GuestlistMagazine.net Review of BMT's New CD Heaven & Earth

I was once told that Americana music is anything that resembles country-based music that mainstream country radio is afraid to play. By that definition, Blue Mother Tupelo is indeed an Americana band as they show with their latest album Heaven & Earth. Through the years Blue Mother Tupelo has been building a very solid fan base and with the release of this album they are sure to grow it even more as this is quite possibly their most solid release to date. The comparisons the husband and wife duo have earned to Sheryl Crow and Gregg Allman are noticeable the minute that you hit play and “Always Lookin’” pulls you into the album. The swapping vocals that are presented captivate you throughout the song as the music that blends 60’s styled pop with country influences keeps you tapping your foot. This same feel can be heard throughout the album on tracks like “Goin’ Down Midnight” and “Runnin’ Round.” However, this isn’t all about the upbeat material. They also take the time to slow things down and showcase their talent as singer/songwriters on the more folk driven tracks like “The War” and “Biloxi,” which leans on their voices to carry the lyric over the subtle use of piano. With the lyrical focus being on aspects of everyday life such as love and faith this album is surely going to attract attention with its relatability factor. While walking the genre borders of Southern Rock, folk, country, and more, you will be hard pressed to categorize Blue Mother Tupelo as anything other than solid, good, Americana music.
