You might think a husband-and-wife duo with a name like Honeyloaf would put out a record dripping in saccharine sweetness, but The Honeytone EP has something to say about assumptions. True, there’s some lovin’ content (particularly the fun, ’50s-esque “I Can Hear You Talking”) but mostly this six-song EP (which features five originals and a pretty decent cover of “Ring of Fire”) is a great collection of tunes that have elements of blues, country and folk brushed with a tinge of nostalgia—but not the sticky-sweet kind.
