If naming themselves after a Dylan song doesn't put you off, this New York quartet is well worth investigating. Largely because of frontman Mike Montali's microgrit sandpaper voice, they sound a lot like the wonderful Delta Spirit but whereas that band has moved towards a more contemporary sound, this lot brandish their unreconstructed country-blues roots like a banner for good ole boys to rally around. Produced in Nashville by the estimable Adam Landry, the album is virtually live in the studio, giving it a rare immediacy in an age of over-produced country-rock. Hollis Brown are refreshingly rough-edged and Jon Bonilla keeps his fiery guitar solos to a minimum, so the songs themselves become the focus of attention.
