Holly Long City Girl (Skim Milk Productions ) Every now and then, an album comes along that really makes you stop, listen, and THINK. "City Girl" by Holly Long, covers all these bases. Holly is a brilliant song writer, and a gifted singer and pianist, who knows how to translate her life experiences in a thought-provoking meanful way, that reaches deep into the listener. Holly is an original, but one of those rare originals who somehow feels familiar, giving each song her unique treatment. She sounds established and professional; her delivery is at once timeless and contemporary. Holly collaborated with the award-winning producer and arranger Chris Horvath to produce 'City Girl'. for this album, she enlisted the talents of many well-seasoned musicians. These include: guitarist, Kevin Barry (Paula Cole, Jonatha Brooke); Nick Vincent (Hanson, Frank Black, Tito and the Tarantulas); Lance Morrison (Don Henley, Rod Stewart, Alanis Morrisette); Mark Harris (Stevie Nicks, Ben Taylor) and Mark Lennon (Phil Collins, Cher, Venice.) 'City Girl' is quintessential Holly Long: a true fusion of disparate influences, where identifiable components come together to form something indescribable and fresh. Holly's gently provocative brew of folk and pop elements holds a unique, magnetic pull. Featuring a batch of stunning originals, City Girl' is an intoxicating voyage into the mind of a invigorating boundless artist. With a strong following in LA, perhaps 'City Girl' will take this talented singer/songwriter to a much-deserved international audience.  Review by Ben Kettlewell information: Holly Long Skim Milk Productions P.O.
