The other day I heard a review about Jesse Sykes on NPR.
The collaboration of guitarist Phil Wandscher and singer Jesse Sykes started from the ashes of broken bands. Wandscher had been fired from the legendary alternative country band Whiskeytown, which he started with Ryan Adams. Jesse Sykes’ band Hominy had dissolved around the same time her marriage came to an end. Now the two are featuring Wandscher’s lyrical guitar style and Sykes’ smoke-tinged voice. (listen)
My interest was peaked so I did a little searching. You can download an mp3 from her new album here: “The Dreaming Dead”.
Also, you can get more info on Jesse here and you can buy the new album there.
