The overall effect has been called "soultry," a term which also suggests the husky warmth, understated passion and unabashed candor that are equally characteristic of Faye Raye's style. As with the legendary voices of those predecessors who've inspired her, Faye's vocals can seem hauntingly familiar one minute and incomparable the next.

"Catchy" - For a band, is it the descriptor of doom, or actually a compliment? With Silent and Listen, they hope you won't care. This is a song band, first and foremost. Nathan Woody (vocals/guitar) has been dabbling with some of these songs for years. When his former band disbanded in December 2007, it was time to find a rhythm section and record a few of the songs to see if they could work. Enter Marlon Rhine (drummer) who was finishing up his most recent band and looking to branch out. After only a couple of rehearsals, there was enough promise that they hit Joel Mullis' Fatback Studios and recorded three songs. Those songs were good enough that they decided to find a bass player. While not the gospel style he was playing at the time, Philip Mallory (bass) nonetheless made an instant fit. A few shows were played, and were well received. Even the 'bad' gigs; People stuck around; They tapped their feet. So, more songs were recorded. Now they've got their first full length album. But no sweat if you want to call them 'catchy'. Go ahead. That's the point, people.

Armed with a bottleneck slide, blues harmonica, and her signature soul-filled vocals, Michelle Malone was born in the Deep South and grew up listening to her mother sing in the church choir every Sunday. When it came time to craft her own sound, she took those religious roots, blended in enough rock, folk, and blues to satisfy. The result is, Debris, a high-spirited stripped down blend of rootsy acoustic slide, gritty electric blues and explosive vocals that harkens back to the lost recordings of Bonnie Raitt, Lucinda Williams and The Rolling Stones.Debris, Michelle’s 10th release, is easily one of her most revealing and emotional discs. Helping her capture the mood is producer Nick Di Dia (Nick has been Brendon O’Brien’s engineer for 15 years, and has worked on recordings by Springsteen, Pearl Jam, Train, Matthew Sweet). Says Malone, “Nick is brilliant, and we found that we work very well together. He was able to translate the live grit of “Feather In A Hurricane” and “Undertow” and in the next breath illustrate his sensitivity and finesse on “14th Street and Mars” and “Debris”. He let the songs take us where they wanted to go.
