Album Name: Lucy Mongrel
Artist: Lucy Mongrel
Year/Label: 2000 / Joe Records
Review by Anna Maria Stjärnell
Lucy Mongrel is the alter ego of blues singer Kate Hart who makes what she calls “mongrel music”.
This is a great excuse for Hart to throw on her quirkiest voice and incorporating as many musical influences as she can.
Some people wont get it but it’s their loss. The rest of us can thrill to the insanely catchy “Max the Circus Cat” and the would-be blues anthem “Livin ‘the blues” to name just two of Lucy Mongrel’s songs.
This is a rare musical treat that should be savoured by the wild at heart.
