Country folk is riveted to garage rock on Dirty Time<\/em><\/a>, the third full-lengther by New Orleans-based singer\/songwriter\/guitarist Jonathan Henley<\/a> (Mashed Potato Records), a credible connection with a rusty edge. As a five-piece band, the thirteen songs were recorded in a day and a half, all live, a collage of vintage instruments and engaging vocals. When asked, the artist explains: “Everyone had a blast and the whole process felt like a breeze. Really feel like the album captures that sense of fun and freedom we all felt in the studio.” That’s exactly how it comes across, almost as if you were there yourself, captivating. Although the folk heritage is dominant here, the acoustic garage punk influences\u2014somewhat reminiscent of Violent Femmes\u2014take the tracks to a higher level. A danceable delight, authentic and ardent, bullshit-free.<\/p>\n
