Dolly, Gillian, Wanda & now Lindi?
Lindi Ortega! A new voice. A great talent. 'Little Red Boots' is the name of her debut CD (here now via Rough Trade, following on from 'The Drifter', a first EP from 2009.)
'Little Red Boots' is a refreshing, sparkling and kicking CD. Clearly no assembly-line work but rather, as the SF Examiner described it: 'She’s got the down-home trill of early Dolly Parton, the rockabilly wallop of vintage Wanda Jackson and the rustic lyrical outlook of prime Gillian Welch.' More hot boasting here.
Lindi Ortega has Mexican and Irish roots, lives in Canada's Toronto and would seem to be a big fan of Frida Kahlo and Johnny Cash (or does 'backings' every now and then, for Brandon 'Killers' Flowers for example.) Her 'Little Red Boots' bring her to the ABClub solo on this Saturday evening. Follow her!
