In My Time Of Dying / Devil's Got The Poison 2 Track CD single in cardboard sleeve. We call it trashy roots: raw, rhythmic, and possessed by something older than rock ’n’ roll itself.

Watch out! ‘LIVE AND UNDEAD FROM TEMPERANCE’ is coming soon on a limited Edition CD Digipack and will be available exclusively from our Voodoo Shack webstore (or as digital download via our Bandcamp page).
We didn’t think it would be possible to capture the energy and atmosphere of our live show on CD, but thanks to Adrian Gains at the Temperance Bar in Leamington Spa, by Jove we think we’ve done it!
Adrian recorded our live show in October 2023 and now we’ve mixed and mastered it down to ¼ tape with Ed Deegan at the vintage and analogue heaven that is Gizzard Recordings.
‘LIVE AND UNDEAD FROM TEMPERANCE’ out 18th March 2024
‘I’ll Put My Voodoo On You’, eleven tales of terror, love and destiny from the creepy and magical weird world of Jo Carley and the Old Dry Skulls.
Making deals with the devil never bodes well and sometimes voodoo antics backfire. A woman’s innocent trip to the jungle ends with a witchdoctor tricking her into marrying him. In the dead of the night she steals his zombie poison and uses it to set herself free. She now possesses all of his magic and celebrates the end of their tumultuous relationship, but he doesn't go away easy. Now a relentless zombie comes to bother her every night, creeping around giving her fright. Is she still under his spell?
Track listing:
1: Little Limbs of Satan 2: The Zombie 3: The Devil 4: She Got Him (With Her Voodoo) 5: Lose Your Soul 6: The Jungle 7: The Witchdoctor 8: Dead But He Won’t Lay Down 9: Under Your Spell 10: Crowhurst’s Lament 11: Shipwreck Blues 12: The Bone Readers
'Voodoo Bones & Vaudeville Blues' was recorded between April and September 2020 during the lockdown. With over 70 shows cancelled across Europe and the UK, the band decided to use the time and channel their creative spirits into something positive. Jo and Tim's tiny house on the east coast of England was converted into a recording studio and the album was recorded using old school techniques and just a few good microphones, with everything being engineered by the band themselves. This more primitive way of recording totally captures the bands unique sound. Jo's theatrical and powerful vocals are right upfront and the dynamics and energy of their live shows is captured on tape. The final recordings were mixed and mastered in just three days by Ed Deegan at Gizzard Recordings in London. Gizzard Recordings was chosen as it is one of the only vintage analogue studios in the country. The twelve tracks were mixed down to 1/4 mono tape using a collection of 1950's and 1960's reverbs and tape delays and vintage recording gear. The result is the bands most retro and authentic sounding record to date, it has all the vibe, sounds and character of the old Blues, Country, Skiffle, Calypso and Rock n Roll records that inspired them to make this album.
Nine tales that lure you between the cracks of reality and take you downtown to the underworld, where the hobos and down and outs are up to no good, jug bands hustle for change on poor man’s corner, zombies walk the night and the Voodoo Priestess rules all...

'THEM OLD BONES' Album 2017 - reviews:
"That nailed it, good stuff. Left of field stomper. A wonderful fusion of trad, old timey, New Orleans Voodoo Queen" - Mike Harding / Mike Harding Folk Show
"The pulsating core of ‘Them Old Bones’, the debut album from Jo Carley and The Old Dry Skulls, takes pretty much all the preconceptions you might have and throws them out... There are dark warnings, powerful accusations, gritty observations and singular attitude... this is a musical heist that robs you of ordinary and replaces it with exceptional" - Folkwords
Multi "London Junkyard Punk or Punk-yard London Junk?? brilliant!" - Punky Radio, non specific, absolutely great. Its Punky brilliant!" -genreRadio
"It ain't no sin to jump outta your skin and dance around in your bones... Bill Monroe fused with Augustus Pablo in an inspired skull-ripping Mad Scientist synthesis. This is a CD to make you Dance till you're dead, you have been warned!" Andrew Darlington RnR Magazine 2017.
"A spooky slab of backwoods punk, mixed with medicine show huckster and JCODS make deliciously devilish sounds. Something wicked coming this way. Highly recommended" - Folkcast
"Folk Instruments deployed with maximum attitude... A fresh take on Voodoo Folk Punk... 9/10" Vive Le Rock Magazine
Jo Carley and The Old Dry Skulls 2022 album 'I'll Put My Voodoo On You' - On 12" Vinyl, the way it should be heard!
Comes with an eight-page artwork, lyrics and photo book.
With the release of the bands fourth album ‘I’ll Put My Voodoo On You’, another chapter is here. Having escaped the witchdoctor she is now the ruler of all life on the island. You would think that being a powerful Voodoo Queen, life would be fine and dandy right? Well, sometimes yes, sometimes no. Amongst the chaos and the fun, there always seems to be something dark and evil lurking in the shadows...
If she offers you a little dose of her medicine, be careful what you wish for as a summoned devil can take on many an innocent shape. She sees your future, she sees your past, she tells you if you come to harm. But watch out! It’s not all unavoidable ill misfortune, sometimes you just gotta roll with it and let your hair down.
She leaves a lasting message for the great undead, you ain't gonna change the land unless you come out from under the sand...

‘I’ll Put My Voodoo On You’ is the bands fourth album and was recorded in their Voodoo Shack, down by the beach on the East Coast of England during the darkest days and longest nights of early 2022. These recordings were mixed and mastered to ¼ tape with Ed Deegan at Gizzard Recordings in London in the spring and summer of 2022. Their analogue and primitive way of recording totally captures the bands unique sound. Rooted firmly in a bygone era when Voodoo and Black Magic were rife, it has all the vibe, sounds and character of the old Blues, Old-timey Country, Skiffle, Calypso and Rock n Roll records that inspired them to make this album.
