Album Notes

With her 8th release, Michelle Malone continues to stake her claim as a satisfying Southern-flavored singer-songwriter in the midst of a pop wasteland. Malone lends her "down to the river" simple storytelling to everything from ballads to rockin' blues to create a fun, edgy, and raw CD that's stripped down and cranked up... Michelle lets if fly! This CD is a swamp-rocking, guitar-driven devil-may-care masterpiece that's been compared to Beggars Banquet from the Rolling Stones. You'll Love it -
I PROMISE!

Here's what the critics have said about Michelle Malone's CD Stompin' Ground:

"...raucous and jubilant...somewhere between Lucinda Williams and Shelby Lynne comes Michelle Malone alternating between soulful ballads and rowdy, riffy blasters." - ROLLING STONE

4 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

"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)


"...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


"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 Mag
