Den Missouri födda sångerskan och låtskrivaren har genom
sina skivor och live shower fått en mycket lojal fanskara både i USA och internationellt.
Oavsett om hon framför varianter av Rockabilly, Country
eller Blues så är hon erkänd bland root musik fans för sin äkthet, smak och
själfullhet.
Hon har samarbetat med artister som Wanda Jackson,
Jimmie Vaughan, Lou Ann Barton, Nick Curran, Cornell Hurd, Janis Martin, Rosie
Flores och många fler.
Under 2013 var hon här I Sverige på turné och hon kom att gilla våra
lokala musiker som kompade henne så mycket att hon ville spela in sitt nästa
album med dom här I Enviken studion!
För att verkligen markera att detta är starten på något nytt har hon
valt att kalla denna konstellation “Marti Brom
& Her Rancho Notorious”
Deke Dickerson sammanfattar det rätt bra
här:
“Great news for
many fans of the Texas songbird and Ameripolitan Award-winner MARTI BROM—this
is her newest album, and it’s a doozy!
Marti has
made a reputation for herself all over the globe with her singing talents. She has won over hearts in Australia, knocked
them dead all over Europe, and stunned American crowds with equal fervor.
Marti is the real deal, and this new album
delivers more of the greatness you’ve come to expect.
Recorded in
Sweden with excellent Swedish musicians and a few guests like Rosie Flores,
Chris Ruest and Billy Bremner, “Midnight Bus” continues the great mixture of
rockabilly, honky-tonk and ‘torch country’ that Marti has nurtured and refined
through the years.
From the
album’s rockin’ opener “Come Destroy Me” (a Marti original) to “If If Was A
Fifth” to “Mama’s Little Babies Was A Rockin” to “Last Ten Years With You” (the
latter written by Dr. “Crazy” Joe Tritschler) and her cover of Little Richard’s
“Slippin’ and Slidin’,” Marti’s rockabilly fans will not be disappointed!
She dips
into hard country with numbers like “Lasso Mr. Moon,” “Push Me Till I’m Gone,”
“Lies Of A Promise,” and the classic number “Little Ole Winedrinker Me.”
Marti’s emotive, heartbreaking voice will
knock you down on numbers like “Ambush,”
“Stiletto In Black,” “Drivin’ Me Crazy,” and the title track, John D.
Loudermilk’s “Midnight Bus.” (And if
you’re lucky enough to own the vinyl release of the album, you can hear Marti
shred some bluegrass on “Damn Those Little Demons,” a vinyl-only bonus track)
Marti Brom never lets you down. This album is a great one to add to your
collection. Catch her on tour when she
comes to your town, and let her know how great she really is.
She’s really a treasure, and we’re lucky
to have her.”
