'don't hurry for heaven' is the new record from virginia's devon sproule to follow on from the critically acclaimed and successful 'keep your silver shined'. devon has spent much of the last two years touring the uk and europe, both solo and with her band - touring with richie havens, lambchop's kurt wagner, and supporting back-to-back nights in london with lucinda williams. she was the first american to grace the cover of froots magazine and her appearance on 'later with jools holland' cocked the ears of fans and industry alike, informing them that yes, her surname does indeed rhyme with 'rock 'n roll'. recorded in a remote rural studio in england, the album captures the fantastically tight band that toured most of the summer festivals last year, produced by her husband the formidable guitarist and songwriter paul curreri, and featuring the pedal-steel playing of the legendary bj cole. and the great jesse winchester, a fellow southerner (and hero of sproule's), also makes a cameo appearance. continuing in the tradition of her previous works, 'don't hurry for heaven' sports a variety of sonic influences. sproule's youthfulness and romantic sense of humour are deepened by a hurling undercurrent of musical ambition and multi-genre awareness - amongst her own jazzy country songs, sproule and curreri even duet on a left-field, desert-bluesy version of black uhuru's 'sponji reggae'. her effortless delivery of a deceptively complex melody, or her charmingly badass guitar work, give out an infectious vitality that simply enthralls.
