Familiar ground - ATL music favorite Michelle Malone returns to her old Stompin Ground with upcoming show at Eddies Attic.
Just back from four months on the road, Malone is still celebrating the success of her latest album, “Stompin’ Ground,” which was released in September and garnered rave reviews from Rolling Stone and Playboy.
Now openly lesbian, involved in activism and determined to retain all control of her own music, Malone’s "Stompin Ground" is a testament that the devil’s music never sounded so good.
With roots reaching back to Bonnie Raitt and the Indigo Girls (Daemon is Amy Ray's label), Malone, like the similarly overlooked Danielle Howle, has a knack for taking the best elements of folk, country, blues, roots and rock, and mixing them up in a way that's warm and filling.
Stompin' Ground opens with some chilling steel-sounding guitar and then "Lafayette" chugs to life before bursting into the type of dusty rocker that would make John Mellencamp green with envy.
What makes Stompin' Ground so wonderful is that it has the sound and feel of some good musician-friends just sittin' on porch, sippin' whiskey out of a shared jug and spinnin' out stellar tunes for anyone who might happen to stroll by.
