Dirt Don't Hurt
Dirt Don't Hurt is the second official album by Holly Golightly and the Brokeoffs, former members of the band Thee Headcoatees. It is a collaboration with her long-time bandmate Lawyer Dave. Reception. Critical. Mojo magazine said the album is "not much different (from their first album), and that's no bad thing with Holly Golightly and Lawyer Dave's self-produced duets recalling Leadbelly and Jimmy Reed, as well as the gospel recordings of Loretta Lynn and Nancy & Lee." However, Uncut magazine said it "sounds alarmingly authentic." "Pitchfork" magazine found the album "a heartily  ramshackle affair, with pots and pans for percussion, rudimentary banjo picking, and what sound like first take on every track. The album's clattery rawness is its chief appeal." Allmusic said ""Dirt Don't Hurt" isn't necessarily magical, but it is fun and breezy, as well as a nice addition to Golightly's impressive catalog."
