Charlotte Marshall and the 45s Bootleg Liqor Review






Charlotte Marshall makes her presence known like a “Storm trooper in stilettos” with her EP Bootleg Liquor. The opener “Bootleg Liquor,” oozes a New Orleans swagger and sass. You can hear Charlotte’s voice have an imperial command on the music. The swinging sax solo just screams. “Who do you Boom Boom?” is a late evening blues song, in which Charlotte and the 45s bring to life. There is a hint of John Lee Hooker and Willie Dixon’s influence. “Dig my Love” a 60s soul styled ballad, could fit easily among classics like “Yesterday, Yester you, Yester me.” Charlotte has a presence and power in her voice that is so raw, guttural, and authentic. Charlotte Marshall and the 45s are as tight as a snare drum and their music is cooking too.
