We Say...
Record collectors tend to be men; so do record-collector musicians, the kind who own original pressings of the rarities they cover. London's Holly Golightly is that kind of rare bird, a whiskey sour-voiced ex-Headcoatee who likes tempos that drag and guitars that do the same. Formally, a lot of the songs on this 2001 collection are blues, and she's got the right kind of "oh yeah?" temperament to sing 'em; ditto her rambunctious take on Pavement's "Box Elder." Pick to click: "Believe Me #2," where the guitars snarl even harder than the singer.

They Say...
Singles Round-Up is nothing fancy, and just exactly what it purports to be: a compendium of 7"s from the first five years of Holly Golightly's solo career. As you'd expect from this former member of Thee Headcoatees, there are plenty of lo-fi garage sounds busting out here. But Golightly works equally hard at honing the cowboy, folk, and pop elements of these mostly original tunes. Naturally, anytime one resource compiles two dozen tracks originally scattered across eight labels, it's a handy item for fans. But Singles Round-Up is also useful for looking at Golightly's ability to bend a single piece of material to suite different moods. "Believe Me #1," for instance, swings on Western flare coupled with bluesy harmonica and double bass. "Believe Me #2" plows headlong out of the garage, complete with a squalling electric guitar solo. Though the disc includes a handful of vintage covers such as "Lonesome Town," the most satisfying interpretation is a jaunty (if faithful) romp through Pavement's "Box Elder."
