The Blood Oranges: Hell’s Half Acre

[purchase]

The Blood Oranges are one of those talented bands that came around just a bit too early or didn’t catch the kind of breaks that might have propelled them to the top of the 1990’s alt-country bubble. Whatever the reason, they disbanded after two albums and an EP, never making much of a splash.

Here’s a catchy one from their 1994 album The Crying Tree about Hell’s Half Acre.
