​Andrea & Mud (from the album Bad News, Darlin’ available as a self-release)
Not really a call and response duet, Andrea & Mud choose sides and each take a corner (issue) on their recent release, Bad News, Darlin’. A plucky guitar riff and stuttering twang support Mud as he ponders “The Reason Why She Cries”, sitting at the local bar emptying his wallet as Andrea points out that even though ‘you can’t be true I still fold your clothes and bake your pies’. Bad News, Darlin’ needs to come complete with a score a card, Mud singing to an exiting Andrea ‘I saw right through the bullshit when I looked into your eyes’ in “Leave” while Andrea addresses a loveless letter to Mud passed-out on the floor with “Lines”, spelling out the heartache as you’re the reason I cry each night, you’re the reason I writhe in pain’.
Dusty, windswept, and sunbeaten Alt Country is the backtrack for Bad News, Darlin’. Housebound “Used Car Salesman” walks proud over a gnarly six-string burping out notes, the mood darkening like storm clouds as the sun dawns on bad decisions in “Birmingham, AL 8:30AM”. Based in Atlanta, Georgia, Andrea & Mud make a splash with Bad News, Darlin’, paddling their homegrown honky tonk out to sea for a surf-western sound, the pair co-producing the album with Damon Moon at Standard Electric Records in Decatur, Georgia. Andrea & Mud busk down at the crossroads with “Hellhounds”, cruise across Georgia in “Little Blue Truck”, and exit Bad News, Darlin’ on a mash-up of Skeeter Davis and Saturday Morning cartoons with “End of the World/Bullwinkle Pt.3”.
