Blanche - Little Amber Bottles (CD, Vinyl LP)

"Blanche inhabit a stylised, old-time world of snake-oil peddlers and starched collars wilted by sin" - The Observer.·Blanche proved they could deliver the goods live when they toured the UK with The White Stripes in 2005. They then formed the spine of Loretta Lynn's backing band on her Grammy-winning, Jack White-produced ‘Van Lear Rose’ LP, providing the perfect foil to the grand dame of country's legendary voice.   ·At the centre of all this haunting yet inviting music are the married couple Tracee Mae and Dan John Miller. You may recognise Dan from the Johnny Cash biopic ‘Walk The Line’, in which he played Luther Perkins.   Surrounding their starkly poignant vocals is a group of top-notch musicians: pedal steel wizard Feeny, Little Jack Lawrence (of The Greenhornes and The Raconteurs) on banjo and mandolin, plus primal drummer Lisa Jannon. Little Jack handles lead vocals on his self-penned track ‘O Death, Where Is Thy Sting?’, while special guest Isobel Campbell plays cello on ‘No Matter Where You Go’.
