Holly Golightly's pedigree goes back to her 1990s stint in U.K. garage-punkabilly icon Billy Childish's band Thee Headcoatees. Golightly has one of rock's great female voices, with a slinky, disheveled grace equally adept at wounded flutter and sassy spunk. A little more than five years ago, she partnered up with Lawyer Dave, who became Golightly's one-man backing band, playing drums, singing backup and offering other instrumental accompaniment such as slide guitar. Dubbed Holly Golightly & the Broke-offs, they've bought a farm outside Athens, Ga., and released several albums that dive into backwoods country and blues, played with the same atavistic vigor Golightly brought to garage.—Chris Parker
