On The Red Album, Red Molly delivers their edgiest
CD to date, with a wildly cool collection of songs.
The “good girls” of Americana/Folk take a distinctive
shift and show true grit on their latest independent
release. Track to track, they weave effortlessly between
acoustic instrumentation and a more modern sound.
The trio, which is celebrating its tenth anniversary in
2014, is comprised of Laurie MacAllister (bass),
Abbie Gardner (dobro), and Molly Venter (guitar).
They are road warriors who regularly perform about
100 concerts each year. The new CD marks their first
Nashville-produced album with Ken Coomer
(original drummer for Wilco and Uncle Tupelo).
The overall result is a grittier sonic landscape,
juxtaposed with Red Molly's signature pristine threepart harmonies. Coomer pushed for more original
material than previous records - eight original songs
made the cut - four written by Venter and four by
Gardner. The band also continues their long
tradition of honoring other songwriters, with
MacAllister on lead vocal for four covers, including
Simon and Garfunkel’s "Homeward Bound". Plus, to
the certain delight of thousands of "RedHeads", Red
Molly has finally recorded Richard Thompson's
iconic "1952 Vincent Black Lightning", their
namesake song!
TARGETING FOLK, AAA & AMERICANA RADIO
GOING FOR ADDS: MAY 27TH 2014
"From Day One, Red Molly conjured musical magic. A
decade later, they've honed their songwriting, their
covers, their playing and, above all, their harmonies into
something joyful and sublime."
John Platt, WFUV FM, Sunday Breakfast
"Femme Phenom! No root from the grand tree of music is
left untouched - classic country heartbreak, undeniable
swing, authentic folk, gospel rock with an edge, and
Americana stomp. With smart production, a strong
thread runs throughout the album and every note sung is
upheld on cosmic harmony. Red Molly is unstoppable.
Highly recommended."
