Big Hands Colvin |

Friday, 24 August 2007 |
Overnight Low is the album, Zoe Montana, of Radio IO Acoustic listed as one of her "essentials" and called a "beauty start to finish..." This much anticipated follow-up to Big Hands Colvin's 2005 "Real Strong Stuff" hits consistent highs with more blues, rock and folk originals.
The CD opens with the title track, a contemporary blues tune that has Colvin singing about the time he "rode his thumb" across country, where "You've gotta get high to survive the overnight low." The horn section shines here, but the story is the thing and Colvin tells it masterfully. Autobiographical songs carry the listener along, including the inspired "Destiny" and the darker, jazz-influenced, "Still Ready", where Colvin remembers driving his father home from the local bars as a child. Ultimately though, it's tracks 7 and 8 that might show Big Hands at his best. "Heaven" features Colvin's smoky vocals, and some of the record's heaviest lyrics, and "Diamonds in the Sand" moves like a modern spiritual, riding Colvin's voice and the incredible fiddle of guest artist, Julie Beaver.
Colvin has been on the road too long for overnight success, but with Overnight Low he continues to establish himself as one of the more interesting independent singer-songwriters around. --Johnny "Michigan" Morris.
