Ally Venable, “Texas Honey”(Ruf Records)- Singer and guitarist Ally Venable follows in the illustrious footsteps of fellow Texan Stevie Ray Vaughan as she unveils her eagerly anticipated third album, building on the solid foundations laid by its’ well received predecessors, “No Glass Shoes” and “Puppet Show.” Ally’s gritty brand of roots rock may be steeped in the timeless spirit of the blues but she’s not averse to conjuring up the odd memorable chorus either, as listeners will discover for themselves if they lend an appreciative ear to the anthemic delights of prime cuts such as “Long Way Home” or “Broken.”
