Holly Golightly and The Brokeoffs You may know the English chanteuse named after Truman Capote's protagonist in Breakfast at Tiffany's from her appearance on the White Stripes' Elephant, but Golightly's been delivering vintage-flavored rock 'n' roll since Jack White was a pimply teenager. A member of the all-girl garage rockers Thee Headcoatees in the early '90s, Golightly struck out on her own in 1995 and has released a string of records remarkable for their range – from Wanda Jackson rockabilly, Bakersfield boogie and Nuggets psych-rock to slinky Nancy Sinatra and Patsy Cline twang. Golightly and Lawyer Dave (aka The Brokeoffs) bought land in Georgia recently, and their latest records sound like they were dug directly out of the red clay. This one's not to be missed. With Bruce Hazel & Some Volunteers. Snug Harbor
