Heavy On The Blues

EDITORIAL REVIEWS


RORY BLOCK'S HEAVY ON THE BLUES IS HER 37TH RELEASE WITH A MIX OF COVERS AND ORIGINALS. WITH SPECIAL GUEST RONNIE EARL.
M.C. Records is thrilled to release Rory Block's Heavy On The Blues! She is the standard bearer for early American roots blues- a celebrated, multi-award-winning artist and a songwriter whose originals ring with unadorned power and truth. Her new release is a mix of covers and original songs, including Jimi Hendrix, Memphis Minnie, and Koko Taylor. Special guest is Ronnie Earl.

Rory Block is a Gold-album selling and 7-time Blues Music Award winner, widely regarded as the top female performer of traditional country blues. Rory's commitment as a blues preservationist with an ear for finding the soul of every song she performs has rewarded her with accolades from the blues and roots music community.

Rory Block cut her first album at age 12, backing her father on The Elektra String Band Project. In her career, she has produced 36 albums. Rory is living life as a music producer, author, ordained minister (she refers to it as "Preaching the Blues"), a music producer, festival promoter, mother, wife, and friend to thousands at her ChurchLIVE venue in rural Chatham, New York.

Her playing is perfect, her singing otherworldly as she wrestles with ghosts, shadows, and legends - The New York Times

Rory Block has been an inspiration to me since we started out years ago.
Her guitar playing, singing, and songwriting are some of the most soulful in traditional and modern blues. - Bonnie Raitt

Block has cut a wide swath during the past 40+ years in what could be called a one-woman quest for keeping the masters of the acoustic blues alive. - No Depression
