about

The debut album by Salt Doll was released on Topplers in 2008. This was a bit of a departure for Topplers Records in as much that it was a well produced, beautifuly crafted, subtle folk-rock album and not ramshackle DIY punk like most of their catalogue!

Salt Doll was Christine Isherwood and Terry Koivunen. Christine Isherwood supplied the female vocals to Steve Treament's early singles.  Having had a previous band together as The Jealous Lovers in London, time and life had rent them apart and they found themselves living on different sides of the Atlantic, Christine in the USA, and Terry in the UK.  They came together again in London and created this sumptious album with world class session men. The Salt Doll CD came in a Standard Jewel Case containing a big foldout sleeve with lyrics and some very watery photos!

released August 8, 2008

The debut album from Salt Doll was a collection of 11 bittersweet songs with an acoustic feel and an electric atmosphere and it features the golden voice of Christine Isherwood and the plucky guitar of Terry Koivunen. Terry and Christine are backed up by the 'Brothers in Law' a razor sharp band featuring the talents of Kevin Poree, Lee Damarell, John Riches, Paul Seacroft, Julian Thorne and Catriona Cormack.

'The Brothers in Law' comprised of Lee Damarell of Pullover on electric bass; Paul Seacroft of such luminaries as The Selecter and Prince Buster, on steel guitar; Julian Thorne of the mighty Inspector Tuppence and Hubber on double bass, and joined for the occasion by Catriona Cormak (ex of Kicker) on french horn and trumpets. On drums the legendary John Riches; and Kevin Poree, a luminous soul, lent his skills to keyboards and backing vocals.

The Washed Ashore Collection was produced by Kevin Poree at Berry St Studios in London.
