Artist / Band Name: Blue Mother Tupelo

Genre: Americana

Blue Mother Tupelo is the songwriter/artist husband-and-wife duo of Ricky & Micol Davis. BMT oozes a kind of blue, southern-soul and roots-y, country rock that cuts a deep line straight to your heart. BMT’s songs and recordings have garnered favor from fans around the world, charting in the top 40 on various music playlists for radio and finding themselves in exceptional company debuting at number 2, behind ‪Kris Kristofferson‬, on the Euro-Americana charts. They’ve had song appearances in some movies, lent their voices and instruments to a number of TV & radio commercials, and appeared as guests on recordings of other popular and inspiring artists. Most-recently, BMT was one of ten featured artists chosen by BMI to perform on “”The New Sounds Of Nashville”” concert.

The Davis duo is working on a new studio album that has a decidedly electric edge with plans for a 2020 release. This will be the 6th full-length album by Blue Mother Tupelo.

For over 20 years, Ricky & Micol called Hendersonville, Tennessee home just minutes from “The Music City” Nashville, Tennessee. They currently reside in Como, Mississippi; another town full of musical heritage in its own right.

Who or what would you say has been the greatest influence on your music?

Life. And and good soulful southern music.

Favorite song you’ve composed, why it’s your favorite, and/or the story behind it?

The next song that I write.

If you could meet any artist, living or dead, which would you choose and why?

Jimi Hendrix. It’d be amazing to hang with this master of music.

Most embarrassing thing ever to happen at a gig?

Getting choked and coughing while singing.

What was the most significant thing to happen to you in the course of your music?

Being introduced to Kris Kristofferson is certainly one of the most significant.

Please recommend another band or artist(s) to our readers who you feel deserves attention.

Hailing from the backwoods of north Mississippi, MyLove Barnett spent a decade tripping up the corporate ladder as an accountant before trading in her stilettos and pencil skirts for jeans and flip flops and the privilege of working for various platforms as a writer, editor, and content manager.Although she has an MBA and a BS in accounting, she's found her passion falls more in the creative arts of writing and graphic design. She lives, writes, and raises hell on the outskirts of Tupelo in the small community of Nettleton.
