English old school vaudeville blues trio Jo Carley and The Old Dry Skulls are building on their formula on their new album, I'll Put My Voodoo On You, a collection of good-natured songs about death, drugs and the devil, topped off with plenty of sexual innuendo. They sound tight but loose, laying down captivating grooves on top of a walking bass.
With three multi-instrumentalists in the band they have a wealth of sounds to choose from, but none of the tracks is overcrowded, so it won't be a problem to transfer the songs to their natural habitat: the stage. I'll Put My Voodoo On You is a celebration of good-time music. People who sit still during tracks like Little Dead Lovin' or Crazy Little Demon In Love should consult their GP posthaste. It is a cliché, but yes, that the devil has the best tunes.
Jo Carley and The Old Dry Skulls:
Jo Carley: vocals, fiddle, washboard
Tim Carley: guitar, foot tambourine, kick-drum, hi-hat, percussion
James Le Huray: double bass, banjo
I'll Put My Voodoo On You is released via Old Higue Records (vinyl, CD, digital).
