Re: Paper Dolls Band - Pray for Rain
Here's a video of Victoria displaying some of those monster chops. This is from an earlier time, when the current trio was part of a larger family band, Band Of Kelleys. If the recent video is indicative of the new lineup's identity, they seem more intent on featuring Victoria's singing and songwriting, a bit more than her playing. That's not to say there isn't evidence of her skill - indeed, the mastery of her instrument she shows in her perfect execution many times of those slides is proof of that - but it seems that, much as Sarah Jorosz currently and Alison Krauss beginning long ago - she's concentrating on other aspects of her musicianship.
Or that's just what they deemed appropriate for this song.
But that's just my opinion. I could be wrong. - Dennis Miller
