Released 8 September 2014 - available now
Americana powerhouse vocal trio Red Molly is known for their gorgeous harmonies, crisp musicianship, infectious songwriting, and warm, engaging stage presence. Laurie MacAllister (bass), Abbie Gardner (Dobro), and Molly Venter (guitar) weave together the threads of American music - from folk roots to bluegrass, from heartbreaking ballads to barn-burning honky tonk - as effortlessly as they blend their caramel voices into their signature soaring, crystalline three-part harmonies. 'The Red Album' is their 5th and produced by Ken Coomer (Wilco/Uncle Tupelo). " As the sassy cover shot suggests, they are a more assertive, shadowed presence here, with producer Ken Coomer extending their musical palette and demanding more original songs. The result is a fine and varied set" The Observer. This album contains for the first time their cover of the Richard Thompson classis 1952 vincent Black Lightning from where they derive their name.
