Audrey Auld Mezera – Lost Men And Angry Girls
Australian native Audrey Auld Mezera is finding America very fertile land. This disc marks her third release in three years; however, she continues to write to her strengths without treading over old ground. Mezera can be a sharp-eyed storyteller, whether talking about herself (the wistful expats lament Half A World Away) or about a strangers life (the riveting missing persons tale Last Seen In Gainesville). She also can flash some sly social satire (Self-Help Helped Me) or a powerful sense of moral indignation (We Cry), all the while sounding like your good friend. Looking For Luckenbach and Clinch Mountain Prayer continue her interest in writing about her musical influences; her sole cover, Morphine, features lyrics penned by Bonnie Parker (of Bonnie & Clyde fame).
