MUSICIANS
Bass and vocals-Polly O’Keary
Guitar- Dave Miller
Drums-Tommy Cook

From Polly O’Keary and the Rhythm Method’s forthcoming album 50 comes the paint-peeling Texas blues single “Too Much LIke I Care.” Polly waspishly assures an old flame come back to town that his return means nothing to her, but she might a bit of an unreliable narrator!

The single showcases the nationally-touring Seattle trio’s many talents which made their last studio album, Black Crow Callin’, a 2018 IBC finalist for Best Self-Produced CD. Dave Miller’s scorching guitar work, Tommy Cook’s driving shuffle, and Polly’s relentless grooves perfectly support Polly’s take-no-prisoners vocals.

The song is a wonderful appetizer for the band’s sixth album named " 50 "

A century ago, blues was born in the fields of the South, played on porches and in little backwoods bars by kerosene lamp. The times have changed, and it’s a rare blues musician who grew up picking cotton and going home to learn to play by the light of a kerosene lamp.

Polly O’Keary certainly didn’t. Well, that is, she didn’t pick cotton. She picked apples. But she learned to read music by kerosene lamp, in a log cabin in a remote part of Washington State. She started playing in ex-pat bars in Mexico at 16, and Eastern Washington watering holes for rural farm workers at the age of 17. She dropped out of school with an 8th grade education, married a prison-bound man at the age of 18 and by the time she was 21 had logged more stage hours than most musicians twice her age. She’d drunk as much as a fair number of them as well.
