Wallace

Blues Music Award-nominated vocalist Nora Jean Wallace shows us all how it’s done on her new album Blueswoman. Released October 30th, 2020 on Severn Records, the record is a knock-down drag-out blues party that shines a bright light on Wallace’s big voice and bold presence. The set was produced by Severn label boss David Earl, who also contributes guitar work on four songs, and was tracked at Severn’s studio in Annapolis, Maryland. Legendary blues star Kim Wilson of The Fabulous Thunderbirds adds his always-incredible harmonica talents to one song and the Severn studio band, which is Johnny Moeller (guitar), Steve Gomes (bass), Kevin Anker (organ), Steve Guyger (harmonica), Stanley Banks (keyboards), and Robb Stupka (drums), handles the rest of the album with ease and expertise. The resulting record is ten tracks of perfectly-handled straightforward blues that’ll grab you by the headphones and stand your hair on end.

Promoted as a duet, the Wallace Brothers were actually a six-man band with cousins John Simon and Ervin Wallace on lead vocals. Another Wallace (no kin to the brothers) brought the six-piece band to Cleveland Warnock's attention in 1963. Other Wallaces, Cooky and Earnest, also joined; Ervin played the guitar and Earnest the organ.

Nora Jean Wallace has a voice that was made to sing the blues, a voice that will knock you off your feet and demand your attention and thank goodness for that. After taking a break from singing to care for her mother, she returns full force with an album, Nora Jean Wallace "BluesWoman"

Inspired by the likes of the late, great Aretha Franklin, Etta James and Ella Fitzgerald, Marisha Wallace’s voice will pull you from your seat to your feet.
