, railroads and sin. Not only is this puppy littered (just made that up) with fancy banjo and mandolin pickin', but you also get a beeeaaaauuutifully creepy saw howl to boot. Course all this would be for naught if it weren't for the lovelorn, lazy, whiny and intoxicating voice of Melissa Swingle. I always had a soft spot for the Swingle Singers, but that's another, and I suppose unrelated story. Before I meander any further I must urge you to seek this record out, for it will grab your heart strings like no other. And you know yer heart strings are in need of grabbin'.
