Holly Golightly & The Brokeoffs - Sunday Run Me Over

"Golightly's songs are so fresh and timeless they could have been recorded yesterday or 40 years ago." — Playboy.com

"A truly appealing tunesmith."  — Entertainment Weekly

Sunday Run Me Over is Holly Golightly's fifth duo album as the Brokeoffs — a duo consisting of Golightly — the London-born, Georgia-based singer/songwriter/guitarist and her longtime band mate Lawyer Dave, a Texas-bred multi-instrumentalist and longtime collaborator. Holly Golightly & The Brokeoffs were winners of the Ninth Annual Independent Music Awards for the best Americana album, Dirt Don't Hurt. In 2003, she sang with The White Stripes on the track "It's True That We Love One Another" on their fourth album, Elephant. It's one of nearly 30 albums on which the pioneering Golightly iconoclast is featured, either as a solo artist or a band member.

Sunday Run Me Over finds Holly Golightly and the Brokeoffs mining an assortment of rootsy musical sources to create such deeply expressive, unmistakably personal tunes as the chugging opener "Goddamn Holy Roll (a line from which gives the album its title), the ghostly, loping duet "They Say" and an off-kilter waltz "One For The Road." Holly and Dave recorded Sunday Run Me Over in their modest studio built by Dave on the rural parcel of land that the pair shares near Athens, Georgia, where they rescue horses, dogs, chickens, geese and goats alongside making music.
