Search - Michelle Malone, Drag the River :: Relentless

Relentless-ly Draggin' the River

"I remember getting a strange feeling when I heard that I'd better hurry to buy this CD as it was being liquidated within months (weeks?) of distribution. I know that Michelle Malone (and I suppose her throng) did not like the situation surrounding this release, however, that should not prevent this recording from being dredged up and thoroughly enjoyed! This tight recording showcases her unique voice, songwriting ability and musicianship. Still one of my favorite discs."

20 years and still in my heavy rotation list

"It has been 20 years since the release of this CD, and it still thrills me now just as it did then. I could go on about how it was about 5 years ahead of its time when it was released. I could go on about how many of my friends ask me about the songs from this disc when I play music at parties, in the car, etc. The truth is this disc has earned a place in my top 20 all-time favorite discs. No easy feat, given I own well over 1000 discs spanning music over the last 40 years. It was a rare miracle that led Michelle Malone to hook up with Drag the River and create this magical blend of Southern Rock and Atlanta folk, all with that amazing undercurrent of thinking-outside-the-box songwriting Michelle does so well. If you find this disc, snatch it up and play it often. You will not be disappointed."
