Spanish rhythm & blues singer Anna Dukke went to a farm in the US to write her second EP, and it paid off. The four songs on Black Honey are soulful and swinging, with amazingly powerful and heartfelt vocals in the leading role, and effective strings and drums as the backbone. Original tunes 33 Ball’s, Shake Your Soul and My Lifeline are delicious, vintage floor fillers, the subdued closing track is a beautiful cover of Sister Rosetta Tharpe’s My Journey In The Sky, This is roots music you feel.
Black Honey, produced by Ely Agramunt, is out now digitally and on vinyl 7″ through Folc Records.
