Editorial review
Fusing traditional country instrumentation (heavy on the acoustic guitars, mandolin and fiddle) with the artistic inclination of a folkish singer/songwriter, the debut album by Houston-born, Austin-based Melissa Sellers mixes and matches genres in the classic polyglot Austin style. There are even a couple of electric blues tunes here, "Never Again" and "Turn Me Loose," that recall Sellers' Austin compatriot Lou Ann Barton. Overall, it's the most traditional material that works best, like the jaunty 2-step "My Conscience" and the weepy pedal steel barroom ballad "A Drink (Is Easier to Swallow Than My Pride)." Sellers has an appealingly brassy voice (she comes by it honestly, as the daughter of local Austin country/blues favorite Poodle Lynn) best shown on the sassy "It Takes Two," and her band sticks to the rootsy basics throughout, avoiding both clich? and overembellishment. There's little new on Deep South Austin, but what Melissa Sellers does, she does quite well. ~ Stewart Mason, All Music Guide
Bio / Background
“Melissa Sellers is a soulful, traditional country singer and a pretty one at that. “Turn Me Loose, Turn Me Loose” is a song with an attitude and Melissa nails it. This song speaks for itself. Melissa is a good friend and a wonderful talent.”
Bobby Boyd
"Melissa is a great singer and a great person. Tons of soul and even more heart. It's only a matter of time before the whole world sees what a great talent she is."
