About Me |

BLUE MOTHER TUPELO'S sound is signature ... a southern blend with universal appeal. It's all about soul - mountain, delta, swamp, river, sunshine and rain. Some Reviews: BLUE MOTHER TUPELO IS QUITE POSSIBLY THE BEST HUSBAND AND WIFE DUO YOU'VE NEVER HEARD OF. Paste Magazine Micol and Ricky Davis, and whomever happens to be their drummer at any given time, play swampy, gospel-tinged southern soul-blues. Micol displayed the full-bodied vocal fire of Janis Joplin, while she rattled and slapped her tambourine with the ecstasy and know-how of a black gospel choir member. Ricky played muscular, stabbing figures on acoustic guitar and dobro, and the two joined in close, soul-searing harmonies like only intimate kin can. When the couple sang an A capella rendition of the old gospel number "Wish I Was in Heaven Sitting Down," the result was a heady blend of otherworldly longing and thisworldly passion, bodies swaying and tambourines shaken emphatically.from The Tennessean Craig Havinghurst ... Micol and Ricky Davis bring to Mississippi blues the same historic respect and modern sensibility that Gillian Welch and David Rawlings bring to old Appalachian music.from The Metro Pulse Leah Willis ... What shakes more than cherries in a moonshine jar, and isn't much bigger? That would be the petite Ms. Micol (pronounced "Michael") Davis. You've not seen rhythm until you've seen the percussive jingle of Micol's tambourine snake through her body, head to toe, as her husband Ricky licks out expressive slide guitar. Micol's raspy voice pleads: Put your head on my shoulder baby/ Show me that you love me/ Make everything alright. She's all delta soul and siren femininity. And Ricky responds: Hold me in your arms baby/ Squeeze me real tight/ Show me that you love me/ Make everything alright. He's backroom blues and Appalachian mountain staying power. ... Blue Mother Tupelo creates just the right balance of impassioned vocals and controlled rhythms. It's the confluence of a turbulent, cool mountain stream and a warm, sunny river— that eddy where the water's just right. Dive in. Watch BMT! Ricky & Micol at Wine Over Water in Chattanooga, TN "Give It Away" See Ricky & Micol! They were JAMMIN' AT HIPPIEJACK'S early on a Sunday mornin' ... "Appalachian Sunshine" Hear BMT!
