The first single from Afton Wolfe's album "Kings For Sale" - "A gorgeously ragged anthem hinting at a great album to come." - Dave Franklin.
lyrics
Dirty Girl, Dirty Girl, come with me to New Orleans.
We’ll go on down to Oxford Square
at Christmas time and see ol’ Jimbo there.
Then at the Graduate, you gon and messed up my hair.
Say, do you remember what we did in Oxford Square?
Dirty Girl, Dirty Girl, come with me to New Orleans.
We’ll stop off round bout old Clarksdale
at the Repass, where everybody’s dressed so well.
Razorblade and Shankerman and Kings for Sale
Ain’t nothing we can do, it’s all for the family now, in old Clarksdale.
Dirty Girl, Dirty Girl, come with me to New Orleans.
Take me out in Jackson town
to The Underground with Mr. Nutty Brown,
F.Jones and tired bones and rain falling down.
Hey, don’t tell nobody what we did in Jackson town.
Dirty Girl, Dirty Girl, come with me to New Orleans.
When we get there we’ll get some Good Voodoo
Some tasso and trombone, some gator too.
Ah, you know I took the long way home like I always do.
846 miles in a rental car with me, the Pope, and you.

Afton is a product of his home, Mississippi. It is the birthplace of at least 2 American art forms: country
music
and blues music. Meridian is the birthplace of Jimmy Rodgers, while the Mississippi Delta is the
birthplace of the blues, and the first rock n’ roll notes ever played, according to some music historians,
came from Hattiesburg. Afton also draws much of his style from nearby New Orleans....more
A beautiful album that somewhat juxtaposes this artist's normally-abrasive and raw sound which you should also explore. Her vulnerability on this record is stunning. Afton Wolfe
Cary Hudson is the man. This is his newest record. It's as fantastic as everything else he's done, which is better than everything else most anyone else has done. Afton Wolfe
A vibrant vision of "Central Americana" from the Costa Rica-based artist, blending heartland devotionals with playful Tropicália grooves. Bandcamp New & Notable Apr 27, 2022
