Performing WILD HORSES with Indigo Girls ..
LAFAYETTE with Will Kimbrough
Armed with a bottleneck slide, blues harmonica, and her signature gut-wrenching vocals, Moanin’ Michelle Malone ( a nickname given to her by Albert King after hearing her sing), is having so much fun these days that she can’t help but shake her Sugarfoot!Malone was born in the dirty south and grew up listening to her mother sing in the church choir every Sunday. When it came time to craft her own sound, she took those religious roots, blended in enough rock and soul to keep the devil satisfied, and came up with her 9th studio CD, Sugarfoot. It's a high-spirited stripped down blend of rootsy acoustic slide, gritty electric blues and explosive vocals – blues with just enough rough edges to get the medicine down. Sugarfoot sounds like the lost recordings of Bonnie Raitt and the Rolling Stones meeting up in Susan Tedeschi's garage for a late night jam session. And as is usually the case with Malone, the disc is an experience best enjoyed at high volume.Songs such as "Tighten up the Springs" ,"Rooster 44" and "Traveling and Unraveling" highlight Malone's devil may care attitude and her slide guitar, which is becoming more and more of a signature for her. "I'm having a good time with it," she says. "Since I picked up the slide, I feel more free - I'm having more fun." She’s also working hard - Malone plays all the guitar, blues harp, and mandolin on the new disc.Sugarfoot comes as close to capturing her raw spontaneity and grand, dirty, low-down power as anything to date. As well as being voted best blues guitarist on IAC.com, Sugarfoot have earned Malone critical acclaim on many "Best Of" lists including The Blues Critic Top 10 albums of the year, and multiple nominations for traditional blues rock album, best female blues vocals.In keeping with her rough and tumble attitude, Malone averages 200 days a year on the road, and has shared stages and tours with such blues legends as Charlie Musselwhite, Johnny Winter, ZZ Top, Marsha Ball and the late Chris Whitley, as well as folk icons Indigo Girls, Shawn Colvin, Jackson Browne and John Mayer. Malone’s live show is not to be missed - she can make the biggest venues seem as cozy as a camp fire, and an intimate venue feel like the center of the universe.BRThank you for your continued support of Michelle and all independent musicians.

Sugarfoot Reviews:"Sugarfoot is as raw, magnificent, dirty and low down as anything you'll ever want to hear in blues music - our blues-breaker CD for the week" - Dan "Elwood" Aykroyd, House of Blues Radio Hour "Adventurous, slithery and ebullient slide - sings and plays with cool confidence throughout ala Bonnie Raitt and Shelby Lynn - Blues Revue“Sugarfoot’ll take you down to the crossroads and send you back dazed, disheveled and half-naked.” – Harp“Generally stripped-back, but featuring terrific support, Michelle Malone is as well-rounded as she is supremely talented.” –Hittin’ the Note"Top 10 album of the year - Malone's rich vocals blew me away. Great range - straight up slide guitar rock bursting with attitude that'll "drop you to your knees". It's pure ear candy with a shot of Bourbon." - Bluescritic.com“Sugarfoot mixes grit, sass, soul and some sweet balladry into such a kick-butt collection, you’d think she was the daughter of George Thorogood and Susan Tedeschi.” -Star Tribune (Minneapolis)Contemporary Southern rock doesn't get any smarter or dirtier than this. Poetic lyric command, relentless energy, and nasty slide guitar make Sugarfoot riveting from the get-go." - Amazon.com“Toggling between amped-up blues rockers, powder-keg acoustic romps and the occasional roots ballad, [Sugarfoot] boasts the same combustible spirit that fuels Malone’s live shows.” –Performing Songwriter"Sugarfoot is blues-based rock and roll, raw and rough-honed, a modern-day Exile On Main Street - except that it has exceptional songs." - Creative Loafing (Atlanta)"With its stuttering backbeats, elegant slide guitar and stop-time boogie, Malone’s new Sugarfoot gives the blues aesthetic a shot in the arm. Malone closes the Bonnie Raitt gap." - Nashville SceneMalone wails like the devil's on her tail, but she isn't waiting for Satan to catch up before she catches fire" - Amplifier Magazine“Sugarfoot is just a timeless album.” –Scripps News Service"Malone is no sellout and has recorded another tough, no nonsense collection dominated by rugged blues rock." - All Music Guide"Michelle Malone continues to define and expand her Southern-ness with honesty, integrity and foot-stomping fire. Sugarfoot shows she has the chops, the resilience and the passion to break big on her own terms. - 4 STARS The Sunday Paper (Atlanta)She has the soul of a bluesman, the heart of a folk singer, and the guts of a rock and roll star all wrapped up in one fiery bad ass.” -Nashville Rage

Stompin Ground Reviews:"...2003's hands-down best Americana release from a female singer-songwriter." - HARP Magazine" Joyous! Malone and her band recall great lost ’70s singles of Rod Stewart fronting the Faces - BLENDER"The album is a honky-tonkin' ride through Southern-rock material, fueled by Malone's guitar prowess and sexual entreaties." -- Time Out New York"If the strong songs, crisp guitar work and soulful vocals of Stompin' Ground are any indication, we should start referring to Bonnie Raitt as the poor person's Michelle Malone. -highbias.com"...raucous and jubilant...somewhere between Lucinda Williams and Shelby Lynne comes Michelle Malone alternating between soulful ballads and rowdy, riffy blasters." - ROLLING STONE.com4 out of 5 Bunnies "... on this loose and blues-stoked new album, the rough-and-tumble Malone embraces her inner Keith Richards while churning up those Southern roots with the vigor of Lucinda Williams." PLAYBOY Magazine"Malone has plugged in this time around and ripped the roof of the Snack N Shack. She's the real deal. If STOMPIN' GROUND got any hotter, you'd have to slap a warning label on the thing and call it a hazard. " Plan 9 MagAND STILL MORE REVIEWS:"Her lyrics ripple with Dylanish imagery and a fierce will to survive." - Mademoiselle Magazine"The kind of singer and songwriter who can jolt things into overdrive." - New York Times"One of the few young female guitarists finding a niche outside 'alternative' music." - Guitar Magazine"A troubadour with grit and enough accessibility to warrant widespread acceptance." - Billboard Magazine"A songsmith on par with Paul Westerberg, Malone performs power pop without parallel." - Washington Times"Malone has steadily shaped music that is elegantly honest and genuine for over 10 years." - Curve Magazine"An exceptional voice capable of smoking langour and howling catharsis." - Washington PostClick here for Myspace glitter graphics and Myspace layouts
