GO, Get Gone is the debut album from harmony-singing, banjo-playing Zoe Nicol and guitarist Rosie Jones, first brought together at an open mic when studying music in Liverpool.
Their journey has since taken them to East Nashville, via quitting London day jobs, to work with veteran producer Neilson Hubbard and songwriting collaborators Jeff Cohen, Ben Glover and Joe Doyle after arriving with no songs.
To their own playing skills, they have added guest contributions from Wild Ponies, Eamon McLoughlin and Kenny Hutson. The Nashville path is becoming well trodden, Worry Dolls following in the steps of The Shires and Ward Thomas, who both returned with chart-topping English-rooted country-pop albums.
Worry Dolls are less likely to trouble the chart peaks, Go Get Gone being proficiently written and beautifully played and sung but falling tantalisingly short of the gold standard of Swedish sisters First Aid Kit. They sing of life on the road (Endless Road), regret (Miss You Already) and being screwed over (Passport), familiar country-folk themes to be aired at York's Black Swan Folk Club tonight.
