Charlie Marie

​Charlie Marie (from the E.P. Charlie Marie available as a self-release) (by Bryant Liggett)
Charlie Marie pulls no punches when delivers a succinct and efficient self-titled E.P. Charlie Marie is what records should be; quick, to the point doses to inspire the tapping of a toe and bobbing of a head, and then back out into the world. Knowing that the short attention span that infects today’s listener will directly influence the passing by of great records. It is best to make something with no filler, no wasted moments, just a direct shot of music and move on. Her second release, Charlie Marie is a Classic Country record for the Classic Rock and Alt Country crowd, Charlie Marie a soft and sweet voice over a rough and tumble band. 
A click-clack railroad rhythm and pedal steel guitar kick off “Rhinestone” with Charlie Marie dropping lines from Classic Country cuts of the past. Her opening claim ‘just because you wear a Stetson and you say you were made in Texas doesn’t mean your country and western’ sets a gritty tone accentuated by an equally gritty guitar solo. “Rodeo” with its dreamy steel is a lonely, broken hearted ballad about watching a rodeo star lover head back down the road realizing the ‘time spent with you is worth the goodbye’ while “Countryside”, with its 1970’s Country Rock charm, proves the song title has no limits. “Shot in the Dark” is a sad, slow, dive bar ballad, Charlie Marie closing out the E.P. with a turn-the-table tale of a strong-willed woman sticking it to a deep pocketed dude in the bouncy “Playboy”.  (by Bryant Liggett)
