ANNE MCCUE's new album returns to the raw sound of critically applauded Roll and Koala Motel. Broken Promise Land was recorded in Nashville and features rhythm section of Ken Coomer (UNCLE TUPELO/WILCO) and Bones Hillman (MIDNIGHT OIL). McCue displays her grittier side and flashes her six-string chops with dirty-toned, blues-edged rockers such as Don't Go to Texas (Without Me), and ROSE TATTOO's Rock 'n' Roll Outlaw. With her dusky alto, McCue remains a spellbinder when she shifts gears, from the horn-kissed rock-and-soul of Cruisin' Paradise (Tenerife) to the atmospheric, vibes-accented Motorcycle Dream, and the seductively slithering The Old Man's Talkin'. Broken Promise Land is a prime example of raw and dirty blues rock in the new millennium.
