Lindi Ortega is a Canadian Country singer. Hers is a name that I have vaguely been familiar with over the years with the occasional track or two downloaded into my music folder. She has appeared on these pages before as part of a Ladies of Canada post.
It wasn't until a visit to Missing Records earlier this week that I had anything physical by her namely Cigarettes & Truckstops her 4th studio album from 2012 on Last Gang Records. I picked this up as part of a 3 for £5 package.
It seems to be a record of two halves (as are all of them I suppose). Even the CD distinguishes between the two sides. Side 1 appears to be more traditional honky tonk style country whereas Side 2 has more of an Gothic Americana feel about it.
Here is one of each. I'm filing it in the Americana section
one pound 66-and-two-thirds pence is a steal for that album. (Did I tell you I have just purchased 200 blank cds?)
ReplyDeleteThat should keep you busy
DeleteThe Gothic Americana song edges it for me, but both are very good. I will investigate further.
ReplyDeleteSide 1 for me, but then I'm not young, hip and edgy like that Khayem whippersnapper
ReplyDeleteThere's always room for old fogeys here
DeleteListened to both tracks but sorry not for me. Was waiting for a 'reveal' on the first track but it never came.
