Dolly Ranchers - Escape Artist [CD]

Turning country music on it's ear, the Dolly Ranchers have been compared to everyone from Patti Smith to Freakwater. Hailing from the high desert of Northern New Mexico, this all-girl, alt-country quartet creates ramblings on whiskey, passion and the romance of the open road. The Dolly Ranchers bring to the stage and to their recordings a feeling of travel and adventure; of a spontaneous road show in an unexpected place or the sweet melancholy of hitchhiking on a lonesome sunny highway. They are known for their on-stage antics and fierce musicianship, all honed to perfection by their experience as circus performers in the One Railroad Circus. Imagine Woody Guthrie and the Wicked Witch of the west on a romantic hayride under a starry sky. The Santa Cruz Good Times says 'If Johnny Cash and Merle Haggard got drunk on whiskey and mated, these four fine girls might be their children', while the Santa Fe Reporter calls the Dolly Ranchers,'the all female power quartet of cheerfully misanthropic, old school, way-up-in-the-mountains country. Refreshingly honest, unapologetically country'. ****also-check out Dolly Ranchers guitarist Marisa Anderson's solo debut-Holiday Motel!
