Take note, all who revere primeval rockin’ country icons Wanda Jackson and Janis Martin: Australian pin up siren Shelley romps and stomps in those legends’ full-throated manner one moment, only to settle into winsome, heartfelt ruminating, the next. Add in head-turning, skirt-snapping brashness, and the redoubtable fretboard navigations of husband Lawrie, and this is an ardent EP effort both alluring and audacious. Lucky crowds at April’s Viva Las Vegas got a whirlwind sample.
Recommended “Bettie Bang,” “Thinkin’ ‘Bout a Boy,” “Zombie Fear,” “I Didn’t know What I Was Missing”
