Bio
Tennessee Williams is attributed with saying the Southern Gothic literary style his name was often attached to described “an intuition, ofan underlying dreadfulness in modern experience”. Though his tales donot necessarily adhere to the stylistic criteria used in labeling a work Southern Gothic, New Orleans singer/songwriter Gill Landry reveals a true understanding of the purposes and effects Williams spoke of.
The Ballad of Lawless Soirez , Landry’s solo debut, has an almost cinematic feel...

“In lesser hands, Gill Landry's tableaus would come off contrived; his meticulously depicted portraits of the underside, unfulfilled, undesired, and unworthy would be busted as bogus. But Landry's too sharp a storyteller, too tuned-in a craftsman, too real, to find himself on the wrong side of suspicion. Like Tom Waits, John Prine, Steve Earle, and recent-years Dylan, Landry is down-to-business believable. His songs carry their own persona, and though they may be creepy and otherworldly at times and nasty and grubby at others, they're familiar while remaining at arm's length.... Landry is schooled and immersed in the great Americana musical traditions and he wears them well, his voice just labored enough to ensure he's been there and back and just homey enough to make you want to walk his lonely avenues. ”
