Elson. That's Jack's missus that is, so HANDS OFF!! Another 7" of slow-burning, skanking bluesy proportions. I just love this girl's voice. She has a lilting, smoky burr that fits this swaying beaut like a glove. I seem to recall this being my fave track off her album so it was begging to be a dinked jukebox 7" to go with all the other "greats" on the Third Man label. Business Lady however certainly dislikes the low-slung funky flip 'Season of the Witch' though. It's a Donovan cover but sounds like it's been recorded in some dirty lounge in LA or summat. I appreciate her vocals but the drums sound like a watered-down David Holmes & there's an electronic guitar attachment gizmo that makes an unneccasarily horrid noise towards the end. So no need for the cover in our eyes, it half spoils the fact I totally dig the 'A' side...
