Mother Tupelo Blue Mother Tupelo is the husband and wife team of Ricky Davis (acoustic & electric guitars, dobro, vocals) and Micol Davis (piano, tambourine, vocals) who began performing together as a duo in 1995. Soon thereafter various musician friends including: drummers, bassists, harmonica players, fiddle players, saxophonists, keyboardists and auxiliary percussionists would sit in. BMT performs live in the original Davis duo format, as a trio with the addition of drums or bass, or as a 4-piece combo with bass & drums. Unique, passionate, inspired and unaffected by musical genres, Blue Mother Tupelo is pure heart and soul. "It's Tupelo, honey ... the songs blend N'Awlins-style blues with spare Appalachian acoustic grit, Southern rock grooves, '60s flower-power dreaminess and rootsy rock. Ricky plays a mean dobro, peeling off riffs as slick and juicy as a ripe peach, and Micol's voice is both steely and delicate, like a cross between Bonnie Raitt & Emmylou Harris ..." - The Tallahassee Democrat Shut Eye Records & Agency promoted Blue Mother Tupelo's album Heaven & Earth to Americana/Roots Radio in 2009. It hit the Top 40 on the AMA Americana Radio Airplay Chart for many weeks in 2009, debuted at #2 on the EuroAmericana chart, and received numerous adds on stations in the US and around the world. |
