streets of Brooklyn. 'Hung To Dry' is taken from the critically acclaimed album 'Pray To Be Free': http://itunes.apple.com/gb/album/pray-to-be-free/id495874378 Produced by Coldplay's Guy Berryman and akin to the kind of classics Serge Gainsbourg recorded in the '60s with Brigitte Bardot and Jane Birkin, or Lee Hazlewood's similarly charged duets with Nancy Sinatra and Ann Margret, 'Pray To Be Free' has garnered superlative reviews across the board. As Berryman explains: "The songs collected on 'James Levy & the Blood Red Rose' document romance in all its guises: dark, twisted, hopeful and joyful. The sounds, drawing upon classic arrangements from the 50's and 60's, are melodic and lush and are hopefully a breath of fresh air in a world dominated by urban electronica." "Levy's baritone brings a velvety richness to string-drenched songs about infidelity and betrayal, while Pierce proves a distinctive foil. These are beautiful songs with a murderous heart" UNCUT**** "21st century take on the wry, sexually challenged but always beautiful '60s/'70s duets of Lee Hazlewood and Nancy Sinatra...they create an impossibly catchy magic...Q**** "Whether they sang as one, or better still, entwined their voices around the others like old slippers or young lovers , they soared" EVENING STANDARD**** "The growling boy/cooing girl dynamic of Nancy & Lee, Serge and Jane has been much imitated but few have produced a more convincing blueprint....his songs are simple and seductive helped by hints of dry bone humour....MOJO**** James Levy and The Blood Red Rose on facebook: https://www.facebook.com/pages/James-Levy-and-the-Blood-Red-Rose/7718097107 (C) 2011 Heavenly Recordings
