"Is the running time of this three song EP a coincidence, or is it that former Afghan Whigs' frontman Greg Dulli seems to thrive on bad luck? Used as a precurser for The Twilight Singers' full-length opus, "Blackberry Belle", "Black Is the True Color..." is an excellent sampler of the Singers' "new sound" and departure from their "Twilight As Sung By..." sound. The difference isn't too drastic, but noticeable. The track listing is as follows;1. Black Is the Color of my True Love's Hair - This is a very cool song, almost sounds like a farewell to their previous album, "Twilight as Sung By...". Acoustic guitar, piano, subtle music that creeps up on you and turns into a soul-wrenching electric guitar masterpiece.
2. Domani - I love this track. It's definitely a preview of the overall sound of "Blackberry Belle". It's sweeping chorus and rock roots usher in a whole new sound for the Twilight Singers.
3. Son of the Morning Star - This danceable ditty is rich with sounds, builds into a grand crescendo of emotion into the end of an incredible disc.All three tracks are unavailable anywhere else, and this EP is extremely limited, so buy one (or two) while they last."

More great Dulli

"I stumbled onto this after picking up Blackberry Belle (also outstanding), and it is a great companion EP to that record. In addition, it features exquisite cover art and is a limited edition. If you're a fan of Afghan Whigs, I'd highly recommend rediscovering Greg Dulli with this EP and Blackberry Belle."

Dulli is back
