Carley's Wreck and Ruin, a side project from English old school vaudeville blues trio Jo Carley And The Old Dry Skulls members Jo Carley (vocals, mandolin, washboard, percussion, keys) and Tim Carley (battered archtop guitar, rattlin' shoe, kick drum, distorted vintage amps, backing vocals), serves as an outlet for playing the tunes that inspired them to become musicians.
Lead single In My Time of Dying, originally a gospel song by blues artist Blind Willie Johnson, is a succint summation of their craft, getting the job done in two-and-a-half minutes, a far cry from the Led Zeppelin live versions, which tended to stretch it to ten minutes plus most of the time. The duo goes for an upbeat, almost joyous approach, that will be embraced by the dance types at their live shows.
In My Time of Dying is a self-released single. Buy it from their website.
