Reviews -Tell the Worry Dolls

This low-key, no-label release by Colchester singer-songwriter Ady Johnson might well be the first contender for album of the year.Johnson’s voice and face are both similar to Harry Nilsson’s, while the sound, an acoustic guitar-led barroom skiffle, is resonant of Badly Drawn Boy’s first record – plus, he has fantastic tunes to match. It’s refreshing to hear music in the folk genre being so dynamic and upbeat. Tell The Worry Dolls deserves to be massive. An excellent start to 2011. 9/10
