    Making deals with the devil never bodes well and sometimes voodoo antics backfire. A woman’s innocent trip to the jungle ends with a witchdoctor tricking her into marrying him. In the dead of the night she steals his zombie poison and uses it to set herself free. She now possesses all of his magic and celebrates the end of their tumultuous relationship, but he doesn't go away easy. Now a relentless zombie comes to bother her every night, creeping around giving her fright. Is she still under his spell?

    “9/10 …invigorating macabre blues to keep you warm this winter” – Viola Noir (Russia)

    "Tongue firmly-in-cheek they provide a full set of old school entertainment, a sideshow where vaudeville, blues and skiffle conspire to get their audiences to dance their asses off. – Hans Werkman / Here Comes The Flood (NL)

    “…a magic potion made up from early 20th century blues and old-time, post-war skiffle and rock'n'roll, Don't be scared, notwithstanding these weird times it's only
    entertainment and we like it!” - Tom Keller / Folkworld (Germany)

    “…a macabre fairytale, …Naughty creepy, full of sarcasm, this album predicts a wonderful performance when the band also visits Belgium during their tour in 2021, “So let's shake those bones together”!” – Luminous Dash (Belgium)

    “The rhythms are uplifting, Jo Carley's voice remains mysterious with a mischievous twist. Nice deep bass rhythms, screeching strings and ominous, rattling percussion chase a person through the land of the living dead.” Cultuurpakt.be (Belgium)

    “On ‘Voodoo Bones & Vaudeville Blues’, Jo Carley and the Old Dry Skulls do what they do very well. They continue to brew their unique concoction of voodoo and vaudeville and skilfully season it with some blues, rock and other fine spices that taste for more after dark…“ Eric Shuurmans / Rootstime.be (Belgium)

about

Jo Carley and The Old Dry Skulls are proud to announce their brand new album 'Voodoo Bones & Vaudeville Blues' out on the 4th December 2020. Twelve new songs that combine 1930’s voodoo sounds with a steamy broth of vaudeville, blues, rock and roll, calypso, and old-timey country.

‘Making deals with the devil never bodes well and sometimes voodoo antics backfire. A woman’s innocent trip to the jungle ends with a witchdoctor tricking her into marrying him. In the dead of the night she steals his zombie poison and uses it to set herself free. She now possesses all of his magic and celebrates the end of their tumultuous relationship, but he doesn't go away easy. Now a relentless zombie comes to bother her every night, creeping around giving her fright. Is she still under his spell?

‘Voodoo Bones and Vaudeville Blues’ was recorded during lockdown in the bands tiny shack of a house on the East Coast of England. When the pandemic hit, they threw out the couch and the TV, turning their living room into a recording studio, laying down twelve new songs using only old school techniques and a few good microphones. There they waited out the Lockdown until they could mix and master the recordings to ¼ mono tape with Ed Deegan at Gizzard Recordings in London. This analogue and primitive way of recording totally captures the bands unique sound and the result is the bands most retro and authentic sounding record to date. Rooted firmly in a bygone era when Voodoo and Black Magic were rife, it has all the vibe, sounds and character of the old Blues, Old-timey Country, Skiffle, Calypso and Rock n Roll records that inspired them to make this album.
