Malcolm Holcombe, “Come Hell or High Water” (Gypsy Eyes Music)-Within the multi-faceted and endlessly rewarding world of Americana Malcolm Holcombe represents a genuine national treasure, and the prolific North Carolina native’s third album in as many years is a rough hewn melodic gem of the highest order. “Come Hell Or High Water” finds Holcombe enlisting the services of the similarly under-valued Iris DeMent on harmony vocals as he delivers his world weary musings on life, love loneliness and the human condition , with “Black Bitter Moon,” “October Moon” and “Torn and Wrinkled ” capturing the essence of his haunting and mesmeric sound.
