Georgia's Horse - Shepherd EP

Single Review by Gordon Bruce | 01 May 2009
Single title: Shepherd EP
Artist: Georgia's Horse
Label: Fire
Release date: 4 May

In the dusty backstreets of the deep South, tumbleweed clogs drains and cowboy boots pound the ground, while tension, as thick as the dust scorched by the midday sun, is around every corner. This is the backdrop which Teresa Maldonado, aka Georgia's Horse, wants you to picture when you listen to her music. And how vividly she depicts it. Distant echoes of guitar pluck their way through Shepherd as what sounds like hooves on the gravel form the percussion, then Maldonado's voice, with her Southern sneer shot through dirty radio feedback, relates stories about death in the barren streets she calls home. If you ever want to get lost in another world, Georgia's Horse is ready to take you there.
