The Countess of Fife is the alt-country outfit led by Fay Fife of the Rezillos and Alan Mcdowall. They release their long anticipated debut album Star of the Sea now on vinyl.
Fay Fife has long been an enigmatic figure in Scottish music. Known for her time as punk front women, she has earned a reputation for her songwriting and stage presence. The Countess of Fife shows another side to her talents, blending elements of punk, country, americana and gospel. Fife was front woman of The Rezillos, formed in Edinburgh in 1976. Their debut studio album Can't Stand The Rezillos was released in 1978 but the band split up shortly after release.
