Michelle Malone “I Choke On My Words” – thanks for reminding me…

Michelle Malone wants you all to know that she’s aware that she did all those things – every one of them: “I said it, regret it, I did it, I thought it, I took it, I smoked it, I stole it, I bought it, I threw it, I broke it, I left it, I caused so much hurt.”  Not that she’s at all proud of that, far from it in fact: “Yes, I’m to blame, but we all have our faults, my current perspective, all I can do is forgive, I did what I did and I wouldn’t again, I’m sorry I said it, and it cost me friends, It almost killed me and yes, that was me at my worst.”  I think we can call that an apology, to be accepted or not.

Michelle Malone has a new album out, ‘Southern Comfort‘ and it’s a title that resonates with this thirty years in the roots rock music business singer, as she says: “I’m very much a southerner this whole record was written, recorded, and performed by southerners, and you can hear it.  There’s rock, country, and folk here.  There’s swagger. Southern Comfort isn’t about booze; it’s about a feeling, a family, a familiarity – all the things that make you feel warm and fuzzy.  For me, that’s Georgia.”

Sure, I could climb high in a tree, or go to Skye on my holiday. I could be happy. All I really want is the excitement of first hearing The Byrds, the amazement of decades of Dylan's music, or the thrill of seeing a band like The Long Ryders live. That's not much to ask, is it?
