Holly Golightly - My First Holly Golightly Album - VINYL LP

Vinyl LP pressing. Holly Golightly is back with her first new album since Do The Get Along from seven years ago! It features ten new original songs all offering Holly's unique look at life and reflecting it's many ups and downs. It wouldn't be a Holly Golightly album if there wasn't a sharp caustic track or two included. Inch'Miss Fortune' is a blunt advisory number for those without a lick of senseInch says Holly. We've been enjoying this album immensely in the DG office for the last few months. Now it's time to share it with you. We hope you enjoy it!

This recording features works by some of the most well-known composers from the era of the musical Baroque. Born roughly within two decades of each other in Italy and Germany, the influence of the older generation on the younger was significant. The common thread of the selections on this recording is the subject of Christmas, explicitly so in the case of Corelli and Torelli, implied by the time of year in the case of Vivaldi, and by the choice of festive trumpets, the pastoral flute and the oboe d'amore as solo instruments in the works of Bach, Handel and Telemann.

Perfectly positioned for the vinyl revival comes the debut album of Holly. Produced and mixed in pure analog in collaboration with John Vanderslice, Maps and Lists is breath of fresh air for those tired of overly digitized sounds, auto-tuned vocals, and bad lyrics that only your teenage cousin could love. The album features eight original songs, all recorded live in one or two takes, and a band of ringers including cellist Teddy Rankin-Parker (Iron and Wine, Glen Hansard), drummer Daniel Pearce, and bassist Patrick Taylor. A must-have for audiophiles, the limited edition, hand numbered pressing was done at QRP on 200 gram vinyl and includes original album artwork by award winning graphic novelist, Anders Nilsen (The End, Big Questions). The CD version is great too, even if it's less likely to become a collector's item you can hawk on Ebay for a couple grand to remodel your kitchen.
