Find My Way Home by The Laurie Morvan Band

Morvan handles all guitar parts... aggressive fretwork..." (Blues Review Magazine, Dec/Jan 2005)

"She's one of a kind. A kind that gives all blues lovers hope for the future. I don't know if any Scandinavian booking agents read these feedbacks, but please: Get this band to our side of the Atlantic! It should be considered a crime keeping them in the U.S. I wanna experience them live!" ((Nye Radio Larvik, Norvway)

"Stevie Ray Vaughan...the next generation is moving in. The only way to appreciate this CD is to TURN IT UP LOUD AND LET IT ROCK YOU!" (QBN FM 96.7, Australia, Dec. 8, 2005)

"Great guitar work with powerful soulful vocal work. This lady can wail. You go girl!" (HBN Radio, Pennsylvania, Dec. 2005)

"...powerful guitar playing and great singing with a great back up band...you owe it to yourself to check out the Laurie Morvan Band." (KBOV 1230 AM, California, Jan. 2006)

Laurie Morvan confidently leads her band through a dynamic range of red hot blues rockers to contemplative, acoustic ballads. Her crowd-igniting guitar playing asserts itself as the driving force of the album, setting the rhythmic mood of each composition and culminating in fluid, melodic solos. While deeply anchored in the blues rock genre, the 8 original and 3 cover songs are textured with everything from lush three part harmonies to flute and violin. Laurie's compelling personality is revealed through her diverse songwriting, infusing the album with equal parts down home humility and blues rockin’ swagger.

The album was also produced by Morvan who fearlessly pushes her talented band to vault it's way over the eclectic terrain demanded by her songwriting. This tightly knit group dances gracefully between the playful, upbeat blues of Big Love and I Can't Get Enough to the deep down groove of Hold On To You, then seemlessly switches gears to the introspective, acoustic finesse of the title cut, Find My Way Home. This is a mature album from a woman who has lived just enough of life to understand what it means to howl at the moon in triumph as well as cry alone in the night in despair.

Many of you know the band by its former name: Backroad Shack. In May of 2004, with the release of this album they changed their name to The Laurie Morvan Band. If you like this new album please check out their first album, called Backroad Shack: Out Of The Woods, which is also available here at CD Baby.
