Melody Walker is in the process of raising funds for her debut full length album, she’s using a her three track EP, entitled simply III to aid the effort and there’s an interesting back story to the lead off track Gold Rush Goddess – which you can check out at No Depression, the EP features Melody on tenor banjo, guitar and vocals with musical partner Jacob Groopman on mandolin, guitar and vocals, on the strength of the three tracks the album’s definitely worth a punt.
