"Melody Guy has the talent that is required to make it in this industry. Her song-writing is a notch above most and that is what is going to give her longevity in a business that is always in a rush for the next best thing." Kevin
Welch, Music Director ____________________. "You get the feeling when listening to Melody perform that you should have paid for a $30 ticket, and somehow the bouncer hasn't caught you yet." KUPL
Bonafide Country Newspaper ____________________. Her music is rooted in blues, rhythm and blues and country, which translates into a strong crossover appeal. She brings a fresh approach to country western music. "What separates Guy from her contemporaries, besides her sexy soulful voice, is her song-writing ability. It is strong and heartfelt. Her songs seem to be snapshots that peek into a life progressing. --Daniel J. Curran, Music Writer "For tradition, spin Patty Loveless. For soul, pull out your Al Green discs. For a bit of grit, put on Delbert McClinton. Or, save time and get it all with Melody Guy's debut release." --Billboard "A compelling new voice in country music, Melody Guy subtly twists the convention to bring a breath of fresh air to the genre." --New Country "Traditional country music for those that think tradition needs it's tail tweaked from time to time."-- Musician "Melody Girl...Guy possesses a beautiful, plaintative voice that easily conveys her well-crafted songs of love, loss and emotion." --Kyle O'Brien, Oregonian MELODY GUY
Melody Guy’s recently released 3 rd Album, Signs of Trouble , relate to high-school memories; teen-age mothers; lost love; temptation; true love and the maturity to spot the signs of trouble and move on. Melody’s 3 rd CD, Signs Of Trouble , is a blend of realism, showing the maturity of someone who knows the signs of trouble and has the strength and wisdom to move on. Melody has moved on, and has continued to write songs, reaching out to tell the stories of not only her own life’s lessons, but also of others who have special struggles. The songs on this album have lessons learned and show triumph over problems that everyone can relate to, and show a new attitude that can only come from experience.
Her songwriting draws comparisons to Lucinda Williams, Steve Earle, Mary-Chapin Carpenter, Kim Richey and Melissa Etheridge, but the voice and stories are all Melody Guy. Melody is no stranger to the spotlight and has shared the stage with Martina McBride, Keith Urban, Aaron Tippin, Leon Russell, Andy Griggs, Chris LeDoux, Joe Diffie, The Warren Brothers, Nanci Griffith, Jim Messina, Dan Seals, Lee Ann Womack, Chad Brock, Steve Azar, Sherrie Austin and Rosie Flores . Her intuitive band displays tasteful restraint that allows Melody’s voice and songwriting to shine through without losing the strength and passion of her personality. Her live performances are an impassioned mix of honesty and pure fun that make you feel like she’s playing and singing just for you. Awards. JPFOLKS.COM
