Blue Mother Tupelo
heaven & earth
Diggin’ Music
Some artists just cannot be kept down – they are irrepressible. Their years of traveling the roads of the South, playing anywhere they can and writing and performing some of the best tunes that two people can possibly put together eventually will show even the best critics and record labels that they are truly a force to be reckoned with. So it is with Blue Mother Tupelo, the husband and wife team of Ricky & Micol Davis of Hendersonville, TN. With this CD, self-produced and laden with a couple of friends, they have made one of the finest CDs I have heard this year. For the blues fans out there—you will take the Blues wherever you find it and realize that this music is true and, also, a product of the Southern fried tradition.
While not a Blues album per se, you just can’t get away from the fact that here are some great songs of love, faith, friendship, wandering and longing and beauty. From the mountains of Appalachia to Biloxi, from Clarksdale and Otha Turner’s farm to Tupelo and then to the hills and mountains of Tennessee this work is in the true American songwriting tradition.
These nice people have been together since meeting in Knoxville, Tn as college students. Their devotion to each other and to their musical life is so obvious in their songs; this CD proves you CAN DO IT YOURSELF. Produced, engineered and mixed in their home studio, they are true indie singer-songwriters that have put forth a thing of beauty. I predict some great things for Blue Mother Tupelo. Pick up the CD and Do Not miss them when they perform live.
