Ranui Records Helen Henderson¡¯s bio may read that her roots are in New Zealand, but on her recently-released album Twisting Wind, she sure sounds like someone with Texas blues in her veins and Delta mud between her toes.
Take a healthy helping of not-quite-as-tortured Lucinda Williams and combine it with some of the sultry swagger of Austin blues belter Lou Ann Barton; stir in some of the smart smoothness of Edie Brickell and you¡¯ll begin to capture Helen Henderson¡¯s sound on Twisting Wind. The rest is all her.
There¡¯s a warmth and folkiness when the moment calls for it that¡¯s just as real as the raw, bluesy stuff ¨C neither ever sounds forced or out of character.
