about
"The title suggests despondency, but Angela James’s debut EP, Down and Out, transcends cry-in-your-beer country. In her hands, Americana is something best delivered with care, slowed to a crawl and unspooled gently, yielding dusty, delicate passages that put you in a sleepy honky-tonk. The singer-guitarist, who moonlights in Judson Claiborne, carries an old-fashioned charm, and her voice bears ample trace of her Tennessee roots. While usually suffused with a quiet dignity, she occasionally reveals a rugged bite not unlike Neko Case, though James works in a more traditional mode. “Wanna Be Lyin with You,” a rustic waltz, sounds timeless, and swooning pedal steel illuminates “Fortress,” while the title track layers that instrument with Katie Wiegman’s vibraphone for an effect that’s at once ominous and luminescent. Far from down and out, these songs suggest an artist on the up and up."
