If you’re of a certain age and inclination, you’ll welcome Anne McCue’s Koala Motel as kin to Pretenders II, Shoot Out the Lights and Rumours. But while some artists boast their influences like a window display at a trendy vintage store, counting the gems on on the Australian singer/songwriter’s second disc is like walking through an art gallery, with something to delight and intrigue at every turn. There’s the fuzzed-up scrim of her blues guitar on “As The Crow Fliesâ€; the harmonies (with John Doe), reminiscent of Richard and Linda Thompson, in “Driving Down Alvaradoâ€; the plaintive country edge of “Shivers.†On this last track... McCue sounds like her alto came out of God’s workshop. She’s confident, polished, smart, and Koala Motel is wholly original — and indelible.Sounds perfect!
