Blue Mother Tupelo

Blue Mother Tupelo

Ricky and Micol Davis, shortly after marrying in 1994, began their musical life together at an open mic night in Knoxville, Tennessee. Their latest CD, Heaven & Earth, has made waves across Americana and Roots Rock Radio stations worldwide.  It debuted at #2, behind Kris Kristofferson, on the EuroAmericana Charts for November of 2009.  

More about Blue Mother Tupelo:

After releasing their debut album, My Side Of The Road (now out-of-print), in 1997, they moved to Nashville in 1998. Vanguard recording artist Mindy Smith, who had just moved from Knoxville to Nashville a few months earlier, encouraged Ricky and Micol to move to Music City, where open mics, jam sessions and songwriter rounds found the duo ready for 2001's Delta Low ~ Mountain High. 2005's Miramax film, Daltry Calhoun, features Blue Mother Tupelo's dreamy rendition of the Paul Anka classic, "Put Your Head On My Shoulder". Love Live ~ 5 Songs From The Road showcases some live favorites recorded between 2001 and 2006, and highlights BMT’s penchant for jams and spontaneous sincerity. The song “Without You” (from Delta Low ~ Mountain High) is included in 2009’s 1970s style film, Sugar Boxx, directed by cult film maker Cody Jarrett. BMT has opened shows for Delbert McClinton, Raul Malo, The Subdudes, Sonny Landreth, Guster, and many other wonderful and popular artists.  Through the years, BMT has traveled wherever the music leads, often throughout the Southeast and in Switzerland this May.
