Her music is ingrained in the sounds of the south, mixing the rebellious stomp of roadhouse rock \u0026amp; roll with the raw grit of blues, the holy-rolling rasp of gospel, the slow-motion swagger of country-soul, and the organic warmth of folk music. Proudly based in Atlanta, Georgia, she's always worn her influences on her sleeve — but her music is unmistakably her own. With 1977, Michelle returns to her roots as a singer\/songwriter. This is an organic, stripped-down album that finds her looking to the past to help make sense of the present. Informed by artists like Neil Young, Linda Ronstadt, Jackson Browne, and Fleetwood Mac — all of whom were mainstays on the FM radio during the late 1970s, back when Michelle first picked up her guitar and began to play along — 1977 tones down the amplified bombast of her previous albums, focusing instead on a reflective mix of acoustic guitar, timeless melodies, and unforced arrangements. It's a reminder that Michelle Malone's songs always pack a punch, regardless of the decibel level. “I'm a big fan of 1970s music, especially singer\/songwriters from the Laurel Canyon scene,” she explains. “1977 is the year I started playing guitar — the year I started becoming ME — so music from that era has always felt special. It takes me back to a place that was safe, sound, and comforting. That's the sound I was drawn to when I was beginning to write this record.” \"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 \"Equal parts badass guitar slinger and sweet songstress, with masterful lyrical introspection — sublime to raucous.\" – GUITAR WORLD\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTracklisting\u003cbr\u003e1.
