This induction to this journal's music/ arts honour roll society will have to go to The Black Belles out of Nashville, this is really a good sound and crew. I cant tell much about this crew because they dont really have alot of history, besides what you can link to through the Wikipedia or website above, they have an interview linked in there. They formed in 2009 and do have one full album out and a couple singles I believe. But Thanx as well to Jack White/ Third Man Records for taking an interest here and being a mentor to help them explore their potential and getting them signed to his label, Jack has a great eye and ear for talent and in my opinion picked a winner here for sure!

From what I gathered, they liked dressing in vintage clothing and wearing black, they love folklore and ghost stories, so that and the Bell Witch of Tennessee story helped inspire their name creating an image to go on. So far they say they are sticking with a 3 member crew, and Erin who it started with is no longer with them. I wanted to mix some "live" and video/ studio here, 1 of the pieces I know is a cover, "Lies" was from The Knickerbockers (and was a fav of mine as a kid), from the mid- 1960's. I dont know what genre at this time I would put them in (I mean, I could fit them into a few probably) ... they are labeled as "Garage Goth" ... but they just really sound good and have a fresh raw sound to them, so I look forward to future work out of this crew, and wishing each of you the best to come, Sincerely! ... Enjoy!
