This is one scary Muther Trucker of a track. CRAZY GIRL (aka Tiff McGinnis) musters up a Voodoo inspired swamp rock number, based on Robert Johnson’s “Crossroads” (where he sells his soul to the devil in order to be the best guitarist that ever lived).
Shit, this single rocks, building hypnotically into an orgiastic frenzy of heavy guitars, solid drums and crazy vocals. There are no chord changes either, relying on the repetitiveness to entice the listener with all the magnetism of a snake charmer.
Crazy Girl is as hard as nails and nutty as a fruitcake - inventing her own form of symbolic mysticism called “The Seven Crazy Powers”, the depictions of which adorn her single cover. She sings “Living like a rebel/ Sold my soul to the devil/ Didn’t know what I was doing/ Cause I wasn’t level-headed”, and after listening to this, its easy to believe that this was actually the case.

If this single is anything to go by, her forthcoming album “Southern Belle From Hell” is going to be an absolute must.
