"Equal parts badass guitar slinger and sweet songstress, with masterful lyrical introspection - sublime to raucous.
-GUITAR WORLD
"raucous and jubilant - somewhere between Lucinda Williams and Shelby Lynne comes Malone alternating between soulful ballads and rowdy, riffy blasters."
- ROLLING STONE
“Michelle Malone has one of the most remarkable voices I’ve ever heard, uniquely able to blow the roof off the place and then whisper a soft song that will break your damn heart.”— PASTE MAGAZINE
The soul of a bluesman, the heart of a folk singer, and the guts of a rock and roll star wrapped up in one fiery bad ass” -NASHVILLE RAGE
