Favourites : Mollie O'Brien : Big Red Sun

I bought Big Red Sun at a small shop in St Kilda on a Sunday afternoon with Terry and Heather. Must have been about 12 or 13 years ago.  It was on sale and now I have NO IDEA what made me buy it.

NO IDEA.

But I am glad I did as this is an excellent Country Blues album.  I now know that Mollie and her brother performed bluegrass and sang together as Tim and Mollie O'brien and I even have one of their albums.

However this is a great piece of music - I especially like her covers of John Hiatt's Love Like Blood. Lucinda Williams' Big Red Sun Blues and Randy Newman's Rollin.  Also worth checking out No Ash Will Burn.

However the whole album is great.  Recommended if you can find it.
