Fleur Jack and The Jandals
Ghosts of Cimarron
Rangi Records
Fleur Jack’s debut offering symbolises a lot more than just its role as a presentation of sound; Ghosts of Cimarron signifies the fact that you can make a country/folk album in Aotearoa - and a good one at that. Granted, mention of Kiwi idiosyncrasies in GOC are markedly absent, and the music is near-indistinguishable from the country twangs of the international scene (both vocally and instrumentally). And of course, I mean this in a good way.
