The Vaudeville Mews presents...
Malcolm Holcombe's new album Down the River, his ninth, is born from that bed of contradictions we all lie in. There are songs here such as "Twisted Arms" and "Whitewash Job" that sizzle with anger at a society that seems intent on losing its way and running over its poor and disenfranchised. These are coupled with songs from a softer, more generous perspective such as "The Crossing" and "In Your Mercy," written in the voice of an old woman who sees "All I worked for/…sold and surely gone," but who trusts that "many years will tell the truth." There is truth embedded in these songs the way quartz is embedded in the steep driveways and black dirt of Malcolm Holcombe's western North Carolina.With:
