The Atlanta Journal-Constitution

Today’s Dispatch From the Road comes from Atlanta’s longtime, bluesy roots-rock singer-songwriter Michelle Malone, in town tonight for the Atlanta History Center’s new series: “Southern Music: Shaken & Stirred.”
Planning to go tonight — where Malone will be featured along with other “Whiskey Women” Blue Mother Tupelo and Little Country Giants? Remember her from her early Eddie’s Attic days?
Well feel free to reminisce as you read along…
Hey Ya’ll!
I thought I’d send you a little postcard to let you know that I’m doing great, even though I’ve been gone for so long.
I really do miss ya’ll…and the tall pines at Lullwater Park….Ahhh…I used to love walks and runs around the lake…
Oh, and I miss the BLT from Sun In My Belly….hmmm… I may have to swing by…anyhoooo…
I haven’t been in the ATL much since last spring when I recorded my new CD there with Nick Di Dia. He’s the brilliant local legend who records Springsteen, Pearl Jam, The Black Crowes, Train, etc…so you KNOW it sounds great!
We made a good team in the studio - like Lucy and Ethyl…or Starsky and Hutch…or mac and cheese…or Peanut Butter and Chocolate! YEA!
I worked hard on the songwriting, too. Apparently, I had alot to say. It was just an easy, relaxed recording experience…
It didn’t even feel like work! I actually enjoyed it, and that’s a first. Maybe you can tell that I’m in a great place these days - which just makes life easier, don’t you think?!
Repeat after me: “Change the way you look at things, and the things you look at change.” Thanks Wayne Dyer.
Am I blabbering too much? Guess the coffee’s kickin’ in!
As I was saying…the new CD, my 10th (where does the time go?!) is called DEBRIS. It’s full of heartfelt fun and good for what ails ya.
There’s plenty of swaggering slide guitar from me and the amazing Peter Stroud. There’s also several sweet ballads sure to bring a tear to your eye. Other hugely talented people who contributed to the record (and who I’m lucky enough to call friends) are Phil Skipper, Jonny Daly, Tony Reyes, Dave Anthony, Harold Sellers, and Trina Meade. They brought the love and the sass to tape!
I’m telling you, this CD will make you want to slap your mama AND will crack your heart wide open like a coconut! Pina Colada, anyone?
You can order your signed copy right here right now: http://michellemalone.com/mmsite2007/debris_store.html
There’s even a “Tell A Friend” special, if ya have any in need of a good time and a big smile.
I’ll be back home April 4th for the big CD Release Party at Eddie’s Attic - count ‘em -2 all ages shows!
I cant wait to see you - fire up the BBQ and put the Conundrum and Bud on ice - I’m coming HOME!!!
WISH YOU WERE HERE!
xo,
Michelle
