Michelle Malone 1977 (CD)

(SBS Records) 10 tracks, digipack

Michelle Malone's musical roots run as deep and wide as the mighty Mississippi River as it winds through Southern rock, folk and country territories. "Malone is a master of blending blues and Americana music" (GUITAR PLAYER MAGAZINE). Her powerful live show takes you on a journey from the dirt roads of the deep, slow South to the bright lights of the big city, whether she's performing solo or with her electric guitar and mighty fine band. Michelle "has the soul of a blues man, the heart of a folk singer, and the guts of a rock 'n' roll star wrapped up in a fiery, bad ass" (NASHVILLE RAGE), and she's "uniquely capable of blowing the roof off the place and then turning around and whispering a soft song that will break your damn heart" (PASTE). Their live shows are upbeat and authentic, engaging and stirring, full of the raw energy and emotion that has always been part of their distinctive sound. Over the course of her 25-plus year career, Malone has shared the stage with artists from Gregg Allman to Blackberry Smoke, Albert King to Mississippi All-Stars Luther Dickenson, Bon Iver to Brandi Carlile, released more than 16 records to date and continues to earn the respect of her peers. Their latest release, Slings and Arrows (2018), debuted at #8 on the Billboard Blues chart and proves that their slide guitar chops are "outrageously good, a real revelation" (NO DEPRESSION). Her beautiful new Americana album, 1977, will be released April 22, 2022 with a subsequent tour.
