The Coffin Fits

There's a Snake in My Boot(leg)   Digital 

(Self-issued)



Cooked up in an Enzed Garage, spookiness rides the wild surf. Triple-time snare hustles, while ominous acoustic negotiations explore long-desolate and spider-webbed manses. Voices suddenly pounce; the lead is surly, the chorus ones, spectral. 

Recommended: "Crankenstein," "Baby I've Changed," "Werewolf Island," "Poltergassed," "Mortal Acoustic"

Tami Neilson

Songs from the Motion Picture "Holy Days"   EP

(Outside Music)



A voice whose massiveness defies measurement. Tami is all over Aretha's "Are You Sure," bending it into cool Soul shape that demands respect for its emotive gospelizing. Proud-out-loud revival stomp colors "Sister Mavis" no less robustly; that tribute to Mavis Staples and percussive joy "Queenie Queenie" -- a jump-rope chant -- graced Neilson's 2020 Chickaboom; their return for cinematic employ gladdens. 

Recommended: "Are You Sure," "Sister Mavis" "Queenie, Queenie"

Boom! Boom! Deluxe

"Backseat Bingo"  single

(Self-issued)



Cha-cha rhythms folded into Americana rootsiness demand surrender. Before the mind's eye, hip-dipping, he-and-she pairings lock lidded eyes in dances d'amour. Memories are made of this.
